[CLT-AL00] 8.1.0.176(C00) TWRP, ROOT, OTA UPDATES failed - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi all, I decided to create this thread because of a little annoying problem.
1) I followed instructions in the ""[GUIDE] Getting started - Unlock->TWRP->root->OTA updates]"" to install TWRP and ROOT my P20 pro.
Everything was OK until this point.
2) My phone found an update in the OTA checking. It can't be installed because of TWRP so I decided to overwrite the TWRP in the recovery_ramdisk with a recovery_nocheck.img
So then, the update was correctly downloaded, the phone reboots normally, I got a screen with an EMUI installing update successfully but the phone found again and again the same update. I got no error about some updates not installed.
Of course if i don't change TWRP, i got an error message in system that an update was not installed.
Something strange, even if i remove TWRP and replace with emui recovery_nocheck, i am still rooted.
I found the update.zip in root folder \data\update. It can be installed manually with no error in TWRP directly or with HRUpdate but all of these don't change the fact that my phone always found the same update in OTA checking. I even desactivate in root (i found this somewhere that you have to rename the file hwouc.apk) the OTA checking but it doesn't work
Any help please. I don't like the red mark notification in settings.
Thanks

4.4 Update doesn't want to install

Hello guys.
First of all, my friend is having HTC One bought in Ireland but the phone have HTC One GPe firmware flashed by him self.
Everything was working perfectly well till now when I cannot install 4.4 update. It did come up via OTA but he also tried installing it manually via TWRP.
When he tried doing it manually, the TWRP have error. I thought this might be error in package during downloading (Yes, happend few times with packages for Sony phone's) but even redownloading the file have same result.
You can see the error in screenshot.

After failing updating via TWRP he waited for OTA. It come up today evening (27/11/2013) and everything would be fine but it also failed to install.
After OTA update downloaded the phone extract the system and then turn off and turn on entering recovery and nothing happened, He also couldn't turn on the phone.
He did even factory reset and now One doesn't show any update.
Do you have any idea how he can install it ? He's rooted, bootloader unlocked and he's on GPe 4.3 firmware.
Re-run 4.3 GPE RUU from Dev thread and wait for OTA, if you are S-OFF
that particular update you used must be flashed with the stock bootloader. get s-off with rumrunner (worked best for me) and flash back to stock, or any 4.4 rom of your choice

Problems install Hashcodes new 10.2 4.3.1 update to KF HD

Ok I attempted to flash the new Rom to his latest update. Would not boot up, pretty much stayed at the Cmod screen. Good news for me i had a older 4.2.2 rom on the unit still and was able to revert back to that.
I noticed that he said I should update TWRP. How in the world do I do that?
I have installed the file, but I can not figure out how to actually update to the latest TWRP. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Flash the twrp file like if it was a rom and then reboot, thats it

Download the most recent TWRP from Hascodes thread as he modifies them so they work on our Kindle Fire HD's. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 Then use your FireFlash app and flash TWRP in the recover.img just like the first time only don't tick or check any other boxes. It's easy as 1,2,3.

System(MM) update problem.

On 5.1.1 build LMY48T
When I received this phone on 16Nov I tried to let do the update to MM. It would D/L but fail in updating. (Just reboot after each try) I went ahead with 5.1.1 in unlocking and rooting with no problem. tried to allow it to update date again as it has been requesting and it now justs boots into TWRP. I wish to upgrade to MM but am stymied. Need Guru assistance.
First time around it might have been a corrupt download. Now it's because you're rooted and have TWRP installed. To be able to update through OTA your system needs to be fully stock.
To update now you need to flash a factory image (plenty of guides if you search). I recommend using fastboot, but you could also use a toolkit (Nexus Root Toolkit). If you don't want to wipe your phone, leave out the userdata image when flashing (or the "no wipe"-mode in NRT).
I did search but I have to admit I got alittle confused as there seemed to be different factory versions available. I did do updates to my Note 2 until they sneakily locked the bootloader on me (verizon Bastages) I will look at the guides more throughly now to educate myself better. Thank for the guidance.
Which one?

Either of them will work, bu to save you time, get the latest (MRA58R) because it's just going to prompt you to install those.
Following the advice my N6 is rocking MM and rooted. Thanks to all.
Awesome! Glad you got it working!

Having problems updating to latest MIUI 9 weekly

I'm currently using the weekly-updated MIUI 9 developer rom from en.miui, though I haven't updated it for months, and I'm still on 7.10.6 as shown in the settings page.
I've tried to update to the latest weekly which is miui_MIMAX2Global_8.2.8_45df73749c_7.1.zip, though I keep failing.
The following are things I tried:
1. Directly flashing the zip through TWRP
2. Wiping first then flashing the zip
Though both ways get my phone stuck at boot where it shows the "M" of MIUI and "Unlocked" at the bottom.
Can anyone kindly point out my mistakes? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question or if I'm doing something dumb
have u tried updating the zip via the integrated system updater in rom settings?

Yes, though it also doesn't seem to be working. Here's a screenshot of what is shown after clicking "choose update package".

hm...did you clean up system apps and accidentally deleted the app used to pick an update package?
another option would be to flash via fastboot, but ull need the fastboot specific rom package for that. also available on miui rom website.

Magisk 23 on Cepheus

Hello guys,
Could someone help me with Magisk 23 (latest version) and my MI 9.
I have a rooted MI 9 with PixelExperience on it, and despite the tons of tutos about installing magisk... i can make this version work.
I'm following the "No RamDisk, No A/B" path, so patching the Recovery, but can't succeed.

If i flash the recovery : i get this
And if i try to patch it throught TWRP (despite this path being not recommanded) : it goes fine, but Magisk isn't detected once the phone booted.
Am i doing something wrong ?
Thanks
Try patching the boot image instead. Xiaomi are notorious for having a weird setup where there's no ramdisk, but the bootloader accepts the added initramfs in the boot image anyway. Details in the last paragraph here:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/boot.html#piecing-things-together
Hey,
I've tried : the installation works fine
But once booted : i get the message in the app the Magisk "Not Available"
I've tried to boot directly from the patched image : phone boots, but again. i get the "not available" status in the magisk app
Ok, "solved"
If someone get the issue : i followed what's written in there https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/4394
Rolled back to 21.4, then god access to "direct upgrade" option, and now it's fine
After I tried everything to successfully root & TWRP my Mi 9 Cepheus, here's my GUIDE on how I FINALLY got it to work. This could very well work for you, too. You just have to follow this to the letter.
