This is the soak test and not the official update.Somebody tag a mod here and get this thread deleted.OP,there are so many threads and yet you made a new one?
good morning OP
You're going to be bricking a lot of phones.What's the target version ?You have clearly not mentioned other prerequisites to flash this OTA.Why is this thread not being deleted ?
If you have the latest update in US, don't use it. The keys are 63/64. I have the 64/65. It will not update on stock. You probably need to downgrade

Here is a website that was made by /u/thesbros, i don't know if he has an XDA. On this website you can select your phone version and then an OTA build and check which updates are available on the ATT server for you to download and update from recovery. This won't wipe your data, but there are some bootloader 2 builds on here. This also contains Oreo beta OTAs. Not for Note8 but for S8's.
How to update:
1. Download your file.
2. Put that zip onto your SD card.
3. Boot into recovery and select Update via SD
4. Select your update.zip file
5. Your phone is updating.
How to update with a computer:
1. Download your file.
2. Boot into recovery on your phone.
3. Select Update via ADB.
4. On your computer type adb sideload <update.zip file location>
5. Your phone is updating.
For the oreo betas, search under 950u QJC. The latest updates area all ota files from that software
What's Oreo, what's anything?
What is g950usqu2zkm?

Well, thanks for clearing that up.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device. Use the steps below at your own risk . Be mindful of the facts unlocking bootloader voids your warranty and also hard resets your device - ALL YOUR DATA, SETTINGS, FILES AND APPS WILL BE DELETED. Rooting your device voids warranty as well. I own the Chinese SHT-AL09 8.4" LTE device and tested this root procedure ONLY WITH THIS MODEL. However, I believe there is a good chance the steps below will work for all other models of MediaPad M5, including WiFi only variants and 10" models. You MUST unlock your bootloader first. Do NOT use ramdisk image I provide in the steps below for any other model besides SHT-AL09 - doing so is guaranteed to render your device unusable. Ramdisk I provided is ONLY for SHT-AL09. You will need to extract your own ramdisk from stock firmware, specific to your device model
Credits:
@Wirmpolter - this root method largely based on his Magisk guide for Mate 9
@topjohnwu for creating the awesome Magisk Manager, which was used to patch ramdisk image with superuser binary
People, who created HuaweiUpdateExtractor
@magnumlove who pointed me in the right for developing root method in this post
This site, for hosting stock firmware for Huawei MediaPad M5
1. First, you will need to unlock the bootloader of your M5. Follow this guide
2. Transfer this patched ramdisk image to your device
Note for users with version of M5 other than SHT-AL09: Do NOT use the above ramdisk image. Download the full stock rom (update.zip) from the site I linked in the credits. Extract UPDATE.APP file from the zip. Then use HuaweiUpdateExtractor to extract ramdisk.img specific to your device. If you get errors in HuaweiUpdateExtractor - uncheck first 2 checkboxes for checksum verification on Settings tab and try again
3. Once bootloader is unlocked, install latest Magisk Manager from the official Magisk thread
4. Once Magisk Manager gives you a pop-up prompt to either download Magisk zip or patch the boot image file - chose to patch the boot image, but instead of boot.img select ramdisk.img from step 2. Magisk Manager should give you a message the image was successfully patched. It will be saved as patched_boot.img in MagiskManager folder on your sdcard. If it does not say success - do NOT proceed
5. Transfer the newly created patched_boot.img back to your PC
6. If you already have ADB and Fastboot tools installed on your PC you can just use what you've got. If not - get them from here
7. Connect your M5 to PC via USB cable
8. Run command prompt. If your ADB and Fastboot are installed as system app - you can do this from any path in CMD. If not - you need to switch in CMD to your ADB and Fastboot folder. Either way, the patched ramdisk patched_boot.img file must be in the same path, from which you will be running commands below in CMD window
9. Type "adb " in CMD window to start android debug bridge
10. Type "adb reboot-bootloader" and wait until your device restarts in Download mode
11. Once in Download mode, type "fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img" - you should see some output from flash procedure, indicating successful flash
12. Once patched ramdisk is flashed, type "fastboot reboot"
That is it - you're done. Once your device reboots it will be rooted.
Note 1: Magisk Manager has it's own built-in superuser app and uses Systemless root, which works completely differently - you will not see external, standalone app like SuperSU or SU you might be familiar with in your App Drawer. The way to control the superuser app is from Magisk Manager itself: Settings->Superuser section
Note 2: I don't do tech support via PM, so don't PM me for help or with questions. Use the thread instead, and some other XDA members or myself will probably help you. Good luck!
Note 3: You may find some links to Huawei stock firmware in the 2nd post
UPDATE - August 6, 2018
Huawei officially approved 8.0.0.171 firmware with GPU Turbo for installation on SHT-AL09 devices. If you're doing first time root - just follow the original steps above. If you are already rooted and want to upgrade to 8.0.0.171 - follow the steps below:
1. Boot into download mode:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
from CMD window
2. Flash stock recovery from 8.0.0.171 to your device in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
3. Download and install the official OTA through Settings (full or just the update)
4. Boot into download mode again and flash patched ramdisk from 8.0.0.171
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
5. OPTIONAL: If you were using TWRP or any custom recovery - you will need to reflash it back
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
or whatever you named your custom recovery image
REMINDER: Do NOT use ramdisk image I provided for any other model besides SHT-AL09 - doing so is guaranteed to render your device unusable. This patched ramdisk is ONLY for SHT-AL09. You will need to extract your own ramdisk from stock firmware, specific to your device model
Needless to say, all the images you are going to flash must reside in the same directory, from which you are going to be running the CMD commands. If your ADB/Fastboot folder is not in your WIndows' PATH environmental variable - the images must be placed in the same folder where ADB/Fastboot binaries are, and CMD commands must be run from that folder.

