[Firmware] EMUI 8.1 / 9.0 Flash, Root and Downgrade Guide (L29C432/L29C636)

How to FLASH EMUI 8.1 / 9.0 including latest single base versions (build 197+)
Your device must have the following
1. Bootloader should be unlocked (if you have not already unlocked bootloader, there are paid services available)
2. Enable USB debugging in Settings > Developer options > USB debugging
3. Remove Fingerprint ID, Face lock and Lock screen password. This is very very important otherwise your device will be soft bricked
Firmware Download:
You can download ROM version that you want (EMUI 8.1 / 9.0) from this LINK
If you do not see latest EMUI 9.0 firmwares, use the links below,
EMUI 9.0 Build 204
EMUI 9.0 build 236
EMUI 9.0 build 241
EMUI 9.0 build 243
EMUI 9.0 build 251
Do not try to update to build 241 straight from EMUI 8.0. It will brick your device and you will end up with black screen. Update to build 195 and then update to any later builds.
Files that you will be downloading are,
>> Upto build 195
update.zip
update_full_CLT-L29_hw_eu.zip
>> After build 197 or later
update_full_base.zip
Preparation:
a. Download this Flash tool and extract to your PC
b. Copy downloaded Firmware files to ZIPS-HERE folder (you can find this folder where you have extracted Flash tool
How to flash Firmware
1. Double click to run the file cmd-here.exe. It opens command prompt in the same folder where you are.
2. Once command prompt opens, type FLASH_two_files.bat if you have multiple Firmware files (2 files) or FLASH_full_base.bat if you have single base file from latest EMUI 9.0. Follow steps carefully. Once flashing is complete, it will boot normally.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS METHOD OF FLASHING DO NOT WIPE DATA and all the installed apps will be intact. But you will loose ROOT. You have root again.
How to ROOT EMUI 8.1 / EMUI 9.0
For EMUI 8.1:
1. Download this TWRP and flash it in fastboot mode
2. Download Magisk from this LINK
3. Flash in TWRP (using the command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk images/twrp.img). twrp.img is already in the Flash tool that you downloaded.
For EMUI 9.0: Thanks to @ArtaxXP for the findings and the post is here LINK
1. Pre-patch images you need for different version are below. You will be patching this file yourself with magisk canary version.
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_163.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_195.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_204.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_236.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_241.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_243.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_251.img
and copy this img to your device (these recovery_ramdisk file extracted from respective EMUI firmware UPDATE.APP)
2. Download and Install latest magisk manager
3. Open Magisk manager, go to settings > update channel > Custom and use the link below
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/release.json
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Go back to magisk manager default page and refresh (pull down). Install the latest magisk manager version when prompted. Now open magisk manager after installing the updated version and again pull down to refresh
5. Now you will be asked to download and flash the latest magisk version. Click on Install and when the next window comes choose "patch only the boot.img" option. Choose the image file that you have downloaded from the link in step 1 above
6. Wait until patching is complete. The patched image will be found in Download folder in your device. Copy this patched_boot.img to your PC in the same folder where you have extracted the Flash tool you used to flash the ROM
7. Reboot device to fastboot mode and flash patched_boot.img using
fastboot command ===> fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Now issue command fastboot reboot. Quickly unplug USB cable and hold vol-up button. Now your device will be booted in to rooted ROM
Careful Note:
If you reboot your device normally, it boots in to non-rooted ROM.
To boot to rooted ROM, hold vol-up button until Huawei Logo appears while booting.
IF YOU HAVE PATCHED WITH LATEST MAGISK CANARY BUILD 18.2+, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO HOLD VOL UP BUTTON WHEN REBOOTING. JUST POWER YOUR DEVICE NORMALLY AND IT BOOTS IN TO ROOTED ROM
How to DOWNGRADE from EMUI 9.0 to EMUI 8.1 for ROOTED EMUI
1. Remove fingerpring, disable screenlock & password and app lock in Settings / Security & privacy. If you miss this step your device will be soft bricked.
2. Download from here / extract yourself EMUI 9.0 recovery_ramdisk from UPDATE.APP
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_195.img (EMUI 9.0 release 11.01.2019)
3. Flash this RECOVERY_RAMDIS_195.img in fastboot and restart your device normally.
Your device may boot in to eRecovery. Switch off and restart in to fastboot and flash this RECOVERY_RAMDIS_195.img again in fastboot
4. Folllow the steps explained in How to Flash section.
How to DOWNGRADE from EMUI 9.0 to EMUI 8.1 for Non-ROOTED EMUI

