Oreo: TWRP + Magisk - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

Hi, finally my BLN-L21 have an Oreo rom (thank to @shashank1320 ), but i need a TWRP and a Magisk fully working on my phone... :angel: Supersu is accepted but i prefer Magisk
Link, link please!!! :highfive:
Thanks...

For TWRP use the one available in the elemental ROM thread. The only problem is that it doesn't mount internal so you will need an SD card to flash anything. This is because EMUI 8 is encrypted and TWRP doesn't have decryption support. For Magisk, use latest zip download from official thread. Also keep in mind that there is no sound mod available for stock EMUI 8 and that the command to flash TWRP is: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY-V2.img (nameofimage.img)
Good Luck!!

No problem for sound mod, i only need magisk for root permission to use Adaway... No other app !!!
I'll try as you advised me, i hope everything goes well ...
Ok, work well! Now my 6x are rooted!

cant install any OS

Hi guys
So i created quite a mess here..
Device:
Mate 9 L09C432
I had RomAur B197 installed.
Then i tried to somehow get to oreo.
I was able to flash the newest oreo stock firmware with HWOTA tool and it worked but it was unrooted & locked i guess.
So i unlocked it again and flashed twrp 3.2.1-0 fromfuture edition.
Seems like the data was decrypted, i just saw strange filename, so i wiped data, what actually helped.
Unfortunately this somehow broke the system and starting the os caused a bootloop.
Then i discovered that MTP was not working in TWRP so i flashed TWRP 3.2.1-0 by Pretoriano80.
With this recovery MTP was working so i tried to flash an OS somehow.
I tried to flash the stock firmware again with HWOTA8 but it failed at the update.zip
Manual flash in twrp also fails for that update.zip.
I also tried to flash a treble rom from a german forum.
After that twrp was not starting anymore (bootloop).
So back to twrp by fromfuture where MTP is not working, good that i have an SD card.
And i once wiped system because the space was 0mb after that it was fine again.
TWRP gives the following for the update.zip file:
Code:
...
write radio image...
check_write_data_to_partition,write data error update_huawei_pkd_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed.
E:unknown dommand [errno]
update process ended wit ERROR: 9
Error installing zip file...
So yeah im a bit out of ideas..
Any ideas are welcome
Thanks
Your mistake is trying to flash a custom rom using TWRP. Most treble/Oreo roms can not be flashed with TRWP. Upgrading to Oreo changes the partitions on the device and that may have caused your issue. My advice would be to download the Huawei update extractor and your current firmware. Open up the extractor and extract the recovery ramdisk. Flash the stock recovery via fastboot. Once you have the stock recovery back. Download the Carbonromv4 from openkirin.net and flash that. That you should get you back up and running. Search XDA for how to install a generic treble system img or check the support page on the Openkirin site for instructions.
Thanks for this advice, everything worked
It was that easy but I just didn't know before..
anyways thanks a lot!

Glad to hear it worked for you! The treble roms work really well and if you are looking for a better camera try the P20 camera port. You will have to re-flash TWRP to install it, but you can then flash the stock recovery back.

How to install twrp and which twrp

I'm on open beta 4 pie. Want to flash twrp to update to stable from open beta. Currently on stock recovery

I really hate just writing this but:
There are people that have written guides for all that you ask for. Please use the forum as intended, this questions have been asked alot of times, in your previous thread I also gave you answers if you don't like em say so there instead of making a new thread.
I'll do this one more time....
Fastboot blu_spark twrp 985v2. Img
While in twrp flash blu_spark twrp 985v2.zip
REBOOT to twrp
Flash the full rom.zip
Flash blu_spark twrp 985v2.zip again
REBOOT to twrp
Flash magisk 17.2
Reboot to system
This is the way I did it from beta 3 to stable..... Worked 100%
From 4 to stable should be the same way..

Phone stuck in "device is booting now" screen after oreo update

Hi guys,
I tried to update my Bln-l21 from emui 5 (nougat) to emui 8 (oreo) using the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806
It worked so I went on to install TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-emui-8-0-0-honor-6x-dual-sim-t3794079, as suggested in a comment on the guide.
Only then I realized that in order to install Gapps I needed GSM installer, so I downloaded it, but it didn't work because it loaded TWRP instead of the stock erecovery.
I started to panic real bad
I tried reinstalling the firmware using hwota8 (since i had upgraded i figured i had to use that), but it completely destroyed my phone.
Now it wont boot, recovery wont boot and neither erecovery. I can only get it to enter fastboot.
I know, I am a total noob, but PLEASE help me out on this, i'm desperate.
Thank you so much
If you can enter into fastboot, just install twrp, boot into twrp and flash the ROM using HuRUpdater. Use your external storage for the HuRUpdater and the ROM files. The instructions are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Before flashing through Hurupdater wipe system Cache Data Internal and Dalvik/ART Cache.