I'm considering buying an SHT-W09 with firmware version 8.0.0.200 (C567), but I'd like to know if I can root it first. I do not know if the bootloader has been unlocked. Since you have the same version, can you confirm that it's possible to unlock and root, and if so, sketch out how it's done? I'm confused about whether it's possible with this firmware.

Unlocking is possible *only* if you've gotten already your unlock code. As this service was suspended about 2 years ago there is no easy way to get it unlocked.
Small request to developers, or people with access to reliable file hosting: I don't have a developer account, so all the files I linked or referenced in the OP are hosted on free hosting sites. That file hosting has expiration date and max downloads limit, so the files will become inaccessible sooner rather than later. Please upload these files to reliable hosting and create a post with the links. I will link your post in the OP as a mirror.
In the meantime, mirror for SHT-W09 firmware: https://mega.nz/#!asVjmZrR!bW2OmXgTjnyVN4pqb9fA7OzAJ4bzil7YZxNW14qoCmk
I can confirm that this works on the 10.8" wifi model using the devices relevant ramdisk.img.
Hello, can somebody test sixaxis controller tool with root and magisk? There is a Trial in Google Play Store, that is called sixaxis compatibility checker without purchise the App. Maybe i want to buy the Tablet, but only with Dualshock 4 Support...
Just a heads up, been following threads on this forum for flashing a GSI. Now that you guys can root, you can also make backups of your own stock system image if you can't find one from Firmware Finder. Then you can safely try flashing the GSI.
@MishaalRahman well it's bit like chicken egg dilemma. As we do not have a stock system image for e.g. SHT-W09 we cannot patch the ramdisk.img and so we cannot get the stock system image ...
Thanks Apo11on, great to have root so soon for the M5! Do you know if there's a way to get Xposed working? I tried the Xposed Framework SDK 26 from inside Magisk, but it put me in a boot loop.
Question is, for those of us with the Non Pro version, can this still be done.
@OHP Yes. The OP did it with the 8.4" version which has no pro option.
I'm looking to buy the Chinese 10" wifi version myself but need Google Play Store + Services on it which I'm guessing the Chinese version doesn't have. Is one of the firmwares at the website you link to a global version of the firmware that will work on this model?

