EDIT: Hey guys, so since the previous post I have tried numerous things - most notably manually flashing the system, boot and recovery images directly with fastboot. While I was able to do this (using B361 and currently B320) the phone got stuck in a bootloop even though the official recovery successfully did a factory reset and cache wipe. I am fairly certain that if I can get the rollback image to flash I will be able to revert back to stock - but currently this is proving to be difficult. Flashing the rollback image directly with dload fails and I'm currently considering flashing the image through fastboot. Checking the image on firmware extractor tool shows the following:
CRC
CURVER
EFI
RECOVERY
RECOVERY2
VERLIST
VERSION
What extracted image will I be able to flash through fastboot? Thanks for any help in advance
Hey guys,
Firstly I have read through and tried all the usual methods of trying to get back to stock (MM or Nougat) after upgrading to B361. I am currently unable to flash any images through the dload method (not rollback, not nougat, anything). What I've tried flashing (all failed):
L19C185B361 (full)
L19C185B220 (full)
L19C185B210 (full)
L19C185B320 (OTA)
Official rollback image
This is the path I followed:
L19C185B210
MM LOS
L19C185B220
L19C185B320
L19C185B361
(Tried to reflash L19C185B361, failed)
Rollback, failed
TWRP L19C185B220, messed up system partition
Rollback still failed
L19C185B220 still failed
L19C185B361 still failed
Currently running a TWRP flash of L19C185B321, a beta leak image that doesn't work properly
The TWRP running is the Nougat TWRP (MM TWRP not working) leading me to be believe that there is still an official Nougat presence somewhere on the system. I hace an unlocked bootloader, fastboot and adb access but no root. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I've been struggling for over 10 hours now.
Bump - changed the thread question in the hope of getting help
So I installed a version of the P9 OS EVAL09 from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/bluewei-test-crossflash-to-l09-c432-t3608270 the B387 version.
Prior to this, I was running unofficial CM 13 with TWRP installed, and it worked mostly fine.
The B387 .zip had a .update log which I was supposed to install via SDcard upgrade or something like that, however instead I removed a few lines from the update binary and installed via TWRP (in hindsight, probably what caused this problem).
Since then, I have launched into the new ROM with the purpose of updating, then moving to the unofficial Lineage OS.
However, I have encountered the biggest problem which is that, when I tried to reaccess TWRP it would automatically redirect to Huawei eRecovery, which does not allow me to reset/upgrade (as it says package info isn't correct).
I then tried to redo the process of flashing TWRP via ADB fastboot, and then it says that writing recovery has failed.
I can't download the stock ROM from huawei hicloud from the thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-stock-rom-eva-l19c636b168-t3419586 - as it always says the website is unavailable.
So far, the current OS installed is unusable, and I do not have any custom recovery software. If I can get TWRP to work again, then I should be ok as I made backups before.
edit 2018-01-18: The fix is to make the dload folder in the sd card and hard flash the ROM, which will get me back to a working stable version.
First- I am NOT Responsible if you brick your Device! You do everything at your own Risk!
As I cannot find successfull thread here guiding to root this tablet I am posting the success with rooting with Magisk, all is seen on Russian forum 4pda,but the firmware I am on is not here ,it was little hard to find it(paid) but at the end it works, I have full root:
1 .You must have UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!!! You can do it here are 2 threads guiding to it,mine was with DC_unlocker-4USD;
2. You must download Magisk from its original thread :Link
3.You must Look at which firmware you are,download the patched ones :С170B003
С170B253
C100B270
Or you can download you full Rom, extract it using Huawei Firmware Extractor extract the BOOT.img from UPDATE.APP file transfer it to your tablet and using Magisk--> install choose boot.img and patch it, then copy the patched_boot.img from folder "Downloads" in the internal memory back to PC,rename to boot.img.
4.You must have installed ADB and fastboot.
5.Using fastboot command on PC install the patched boot.img to tablet:
-First on your tablet enable Developer Options, thick Enable OEM Unlock,thick USB Debugging on,when connected to PC must ask for Fingerprint Security Rsa key,thick Always Trust to this PC"
-Second Tunoff Tablet, then hold volume Down button and connect to PC with USB Cable,Fastboot menu must appear: With green at bottom must be written that it is not FRP locked! If so -dont do proceed disable remove Huawei Account if you have one!
-Third-copy patched boot.img to folder where is located ADB and fastboot, then hold shift and right click mouse button and click Open Command Prompt here.
Now on fastboot menu enter following:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
At the end everything must be OK!
Reboot with power button and check in Magisk !
Regards
I just wanted to confirm that this method works for my tablet. My Huawei Mediapad M3 10.1" BAH-L09 had bootloader unlocked. Emui5.1.2 and OS 7.0. Following these instructions, I extracted the BOOT.img from the stock ROM, then used Magisk Manager app (6.0.1) to create the patched-boot.img. Flashing this patched-boot.img using fastboot mode with command:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
My tablet now is ROOTED without any problems (camera works normally). In short, just follow exactly these instructions and your tablet will be ROOTED
This works for me on BAH-L09 with Build Number BAH-L09C100B270. My Tab ist now rooted with Magisk 17.1 installed. Next i do flash special version of TWRP from the TWRP Builder site. I took the version for the BAH-W09 (WIFI version of the tab) on my own risk. I KNOW thats not the correct version, so please dont criticize.
Installation via fastboot worked. I can boot into Huawei recovery (Power+Vol-up) and TWRP (Power + Vol-Up and Vol-down same time). System boots without problem too. Also i can flash back the original huawei rcovery.img in fastboot mode.
But there is an issue in this TWRP recovery version 3.2.1-0. It does not decrypt data. I tried to format data and flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt". But there is still an Huawei secure mechanism, that wants me to format data in Huawei recovery again. Without format data my tab do not boot into system.
Next step i tried to get TWRP for my device on TWRP-builder app. but no succes because the build queue ist full. So i have to wait...
Sorry but how did you unlock the bootloader?