Thank you for the answer, I was able to boot in TWRP (the one in the original post) and I downloaded Huru, but I'm unsure of which firmware to use. I want to downgrade back to nougat and rebrand back to europe (since the guide in the original post made me change to china).
Thank you again
Just use China and then install a custom ROM

Just use the original files you used in the first place. The ones you downloaded from the thread. In terms of a custom ROM there is a thread in Custom ROMS section for Pixys OS. Just search stable Pie ROM for Honor 6x and install it. It's very smooth, etc.
This is a EMUI 8 ROM. If you want to go back to EMUI 5 don't use this. This will only restore EMUI 8. After that flash Custom ROM Don't go back to EMUI 5

Hi, I successfully flashed with Hurupdater and I'm going trough the installation of the pixys rom. The guide says that i need to flash the stock recovery for my device, where can I find it?
Can I pull it from the firmware I used for Huru? If that's the case, how?
Thank you again
I do have instructions over there but cause you asked I will tell.
Extract the Update.zip the large file. In it you will have an Update.app. Now serach for Huawei Update Extractor on XDA and Download it. Run the application and navigate to Update.app. Select it and in settings of Extractor uncheck the first option. Now extract Recovery_Ramdis.img and flash it. Luck.

Thank you so much! Now the phone is working again, I'm only having trouble flashing magisk (it doesn't show up among the apps) but i guess i can live without it for now...
Have you got a paypal or something? I wanna buy you a coffe, it seems the least I can do to repay your kindness and patience!

Really there is no need for that. I did what anyone would do. Your thanks is enough.
Can you tell me what version you flashed. What TWRP did you use and what was the message after flashing.Now regarding Magisk, I am gonna assume you flashed the ZIP and the Magisk Manager app didn't show up, correct? To solve that just download Magisk Manager v6.0.1 and install the apk.
If that's not the issue then download any Root Checker app to see if device is rooted. Although I guess you need Magisk Manager to validate Root access. So just install Magisk Manager and let me know what it says. If it says device is unrooted then you probably need to flash Magisk again.
P.S: I don't have a PayPal. Not yet available in my country.

I really appreciate your kindness,
I flashed the latest version of magisk available from the official thread using the same TWRP from before (king of mezi TWRP from elemental rom thread) and it looked fine... Yes, the app didn't show up, I will try with the manager and I'll let you know.
[edit] I installed the manager and turns out it actually worked the first time and I'm already rooted!
Thank you again, you've been wonderful!
Glad to help.

TWRP for EMUI 9 Android Pie with decryption

I've installed EMUI 9 on my MAte 9 (the beta project) and tried TWRP 3.2.1 Oreo FBE by @ante0
Sadly decryption does not work (TWRP does not even ask for PIN) and cannot install anything (like Magisk) :/ I've attached recovery.log from TWRP, maybe someone could take a look that's wrong, what has to be done to make TWRP working? @ante0 ?

Oreo is for Oreo. Emui9 handles decryption differently.
However, Magisk will not install regardless if you have TWRP or not. You will need to patch recovery_ramdisk (extract from stock update.app) in Magisk Manager, flash patched_boot.img to recovery_ramdisk using fastboot then boot to recovery when you want Magisk.
This is because Emui9 has no ramdisk partition.
Magisk recovery ramdisk will boot to system with Magisk instead of boot to recovery.
Use this as reference (do not flash the ramdisks in that thread as they're for BLA/ALP) https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-magisk-root-mate-10-pro-t3886967
OK, thanks for explanation. What I need is to download EMUI 9 firmware (Full OTA)...hard to find because it's beta stage.
So TWRP is useless right now. Is it possible to create working TWRP FBE for Mate 9 Pie?
no possible so ... update pie fir pie....no twrp no HuRupdater

So from what I've read, if you flash the rom first, then update your recovery you should be good?

Just info : Link updated https://github.com/GuaiYiHu/android...2.3.0-whyred/TWRP-20190330-3.2.3.0-whyred.img
it's a recovery so magisk is your choice if you want it or not.

I had this problem before. when you flash twrp, try to reboot to twrp again. then the twrp won't be flashed by stock recovery.