Doesn't matter what version you have as long as you have access to your device firmware and the ramdisk.img. You really need to reread the guide.

my Firmware on device:
CMR-W09C432123 (8.0.0.123)

I have exactly the same tablet/firmware as you and it was fine. The additional letter also threw me a little. But if you are unsure, download Huawei Firmware Finder from Google play and it will automatically detect your tablets firmware (which you can download if you wish).

struggling with this part
2. Transfer this patched ramdisk image to your device
Note for users with version of M5 other than SHT-AL09: Do NOT use the above ramdisk image. Download the full stock rom (update.zip) from the site I linked in the credits. Extract UPDATE.APP file from the zip. Then use HuaweiUpdateExtractor to extract ramdisk.img specific to your device. If you get errors in HuaweiUpdateExtractor - uncheck first 2 checkboxes for checksum verification on Settings tab and try again
I have a CMR-W09 :s i can got the files downloaded and the huwai software not sure how i make a img
The good news is I followed these instructions yesterday and they worked perfectly (SHT-AL09).
The bad news is, I seem to have lost root overnight.
---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------
And I figured out why I lost root; I was playing around with Developer options and switched the default GPU renderer from 'default' to 'Skia.' Apparently, this disables root access until you switch back. I regained root access on a reboot, lost it again after switching back to Skia, and then regained it after switching back to default.
I got the right image file from the site and huwai extract. I have googled how to use this app but what files do I extract as there appears to be. Alot ? I extracted all of them ? I don't have a ramdisk.img
Also thanks for writting this up. Without it I would be lost
Thanks for the efforts making this thread. Unfortunately my device is SHT-W09 and I'm still waiting for the right firmware. Is there anything I can help, considering I have the device?
@dkk6 I am in the same boat as you. Unfortunately I installed the update to 8.0.0 123 without having the Firmware Finder installed on the device. Do you have installed already the update to 8.0.0 123?
If not, you could install Firmware Finder and provide us with the ota url ...
This works perfectly no issues. i had some how maanged to download the wrong rom first. AND thankfully it did not have a ramdisk in. it is important that your firmware matches the firmware present on the site as explained. This was easy guide to follow now to flash it with somthing other then andriod

I'm on 8.0.0.101
Hello,
I get a notification that I can update my P20 Pro from .131 version to .152 version.
The update has around 700MB, the problem is that when my update gets downloaded and when I reboot the device it reboots the device in to a TWRP where I get an error 9 with an information that the update has failed to install.
What can I do?
Should I remove TWRP, would that help?
I really want that update since I have very bad SOT (4 hours of SOT max )
Thank you all in advance
Hi,
We can't do it if you have TWRP. You must use HuRUpdater.
I did it on my P20.
You can use Huawei Firmware Finder APK on play store to download the packages.
(I will do it with 8.1.0.164 )
How to use:
Warning: Make sure you know what you are doing and do not flash firmware from other devices.
Download firmware files (for official firmware use Huawei Firmware Finder).
Put files you want to flash in a seperate folder on sdcard.
Supported zip files to flash are (name must match):
update.zip (use FullOTA file)
update_all_hw.zip
update_data_public.zip
Optional: Put recovery.img in same folder if you want to keep custom recovery.

1st, if you have any magisk modules or mods installed, disable them and reboot.
2nd. You can download the update via system updates, it will say root is detected and will download the full OTA. Download and install (note it wil install automatically).
3. Install finished, it will ask to reboot. DO NOT reboot.
4 Open magisk and press the first 'Install' option and select " install on inactive slot, After OTA"
Done.
At that point your phone is rooted. There are several ways to download the updates, like in xda forums, Oneplus website, Oxygen updater app and System updates (the one on step 2 ) etc... if you want to keep a copy of the update zip file. You can grab it from the .ota. Folder in the internal storage using a file manager while the update is installing and copy it to another location.