GENERAL TWEAKS
AdGuard DNS:
You can read here what is DNS and the goodies of changins it https://www.maketecheasier.com/best-alternate-dns-services/
If anyone wants to change DNS AdGuard which stops ads in browsing. Flash it in magisk. I have done two versions. Default version blocks ads but allows browsing explicit sites and Family Protection block every ads and also explicit contents.
Files attached are,
AdGuard_DNS_(Default).v0.zip
AdGuard_DNS_(Family_Protection).v0.zip
Removal of Apps via ADB command:
If anyone wants to remove bloatware (that you may consider bloat) follow the steps below,
Note: This command doesn't remove the app altogether from your device. It removes the app from the default user 0. To get the apps back, just factory reset your device.
1. Download and unzip ADB files [Link]
2. Make sure that you have enabled USB debugging from Settings / System / Developers options [google search and find how to enable Developer option]
3. Connect your phone to your PC. Go to the folder where you have extracted the file downloaded from step 1 above
4. Double click to run the file cmd-here.exe. It opens command prompt in the same folder where you are
5. Run the command, adb shell
6. Now you can start debloating the apps that you want to (see commands below)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube [YouTube]

Nice guide, thanks for the mention!
I should add I did not upload these files. They are from a link shared in the MOD EDIT: TELEGRAM LINK DELETED. Check it out as there's lots of useful information in there.

Oh man! Thanks for this! Just perfect! Loving it =)

dang, i flashed these files on my first day with the p20, on a unknown region (C605) and now i'm having to go through with this rebranding: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/strange-rebrand-clt-l09-to-clt-29-c432-t3798978
never that easy, is it?

Do you need to name the folder anything specific?
Or literally just download those files an put them into a random folder on your phone?
How does the script see them, just looking for some clarity on that.
I understand the process just not that step.
Cheers for the guide and for taking the time.

You only select the HuRUpdater zip in twrp for flashing. The script automatically finds and flashes the other files.
Just make sure all the files are in the same folder (including HuRUpdater.zip). The folder can be called anything you want.

This stock ROM is very good and smooth. Any opinions?

Finally, received this via OTA
European model / Dual Sim (L29-C432)

is it normal to have " Chipset Boston 8.1.0.001 (011S3)" in build number ?
After the update I mean

any advantage of upgrading from 131 to 131a?

I flashed this yesterday. Honestly can't notice any difference. Build number still states 131...

Similarly I upgraded and don't see any difference, probably minor backend stuff. I think it's only really worth upgrading once a month when the new security patch comes. All the hassle for these small incremental updates isn't really worth it.

Hi guys, I have p20 pro l29 c432.
when I finished flashing huru.zip I reboot phone on twrp. Now phone is bricked
Can you help me please?

Same here :/
stock rom starts but is stuck after selecting WiFi (skipping doesn't work, some security bla about the necessity to verify via google account), it's stuck in "just a sec..." forever.
eRecovery also doesn't work, saying "failed to get package info" whenever I try.
Anyone with a solution?

Try to clean cache in erecovery and try again. Helped me with a different problem but maybe it works for you as well.

Thanks, but I tried that already, otherwise it wouldn't even start to try getting the recovery package ..

Is debranding necessary to flash this ROM? I'm on CLT-L04 8.1.0.109(C792), been learning Huawei's intricacies but still not understanding the debranding thing and keep hearing it tossed around. Are the ROMs themselves region locked or something?

Yes you do. You need to debrand.. Search for the thread in this Forum. You have to debrand to C432. Check your version from settings.

best gcam mod for mi A2

This thread is to discuss best gcam mod for mi A2.
The Google Camera HDR+ was a must-have for Xiaomi Mi A1. With it, the phone’s dual camera worked surprisingly well in low light.
So how are we?
Will there be a gcam app port to the Mi A2? And will the effect be es big, as before?

I am looking forward for this , on paper , Mi A1 / Mi A2 / Mi A2 Lite using AndroidOne , for Mi A2 Version (im referring to both Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite) , wondering if the TWRP will be the same ?

for of all, does it have camera2api enabled or we have to root again to enable. someone please confirm.

I think my Mi A2 will arrive in nex 6/8 days, when i'll got it i'll can confirm or not the compatibility with camera 2 api, i will use this application to test compatibility https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vice.inspector and report the check

This is perfect, working fine with my Mi A2. Thanks

Some edit to my experience with A2, there is now way to turn back to stock after changin boot image for root, if relock bootloader and remove magisk phone does not boot and get error no command so for now i have to stay with unlocked bootloader and can't use netflix or banking apps
EDIT: i managed to relock bootloader and make phone boot properly with stock boot image but unfortunally build prop revert back to stock with no API 2 CAMERA enabled, i followed this step
Unlock bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock"
Flashed pathced boot with "fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img"
same with boot_b
reboot phone and installed magisk apk
edit build prop with "setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1"
rebooted phone and checked if camera api 2 was enabled
reboot bootloader and flashed stock boot img
relocked bootloader and waitg for reboot
unlucky no succes, for now i think i will keep my phone with stock camera API or maybe i' ll wait for a modded recovery and a flashable zip for enable API...

