Thanks for Revert
But I didn't find any link who provide downgrade firmware, can you please share here so everyone takes benefits
And one more - if I unlock bootloader and root than is it possible to relock after stock Rom flash ?, because I had Sony Cell and not possible in sony after unlock to relock, also once unlock never get Sony Software Support too.
Here is an image to downgrade from WW-17.1810.1910.63 (Android Q) to target Image Version: WW-16.1220.1909.194. While it says ' from WW-17.1810.1910.63', it should work for all Android Q (10) builds currently available.

You can relock the bootloader. The command is "fastboot oem asus-back" without the quotes).
Not sure how ASUS would know whether the bootloader was ever unlocked, but if they can then warranty may still be void.

This is very simple why Asus can know about it because you have to use their tool to unlock the bootloader.

I wonder if this can be considered the unofficial method to avoid letting Asus know completely
Let me break my phone and see what Asus says when I RMA it..... ?
(just kidding - I can't afford to go without a phone).
Edit - for what it's worth Asus' support site still says my device is under warranty, though it may not reflect whether bootloader has been unlocked.

Finally, Succesfully downgrade Android 10 to 9 - No any Special tools required for this, just download a 1.9 GB file and put it on SD Card Root directory, Asus Automatically Extract File and Install without entering Download Mode(Power Button+Volume Down)

Oh Great Devhux - so now do you have a warranty available? and can you access Asus Software support which they mentioned on their website?
Please share - If warranty Void not much problem but can you get the same output on Sound, Screen, and Software Support after unlocked bootloader?

Right now I've relocked my bootloader and still seems I have warranty support. Not sure what all I can check as I've already gone through the warranty status page where I entered my serial number.

have you received any OTA after unlocked bootloader? if yes and successfully install than it works fine, and you can check the sound quality, by using headphone, because in Sony Cells Sound Quality and Screen Quality little down after bootloader unlocked
You probably won't receive OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader, but relocking it you'd be fine. As for sound & screen quality I didn't notice a difference.
That said, I might get the mods to move these last few posts into their own thread as they aren't related to downgrading from Android Q.
so anyone tries to use that semi unofficial method and get ota and successfully update ?

Hi!

Does this mean that I can't use ANY official ASUS updates, even if I want to run the update manually? Or does this just refer to OTA updates? I really want to put Jellybean on here when they release it, so I probably won't unlock the bootloader if I can't update to it manually.
Also, does unlocking the bootloader also run a factory reset and wipe the device?

You'll be flashing ROMs, not getting ASUS's updates. A rom for the latest firmware usually takes less than a week to get on the dev section of the forum.

Only refers to OTA, as far as we currently know -- the bootloader unlock hasn't been available long enough to prove otherwise.

Nope, it only reboots. It will leave your user data intact when performed correctly. Obviously, when the crap goes into the ventilator, global nuclear war might ensue or your cat may just die (if you don't have one, you will receive one from a local asylum a few days before, that's enough emotional attachment to make it hurt).

I recently got a tf300t which came already with 10.4.2.17 JB firmware.
At the moment I'm not plannig to install custom ROMs basically because I understand that I should unlock the bootloader and lose the warranty doing so.
The device is notifying that an update (the .18 firmware, I guess) is available, but before upgrading I want to be sure that in the future I will able to unlock the bootloader and then install custom ROMs.
Can someone please reassure me about it?
I'm sorry if this sounds as a dumb question, but I'm pretty new to this tablet and in the past I lost the ability to gain root access for another device beacuse of an OTA update.

If you're already on 10.4.2.17, upgrading to 10.4.2.18 won't affect your ability to unlock. Some people (like myself) are unable to unlock for unknown reasons, but upgrading from .17 to .18 shouldn't make a difference(10.4.2.18 doesn't really change much). If you're able to unlock, you should be able to do it on either .17 or .18. If you're unable to unlock, you then wouldn't have been able to do it on either version.

Thank you for your answer.
This inability to unlock somewhat scares me.
Is this connected in someway to the production date of the device (which maybe could retrieved from the serial number)?

I'm not sure, I know I and several others have been unable to unlock. There are various theories as to why (ASUS unlock server problems, serial number not in their database, certain serial numbers don't work, etc...). Worst case scenario is that when you try to unlock, it gives you the error "Unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue. please wait and try again later" and nothing happens. Personally, I'm pretty sure my problem has to do with the fact that the serial number in settings is different from the one on the bottom of the tablet (the one on the sticker). Unfortunately for me, there is no way to change the internal serial number without being rooted, and no way to root on JB (for now) without being unlocked.

