I noticed some annoying bugs in Emui, so I thought "hey, why don't reinstall the OS" I tried it over HiSuite but it didn't worked out. After that i noticed the "download the full current package" button in System update. The button does nothing, is this normal? I'm just confused asf, the Mate 9 is my first device so idk. I also noticed that Huawei isnt offering the full roms anywhere where the public can find it easily. OnePlus & Samsung did a better job there... Is there even an easy way to reinstall the OS or update it manually?

Yes. It is normal when System Update doesn't download "full package", cause it checks current and choose not download same version.
And yes. Huawei doesn't offer full ROMs in easy places. They post all ROMs on HiCloud (Huawei Cloud Resource) silently. In a few cases they can post ROMs on Huawei official site, but it is too rare.
Huawei thinks that no necessary to told everyone that new version is coming, cause they are using method with OTA updates.
And no. There is no easy way to reinstall OS or update manually, but with some exceptions.
Current free method uses modified recovery to force update. It requires bootloader unlock procedure (unlock forces factory reset procedure). Additionally method requires some knowledge how whole process is running.
There is paid method also. It is easy in general and you should DNS setup only. But a few percents are choosing pay for service what helps people to install free ROMs.

Are you serious ??
@idealfall1
The easy place to download firmware is firmware finder on Google play store they have all Huawei firmware for all model...
Or we have this site
http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=
Find your model number and download it.
And for finish we have a very very easy way to force re-installing firmware without root or flash recovery or paid solution or unlock bootloader... It's the 3 button method !!!
Create a folder in external SD card, call him dload and put firmware (update.app) in, turn off your phone press volume down + volume up + power in the same time and voilà
Sorry for my bad english

Huawei Firmware Finder is private project of enthusiasts. They don't host any firmware and only help people to find ROM in HiCloud. But question from idealfall1 was why Huawei isnt offering the full roms anywhere where the public can find it easily. Other manufacturers do it.

Do you have Mate 9? Did you try install something with 3-button method? I tried many times. It is not working.
In case of Mate 9 Huawei added special tag "UPDATE_ONLINE" in rom. And most roms are with this tag will not install via 3-button...

If you are right, so it is very good news!
5 or 6 months nobody can't install roms via 3-button. There are only 3 service ROMs with tag "offline_update".
What exact version do you have? I will download and check for tag.

Ok, conclusion time. Mate 9 users cannot update via 3-button because of this special flag/string. Does the firmware finder work? It's technically an online update, right? I'm a little bit confused... Firmware Finder found for me some FWs from june... Can I install them? Sorry I'm not looking through this mess xD
When I buy it they are in b126 version and upload on b138 but if the 3 button method don't work for update firmware like you say may be can work for him because he want flash the same version of firmware, are you fellow my reasoning ?

If you're using FF, you must know that it forces ROM to system update.
Workflow is simple:
1. Find ROM
2. Force to system update
System Update will download ROM by self, like update is coming from Huawei officially.
But Huawei prevents this trick on very new ROMs and additionally checks for authorization.
In it's turn, FF can check ROM too, tries to reproduce Huawei's routine.
So, if you want install latest rom, you have to use method with modified recovery to force update.
If you want install old ROM - force update via FF.
P.s. We are all huaweied

Yeah. Good idea.
Three button reset does not work with the Mate 9.
It just doesn't.
You can only factory reset if you're on stock.
That applies to ALL stock firmware as far as I know.
Hi all. Today I purchased an Honor 6x. I am in the UK. The phone has been on all day and I have been tapping the update button like crazy. It seems that I am stuck on EMUI 4.1.3 and Android Marshmallow. Should there be a Nougat update in the UK for this phone? Thanks in advance

No, it doesn't work at 100%, often users detect problems of various types after using FF here on XDA, this because it can download even packages that not always match your phone variant...

Updates should be already came out if I'm not wrong, try to force the update by clicking on system uodaye -> 3 dots on the upper right corner -> down latest update. If nothing is found, try to write to Huawei and ask about the most recent update for your build
I have sent Huawei an email requesting information with regards to an update. Obviously I'll get no reply being the weekend so I have been sat here looking at firmware finder. So close to using it. From what I understand it won't void the warranty of the phone if I update using firmware finder. What if the update doesn't work can I revert back to the original version. What if the update bricks the phone? Is that easy to fix?
TIA

The rollback packages are available only for a limited amount of models at the moment (and i think forever, if Huawei wouldn't upload other packages as they've decided to do) so it could be a pain without a proper TWRP backup. For unbricking, there are some methods for doing that and it could be easy like it couldn't be, it just depends by the problem that could occur.
Ah thanks RedSkull. I might try and kerb my eagerness and see if I get a response from Huawei. This week's a bit busy so probably not the time to try anything risky.
i m not able to install stock recovery i m on twrp AND THERE IS NO OS IN MY PHONE

Hi,
Do you know if anyone is working on Magisk for Mediapad T5 ?