My M3 10 lite was on latest frmware C100B270 as i used dc-unlocker. Unlock worked well for me.
Does rooting enable you to install Google Services on the tablet? Is so, how?
Is there an international ROM that can be used (with Google tools)
Thanks! Worked for my Mediapad M3 lite 10 (BAH-L09), but now... How can I update Magisk? The Magisk manager doesn't support the version installed.
Can't install twrp either

This is an old post. Development has going forward. Look here:
For a LineageOS rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/rom-t3945684
For TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-t3914531
For the first step use the 3.2.0 version of TWRP if you are in Huawei's stock Rom.
For me its the best for this moment. Only issue is, that camera dont work in this early lineage rom. But developer is working on it.

Ok, thank you so much. I've got installed Twrp properly, and it boots ok... but no more. Now it stays on the recovery home screen. I'll try again
Hi,
I am trying to install on my device the TWRP image but it doesn't work.
What I've tried so far:
A tons of twrp images
SRK Tool
injecting image to recovery
injecting img to recovery2
injexting image to recovery_ramdisk
Nothing works still. The error im getting is "partition length get error"
Im running EMUI 9.0.1 and Android 9 Build Version 9.0.1.175(C432E2R1P5). Any ideas how to get TWRP work on my device?
You are running a HONOR 9 and you wanna help to install TWRP on a P9 thread... maybe you try to install the wrong version.
HI there,
I'm having a hard time to root my p 20 pro running an OpenKirin custom rom and would be grateful for some help.
Some information, about my phone and the build:
P 20 Pro CLT-L09 (C432)
Build number: OpenKirin-AntiEng PD20144.A1 (it is based on AOSPExtended)
Now, my problem is that I can't find a bootimage or a recovery.img for emui 9.0 anywhere on the internet. I apparently need this file to patch it and then install the patched file in fastbootboot mode. But all the links that still exist on various sites aren't working anymore. If someone still has the file I need or knows how to get it, that would be very nice.
Thanks in advance.
Also: The phone has no ramdisk, installing through twrp should not and did not work.
Edit: I figured it out by myself. OpenKirin sugests not to install twrp, and to root by patching the recovery.img of the stock firmware. Now, I did install Twrp and was unable to just install Magisk from there due to no ramdisk on the device. But since I had twrp installed as recovery I could just patch the twrp image and install it with fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched.img.