So, we already got TWRP & Root to work nicely on this device,
but what now ? what can we do with root to actually improve the device experience ?
Well, here's few list of my own modification, which you can apply to yours as well (Most mod using Magisk Module, so you might want to make sure Magisk Manager and Magisk were properly installed)
1. Improve performance by disabling swap memory - Using Swap Torpedo Module by @EarlyMon
Our phone has 6GB of RAM, and that's plenty by any standard. Which mean, using swap memory will only slow down the overall performance - as explained here - so let's disable it using Swap Torpedo Module.
How to install :
Open Magisk Manager
Search for "Swap Torpedo"
Install & Reboot
2. Faster & Secure Internet using WireGuard
WireGuard is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPSec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for many different circumstances. Initially released for the Linux kernel, it plans to be cross-platform and widely deployable. It is currently under heavy development, but already it might be regarded as the most secure, easiest to use, and simplest VPN solution in the industry.
Previously, WireGuard can only installed on device with supporting Kernel. But now it finally can be added to a ROM through the use of Magisk Module.
How to install :
Open Magisk Manager
Search for "Wireguard Installer"
Install & Reboot
Go to Play Store
Search for "WireGuard"
Install
Now go to www.azirevpn.com
Create new account
Go to Azire - WireGuard Config Generator
Choose your preference of Server's Country
Hit "Download"
Now open "WireGuard" app on your Android
Click the (+) icon on the bottom right
Choose "Create from File"
Pick the config file you downloaded above
Now enable it
Open browser and try to surf. You should now able to open site previously blocked, or something like that
You can also add WireGuard Button to your QS to easily turn WireGuard VPN ON and OFF
3. Ad-FREE and Backgrund Playback YouTube using - AdVanced YouTube Module by @Team Vanced
Vanced is a well known modded version of YouTube with many features such as adblocking and background playback.
How to install :
Open Magisk Manager
Search for "YouTube Vanced"
Install & Reboot
4. System Wide AdFREE - Using AdAway
How to install :
Go to https://adaway.org/
Download APK
Install & Enable
Reboot
any other good essential stuff you want to add ?
I did also install the following
Xposed

Full Package can be installed normally through recovery. You will need to re-root after that.

No, through eRecovery, by either installing the no check version, or by modifying DNS to team MT one. Read the instruction in Firmware Finder app
How I beat the OTA problem -
1. Save the OTA files by copying them before saying OK to the update. Picture attached for location, the number will be different for you.
2. On a pc, use 7zip to get the update.app out of the update.zip file - extract your RAMDISK and RECOVERY_RAMDISK (so you have a copy after TWRP for next time) - using the 995 version from -

Neither of these answers is correct. In the EU, rooting will not void your statutory warranty. I'm sure there's equivalent legislation in the US too. https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.en.html
Bootloader unlocking has nothing to do with rooting your phone. And even if it did, just lock it again before sending for any repair.

Yes, you can relock the bootloader. But for rooting withouth unlocking bootloader i dont know. I am aware there is backdor to do so on OnePlus phones, but Im not aware of something similar on Huawei (except maybe paid Funky Huawei service) And with unlocking bootloader you loose warranty, as it explicitly states in Huawei regulations.
Please, correct me if I am wrong. Did you find method for rooting P20 pro withouth booloader unlocking?

Doesn't matter one little bit what they state in the documentation. They cannot write anything in to the T&Cs that impacts on statutory rights. Anything beyond the statutory rights may be lost, sure, but they are required under EU legislation to ensure that the device will function as intended for at least two years. This is known as a statutory warranty. If they offer any extension to this then that's their prerogative, but to state that the warranty will be void due to rooting is wrong.

Correct. Most phones are like this. When you unlock the bootloader or root then the warranty is void. I'm sure though there will be a way to relock the bootloader soon.

In the EU you can unlock your phone without losing warranty. It's a EU rule that if the software makes it possible to unlock your phone {developer options} the warranty stays after unlocking.

They dont state that rooting will void warranty, but unlocking bootloader will. I just said I'm not aware of way to root P20pro without unlocking bootloader. But you re right about relocking it to stock, there will be ways to do it soon

Stock recovery for P20 pro is still not available, as it is rather new phone. But it will be, in a time

Stock recovery is available, I bricked my device after playing around with project treble ROMs - and tried to use FunkyHuawei's eRecovery method but it didn't work (I suspected because it required stock recovery to install the package). I downloaded a stock firmware and opened it up with the Huawei Extractor tool, pulled out the RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img and flashed it to my device - restoring stock recovery.
Hello dear friends.

Anyway to fix this problem? Thanks
Have you tried a different file browser? Some may not have updated with the newer requirement that you approve access to certain areas of storage.

I'm extracting the same firmware's payload.bin but causes bootload. I'm using latest software version can you help me to get root access?

I used same method but not working always causes bootloap, can you provide your patched boot.img? And which version are you using?
I didn't save the boot image, but it was CN-18.0840.2103.26
I'm probably not the best person to ask. I am currently testing custom kernels.