HOW I thought Huawei Locked Bootloaders
Huawei and Honor do not provide anymore bootloader's unlock codes.
But some third-party sellers are selling them for old and new devices which are just released.
They are sold online from 40 US$ up to 140 US$ ;
Prices are depending from whom you'll buy.
For more infos about this or to know the less expensive sellers, you can just Telegram me on
https://t.me/oslo83
so... without paying an extra 40, there is no way yet to install magisk, right ?
As right now, I don't think so.
Because Magisk 17.1 is already working fine on mediapad T5.
And can you even gain root access on Huawei via adb?
---------- Post added at 16:23 ---------- Previous post was at 16:22 ----------
By the way, bootloader's unlock code prices dropped down to 25€

Help !!!
Hi Oslo83,
Can i contact you to help me to install magisk to my mediapad T5 please?
Thanks!!!
Still nothing useful for unlocking Huawei devices yet? Pity...
It is possible to unlock the bootloader - at least it was for me; The key is to downgrade the T5 to version 8.0.0.163 or older; Then DC Unlocker can unlock your device for around 4$ - which is I think fair; I only know a German website where it is described for the M5 but worked for my T5..
But probably it is just a translation of a post on xda developers... What is the current version on your T5?
AGS2 C432B163 with december 2018 security patches ??? -It should not work... @JohnnnyBT Did you order your code between march 29th and april 1st 2019 ? -As codes were made available around that time.
If you use the DC unlocker, they are still available; I just did it few days ago;
Thing is, that they usually not work on newer devices because of some patch by Huawei - that's why I downgraded it; Downgrading with the December patch, however is indeed impossible I think?
What is your Build Number when you go to settings -> android version?

Because AGS2-W09C432B126 with august 2018 security patches was already not working with DC or hcu softwares...

Hey can you link a tutorial on how to Root the MediaPad t5?
I think mine is already unlocked because in Canada, wireless service providers (Rogers for me) are required to sell already unlocked devices.
EDIT: My Build Number is AGS2-L03 8.0.0.175(C654)
Security Patch: March 1, 2019
Sim-lock and Bootloader-lock are two different locks.
Just boot in bootloader mode aka fastbootmode and see what is written on.
Phone locked means your bootloader is locked, meaning no root for now...
It didnt say anything.
I booted up using Power + Volume Down and it said nothing at all. It booted into safe mode once though.
(Tried this like 10 times. And ive rooted every samsung phone ive had from the s4,5,6,7 so i have some experience doing this)
I just want to root my tablet so i can use ps4 remote play. Does anyone have a safe method i can use?
EDIT: Plugged into PC and it says "Phone Locked FRP Lock". Guess rooting is out of the question for now
As the tiltle said, ive seen the 9.0.155 firmware for all M5 Devices, which means that it might take max. 1 month to be downloaded from ota.
See the screenshot below in the attachment
Update 1: the chinese firmware which is C00 might get merged with the other regions firmware, which means that we might get the advantages of the chinese Firmware (e.g. online themes in theme app, .......)
By the way, this update does support Full screen gestures, i saw it after unpacking the firmware
Note: if you want to flash the firmware using flashy, DONT AND NEVER EVER using eRecovery to downgrade as this will COMPLETELY destroying your device, just do not downgrade for now
Update: EMUI 9 is officially start rolling out, some people already received it through HiCare app, All credits go to @sz.hatef's for this announcement.
Woww great news!! Thanks for sharing!!
Not showing up on my SHT-W09C567. Still waiting for 8.0.0.196 to be approved.
When EMUI 9 is released should we be able to root in the usual fashion?

If I have an unlocked Bootloader and want to keep it (I am on PHHH-Treble, vendor says 8.0.0.161, C423) that way, but update the vendor, is this Update the way to go?
So unpack, patch ramdisk and flash all the necessary files?

