Do you use complete stock firmware? Do you have any mod, rom, kernel, TWRP installed?

Completely stock. Nougat 7.0.
This, if you haven't found it yet:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/kernel-stock-kernel-root-color-control-t3218958
Or wait for a new version of this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...-fed-patcher-v8-forceencrypt-disable-t3234422
Finally:
Install a custom kernel...
All of the above include that you backup your datas and format them once the proper kernel gets flashed, but I guess you know that?!
Hoping this is what you are looking for?!
Thanks for all that.
None of them appear to turn off encryption though.
Encryption isn't magically turned off once you install a kernel that doesn't force encrypt...
Once installed, you have to issue these command in fastboot:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
Backup first...

QA1 Update Package

Ok, so I have the QA1 package from AT&T, how to I turn it into something that Odin can use?

Is it the OTA update or the actual full firmware?
IF its just the OTA package, we can still use that, all we have to do is flash the preceding firmware with ODIN and then use recovery to flash the OTA zip.
Upon closer inspection, it's just the update package. I can upload it somewhere, but probably not necessary. Downloaded from here with a tip from another thread:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe" --user-agent="SAMSUNG-Android" --no-check-certificate "https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42925/1488/SS-G900AUCS4DPH4-to-U4DQA1-UP"
How do I make this into a zip that can update via recovery?
edit: this is probably faster than downloading via Samsung: https://goo.gl/jGt7TO

Literally all you have to do is put ".zip" at the end of the filename. Its just a zip file without the extension.
Sweet! Thanks for the tip.

Well since you put it that way - will this wipe my data?

It shouldn't... then again I had one OTA flash that half-flashed and then wiped everything so its a good idea to back up your important stuff
Bummer...wiped. Not a huge deal as I had a backup, but to anyone else following: this wipes everything.
Added QA1 - QB1 update here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...les-tested-update-to-marshmallow-ph2-t3450223
This WILL wipe your data when you flash this using recovery.

HELP: Upgrading to EMUI5 on NEM-L21 with TWRP and Xposed

I read here, somewhere, that you need stock recovery to do the update. Since I have flashed another recovery (and rooted and installed Xposed), I'm not sure if I can update to EMUI5.
Furthermore, I'm not even sure how to do the update. The update (b351) is available in FF and checks out as "compatible", but I don't know what the install procedure is. Especially without stock recovery.
Any help or info is much appreciated
yeah, you should flash stock recovery thru ADB and thn try updating...
Not adb but fastboot

You will also need to reflash the stock boot.img, since you're rooted.

Thanks a lot. Any help, perhaps, on where I get that. And the recovery mentioned above?
Oh, and why is it not possible to flash the ROM like if it was a custom one? Just wondering

That you may need to find your own. Well in custom ROMs, they are designed to work with custom recoveries like TWRP. While in stock, the whole system is inside update.app, which can't be read by a custom recovery.

I just got home from work and I'm getting the same error. Google cache can pull the site up, but I still can't download the file. Maybe too much traffic? Hopefully someone who downloaded it can post a mirror.
EDIT: It's downloading for me now.
EDIT 2: Downloaded it and uploaded to my Google Drive. Here's a link for anyone having trouble:

This file is working because the others give an error in the installation.

No idea, haven't installed it myself, it's still pretty early on, I'm in no rush and am OK waiting for it to become more stable personally. Just trying to help those who wanted it.
update link
I can not install this with the same error !!
There are just boot.img and system.img in lineage.zip.
You cannot install it by twrp.
fastboot?

does our twrp not have the ability to flash .img files?
I would steer clear of this rom for now until we have a *fully* working TWRP. Currently flashing an A/B OTA will break things, not to mention you probably don't have firmware on your other slot, so you're risking potentially bricking your device.
Trust me, I'm the one who got Lineage running on this thing. Wait for a bit, there will be a thread with more information soonish.
Thread closed. OP please PM me once things (TWRP, workaround) are fixed.

Best/Easiest way to update rooted P20 Pro?

There's been several updates I have been unable to install as I am rooted. Is there an easy way to apply updates? Can you unroot, apply updates, then re-root for example? I'm confused about what might be the way. I've seen the debrand thread. But you would still be rooted and therefore unable to apply future updates?
Any advise appreciated

Hurupdater is the simplest solution and I've never had any issues at all.
Did you rename the files correctly?
Did you download the correct files?
Did you put unofficial TWRP .IMG in same directory as the other files and renamed it?
So in total you should have 5 files in one directory. Then just flash hurupdater .zip file in TWRP. That's it.

What can be easier then flashing one file then simply installing an actual official update?
Hu isn't hard I agree but it's certainly not easier then flashing one file.

Yea just flash no check recovery and it'll overlook the twrp recovery when you install the OTA update is system update.
Obviously has to be an official update but that's all the tinkering that's required.
No check is in the files listed in my guide from my Sig.
Funky huawei by far.
