Just got Pixel 3... got some rooting questions... - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

Just got Google version P3 and it's on November Android 10. Unlocked bootloader, but seemingly no can do on TWRP? If yes, how? If no, can I downgrade to 9.0? Pros and cons?
Thanks in advance!

You can root on Android 10, just not with twrp as it doesn't work on 10. You'll need to patch a boot.img with magisk on your device and then flash that with fastboot from your pc. There are guides for this.

Thanks for that! I just downgraded to 9.0 and rooted while I was waiting, but any real good reasons to use 10?

Hello and Welcome to XDA-developers!
If you have your device rooted and unlocked you only need to flash a custom nougat based ROM to upgrade your device. As you can see HERE there are no nougat builds available yet so I suggest you follow this threads until someone release it

Hello. I prefer using magisk over SU. And I just wrote up a guide a few days back on how to do that (as long as your running Android Oreo/EMUI 8.

That's tough to answer.....it's all a manner of opinion really. I had slightly better SOT though in emui 5 (since its running Android Nougat) where as emui 8 us Android Oreo. Truthfully I flashed an AOSP ROM after I upgraded to emui 8 because once you go to emui 8 / Android Oreo, it enables treble support. I'm not a big fan of emui in the first place though. However, the AOSP ROM's are newer so they are still wip when it comes to working 100% for the huawei mate 9.
May I ask what custom ROM you are using? And how do you find it? What's your SOT?

Download firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (if available) and unpack update.app from update.zip
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor and extract ramdisk.img, this is the boot image file that magisk manager needs to patch.

I'm currently using fRomFuture, and truthfully i was gonna get oreo the install RR (assuming it can work with my model). My screen on time is around 4-5 hours. If you're willing id appreciate some help on the process cause installing roms and stuff on huawei is not my strong point

Okay... Sorry for the delay.
You'll obviously have to go back to stock first. And then hisuite should work to upgrade to Oreo. Just trying to think what the best way to return to stock would be for your model version and get you upgraded to Oreo.
i see this requires Microsoft Windows. i only have Linux. any suggestions?

Too late... unless you've got a bootloader unlock code before July 24. Did you? I'll guess not, hence...no root for you, enjoy GPU Turbo and Pie (whenever that comes).

You can downgrade or install another rom, but first you need to unlock the bootloader.

OP7Pro (EU) is up-to-date on Android 11

Hi all!
My wife uses a OP7Pro (EU) from what I've read it should've gotten a stable A12 release few months ago. With the news that the last update for the phone was released earlier, she still get's the message her device is up-to-date when looking for firmware updates trough settigns. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi, is the phone rooted?
Hi, it isn't rooted and bootloader is not unlocked. However through Oxygen Updater and then local upgrade method it has now installed A12.
