Then use this to root and Magisk

Here you go, simple install

It has been pull out officially due to bugs.

The tool recommended is working okay and I am grateful for the work, but you cannot lock the bootloader without issues after using it. Therefore I agree with the recommendation of @RAJEEV And would also highly recommend to use either the MiFlash tool or one of the by Xiaomi provided scripts for flashing.

the OTA is pulled yes, but full rom to flash with MiFlash is sitll available

OpenKirin site now launched

So it looks like the OpenKirin site is finally here and they have their Lineage based ROMs available for download.
Now it does say the 970 is a supported chipset, but it doesn't list the P20/Pro as a device.
From what I can see it looks like EMUI camera and gallery are fully supported.
I'm not rooted etc. but does anyone know who's working on this project or if it can be tested on our device at all?
Would be keen to see a nice working Lineage ROM with full support of the EMUI camera.
Here's the site: OpenKirin.net

Is this a full ROM or treble?
More ROMs can only be good, thanks for the share.
This phone definitely had something special about it

It seems that it's treble via fastboot only. We have to w8 and see for confirmation, I guess.

1 - YNWA
2 - what would be the advantage of the Treble releases? My dream would be that its more like stock but ..

YNWA
Treble is just a system image, probably won't completely work for every device, probably won't ever be fixed for every device.
Whereas a full ROM, usually only has to be fixed / tweaked once.[
When you install a ROM you flash most of the device and it's generally in a zip format, whereas a treble ROM is an IMG and you flash it only to the system partition leaving everything else intact.

@MrDanMak
You do know that we have lineage in the ROM section right? And that the camera had been ported and its working?
P20 camera.

YNWA indeed! Nice to see fellow redmen in here.
Yeah I know there is a Lineage ROM, but I was under the impression the camera isn't fully working right? It still has the gallery issue doesn't it?

If you read the FAQs you will see that they mention you shouldn't flash the current downloads on the P20/Pro. They will provide builds for this phone at a later date.

Yea that's true but at the same time, the fact that the p20 camera app actually starts is great news.
I'm sure the gallery app can be used, haven't looked into it myself but it should be fixable.

Hi mate I am using a UK c782 any custom rom you would recommend?

So there's very few custom ROM's here for the Pro, there's one called Romaur and a Lineage ROM, haven't flashed either.
All i did was unlock bootloader, install TWRP and Root, then i've tweaked the OS so that it's faster and more stable.
Themed it and for me that's enough.
I did debrand though so you may want to look at that first, the c432 device is the EU one i think or whats predominantly used in EU countries, mine was the c782 L09 which is the single sim variant from EE.
Changing over to c432 has allowed me to get the latest updates like 120 - 128 and i think at some point b131 will drop.
The c782 afaik is still on 110 which is a bit crap.
Check the guide here to debrand: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76785704&postcount=152 if it's something you want to do.
Guide to install OTA updates when you have TWRP installed and are rooted etc: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76844754&postcount=254
Hopefully there will be more ROM's but at the moment it's extremely quiet.
Treble is a bit of an issue for us i think because the installation method requires the use of TWRP to wipe and i've read somewhere that it can't wipe correctly so it fails when you flash a treble IMG.
There's a few great guides to install treble in one of the threads over in the project treble section, take a look.
I'll get around to installing treble img's at some point but can't today.

If you bought you're device in the UK it's highly likely it's branded (even if there's no visual indications that it is) to a mobile network. Mine was bought via Mobiles.co.uk on 02 network and I assumed it was completely unbranded as there was no bloatware or 02 branding but apparently any updates from Huawei need to go though 02's checks before being pushed out and so updates are slooooowwww. debranding is essentially removing any ties to a network thus you get the Huawei updates as soon as they push them out.

Is the phone treble enabled?

Hello Everyone!
I'm currently trying to decide whether to get the Honor Note 10, or the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. While the former clearly shows strength in terms of processing power, design etc., the later one has a major advantage in software due to it having treble support.
Hence, if I may ask to those of you who already have the phone, is the device treble enabled? I currently have my OnePlus 5 running Android Pie because of treble, and I would like to have my secondary phone be as flexible as well! I am highly aware that the bootloader unlock requires a paid service, but a few dollars for having barebones AOSP roms would be something I look forward to.
Thank you in advance to those who'll answer!

Yeah! So that it may be possible to flash GSI roms

Hi,
As Huawei doesn't allow to unlock the bootloader, you won't be able to install any GSI to it...
Some people report to have managed to unlock it with a paid option and to install TWRP.
But I am almost certain that even if they did and assuming a GSI will install and boot, you'll end up with a crippled device with features missing or not working...
I'd like to see that also but I think for now I'll stick to stock to no get stuck ,?

Well, maybe we could find workarounds for it... But I do understand your point with having incompatible roms.. I have bricked a device before because of it. But I hope someone knowledgable could look into this, especially those who work on the Honor 10 and Honor View 10 . Anyways, I guess I'll just try by myself, got my unit just today :fingers-crossed:

Is Note 10 a A only device?

Is there any way to install Custom ROMS after updating to EMUI9?

Hi everyone,
I got my p20 at release so I have the unlocked bootloader
After a few months of getting along with EMUI, the newest version (EMUI9) is just pissing me off with bugs and terrible performance.
I tried installing TWRP but it doesent work (cant touch any of the UI in twrp.)
In the Forum i read it has to do with EMUI9, so my question is:
Is there any way to get TWRP to work and install roms or do i have to wait for an TWRP update?

Just downgrade to emui 8, you have to do it through PC app. Just search for updates and there should be line to downgrade.

I know this reply is a bit late but anyway,
Openkirin released a build of Resurrection Remix 7.0.1 for EMUI 9 devices this week, and it looks like the P20 is on the supported list. GApps and stock Huawei camera are preinstalled. It might be your best bet for compatibility.
I was going to try it out myself but I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet (but have the code) and to be honest EMUI 9 is good enough for me as a daily driver, I can't find a good enough reason to flash.
EDIT 21/04/19: Unlocked my bootloader and installed RR 7 and touchscreen doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Same thing with Omnirom. Going back to stock for now. Devs on the Telegram support said to wait for the next build.

Yeah, but following this forum I have noticed that many users encounter problems like not working fingerprint scanner or hotspot on treble based ROMs.
Or maybe you can point on on some Android Oreo ROM working properly on P20? (Want Oreo because of Xposed, not sure if it is already ported to Pie)
Apearently software-wise Huawei is still as bad as it was 5 years ago (still remember and hate my Huawei G6), because when bought this phone (P20) hoped that at least it supports treble... sadly - just partially

Me too haha.
You could try it yourself if you really wanted to, it seems to be a hit or miss whether people have this bug or not. A dev told me a few other P10s have the problem while his own P10 works fine. I haven't seen many P20 users though.

Realme 5 Pro - VOLTE ?

hello, I have noticed in youtube videos that the indian model uses volte. With my Eu model (firmware A09) I don't find this setting. Although I use an original O2 card and in my other mobile phone it goes without problems.
Is there a keyboard code to activate?
Some informations about Wifi-Calling?
Thx

I've easily solved volte issues with a small hack but it needs unlocked bootloader and twrp.

No Root, possible for Eu/ India Rom user, unfortunally.
Support said it works but not for me.
Checked with A11 and new A13 Firmware.
dear people, tell me, who owns the eu model and who has the Volte? and with which provider?
thx