Due to the crash while flashing, I wouldn't recommend flashing the build at all. Besides, my bootloader stayed unlocked, so updating the vendor should be possible, eventhough I don't see the reason for it? Do you want to flash Pie based GSIs?
Yeah, Pie-based GSI are on the horizon ... can only get one or two to boot (phh and I think Havoc).
Edit: I do not want to lose rot, so I'll have to wait a little longer

Can you please share a video how the full screen gestures look like?
BTW this crash while rebooting after flashing emui 9 on m5 will cause a HUGE problem if you want to downgrade using eRecovery as it happend once to me, i had to send it to huawei service, this problem will not even let you enter fastboot and you can not even unbrick your device using the chinese version of hisuite, so be careful and try not to enter eRecovery at all, (the crash is because there flashy do flash an only p20 pro FSD (firmware package check disable) and it is not for M5 so the abort will be caused while flashing the xloader (huaweis bootloader)

Now I think it's time to bring you back to canary labs faster than beta labs.
Internal build version: PL2-4040-0-00WW-B01
It will be updated from: PL2-354N-0-00WW-B01, which is released October 2019 Security Update
As I've warned before - having an unlocked bootloader is strongly recommended.
So recent builds removed handy 874 dialing codes, we have to install them under recovery or Nokia Extensions.
Let me tell you how to verify:
1. Dial *#*#227#*#* to check current Version. If older than PL2-354N-0-00WW-B01, update to 354N before proceed.
FYI, 354N is October 2019 Security Update.
Alternately, you can use command "fastboot oem getversions" under fastboot mode / Download mode to check current firmware version.
2. Install PL2-4040-0-00WW-B01-354N-0-00WW-B01-update.zip with Nokia Extensions OTA Update module or adb sideload under recovery.
3. Reboot your phone.
That's it.
If minor fixes released, I will upload them as well, then use the same method to install it.
To root the phone, you may want to use Magisk 20 released October 12th, 2019 or newer.

Installed it on my TA-1043.
OS installed fine over adb sideload, everything seems to be working, and it shows "5" next to my wifi icon - guess it's cause it's 5GHz, also the mobile data icon is still not AOSP and some custom thing. Menus kinda feel stutter-ish. Screenshots were broken on first boot.
alternate download links like google drive?
The update wont install
version no. L2-354O-0-00WW-B01
Update: "Photo" mode in stock camera is broken, says "Action not support: 708". Pro mode works fine
how to use magisk?
i tryed to patch boot on magisk and boot from ADB, but phone going n bootloop and doesn't want up
Hi @hikari_calyx I'm currently on the DRG-354N-0-00WW-B01 stock build version with an unlocked bootloader. But the version on the post has PLC. Also, if after sideloading this rom I decide to go back to the October PIE update how hard will that be. Thanks.

The confusion is caused by the fact that the Nokia 6.1 Plus (DRG) forum on XDA was recently deleted and now redirects here.
Apparently XDA is working to restore the DRG forum but it will take some time. Until that is done you can expect to see a lot of confused DRG users here on the PL2 forum. Please help them out if you can.

Yeah, noticed that, too. I've been experiencing redirect problems since yesterday. Anyway, I installed Android 10 leaked internal build on my Nokia 6.1 Plus with a locked bootloader :silly: . Been using it for more than 48 hours and I have not faced any major issue, except for the not working microphone during calls (plugging in earphones can suffice, though).

Hi @hikari_calyx I'm currently on the DRG-354N-0-00WW-B01 stock build version with an unlocked bootloader. But the version on the post has PLC. Also, if after sideloading this rom I decide to go back to the October PIE update how hard will that be. Thanks.

Here's the link for the DRG version for anyone who needs it. (Since the DRG forum is currently down.)
Only install this if you are using a Nokia 6.1 Plus or X6 (DRG). DO NOT try to install on Nokia 6.1 2018 (PL2).

"If you don't have unlocked bootloader, you'll unable to roll back to stable build!"
Literally on top of the OP post. As every downgrade/restoration method needs an unlocked bootloader, you can either unlock yours (paid external service), or wait for an eventual OTA zip (not guaranteed, as stated by the OP) that will bring you back on Android 10 official Beta/Release in a couple of weeks.

Project Treble A/B? B slot don't help me?
I guess it ils worth a try. Reboot to bootloader, then "fastboot getvar all" to get active slot and "fastboot --set-active=[a/b, your inactive slot]
The thing is, with official OTA updates, once the update is over and everything went well, the previous slot is not necessarily in a bootable/usable state anymore. It is not the case with most custom roms/gsi as you either update directly on the current slot or on the other without modifying the active one, so you can switch between slots without issues.

If you switch inactive slot to active slot and reboot... it will ask to do a factory reset. Perform the factory reset and you should be back to the Pie version. Use the fastboot commands Solannae posted above.

Battery draining fast on Internal Android 10.
The battery drain was due to the Adguard app. Everything is working normal again.