Package com.samsung.android.themestore new state: disabled
I don't know why the New State won't Change.
I'm willing to do ANYTHING just to avoid any data erase and backup my files and photos and videos on my device. even if i have to trip my knox for rooting or installing custom kernel/Recovery.
Please Help me I just need to access my files and stuff on my phone (i have also files on Secure folder too).
p.s: I have read about flashing Home_csc using Odin and I have the latest firmware files too but not sure what is my current csc to avoid Data Erase.

I am not expert or anything. But if you find no answer and No one is able to help you and the only option you have is to lose all data to make the phone work(by reflashing the stock rom), then i would say just download a latest firmware for your model for a country where you bought the phone. and flash it with "HOME CSC" file. And with that i wish you good luck.
i know this post might make you annoy like i shouldn't have posted. and i searched and found nothing if flashing different CSC , format the phone or not as HOME CSC does not format the phone.
if you have time, can you look at this post? someone pointed it to someone who wanted to change csc without wiping data and without rooting device.

Hello Guys...
I Own An Exynos version of Sm-N950F with Latest Oreo Stock firmware version.my USB debugging is enable but OEM unlock button in development menu is not Active.
recently I have installed Package Disabler Pro (Samsung version) and Disabled some bloatware packages to save my battery. Now when I rebooted my phone it will be reset as soon as it shows Lock Screen.
I have retained the List of Disabled Packages with "Adb shell pm list -d" command"
Here is the list of Disabled packages:

You should have backed everything up first, you have disabled things required for your phone to work properly. you should have used something like greenify. For instance, how much battery do you think disabling the cool jazz font was going to save you? Not saying that is the cause of your problem, it just shows you are disabling things without knowing what they do because you think you don't need/want them. A majority of what you have disabled don't even run unless they are specifically called for by the user or a system process, and when they are done android puts them to sleep.

Removing Bloatware does not work on MIUI 12

Hello Friends,
When I was on MIUI 11, I had removed Mi apps like Mi pay, Mi video, Poco launcher, Mi browser and Mi music by adb. Now I have updated to latest MIUI 12 but I am not able to remove Mi calendar, Mi browser via adb. I get an error message, "failure [-1000]". Why is it happening and how I can remove the bloatware?

Hi Friends,
I am using MIUI 12.0.2.0 China stable ROM on my K20 Pro & I removed all the bloatwares apps included in this rom. For removings apps I use XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar .I suggest you download this tool & install JDK (java development kit) for the removal process. I am very haappy with this tool. I also use it on XIAOMI.EU rom.
I hope your problem will be solved with this great tool.

On global rom the tool cannot remove these apps, no idea why not.

You try this tool on global ROM?

i try that tool on global miui 12 and it cant remove that apps.
But on latest beta orange fox recovery exist option to remove system apps. didnt try as i change miui 12 global to Xiaomi.eu weekly and tool can remove that apps.
so global stable cant remove and xiaomi.eu weekly can remove

I tried with both Szaki's tool and OrangeFox Recovery tool, none of them work.

I confirm that following apps can't be removed on Global (12.0.1) MIUI 12
Code:
com.mi.android.globalminusscreen
com.mi.globalbrowser
com.xiaomi.calendar
com.miui.player
com.miui.videoplayer
com.miui.weather2
Following error occurs when I try to uninstall any of these apps:
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.mi.android.globalminusscreen
Failure [-1000]

I removed it

MIUI custom ROMs are not in question.
You allways can remove these sh*t apps on a custom ROM or, if can't be removed by "pm uninstall" command, you can remove by recovery.
The question is to remove these apps from unrooted and unlocked MIUI 12 global

I understand, but the answer is that we cant from miui 12 global. My phone is unlocked and i had magisk. and miui global stable, removing that apps is not possible with that debloater tool or commands. Didnt try other metods. but with debloater tools as sakis, it doesnt work.

The smallest ADB package for PC that is enough for ADB is Minimal ADB and Fastboot (find a thread on XDA)
According to your error, it was the following ADB command that failed:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <pkg-name>
Try instead the other ADB command:
adb shell pm disable-user <pkg-name>
Where <pkg-name> stands for:
com.mi.android.globalminusscreen com.mi.globalbrowser
...
or package name for any other system app you want to disable - use AppInspector from Playstore to read package names corresponding to the apps

I'm not using any windows command but the adb shell command to access the device then exec pm uninstall command.
I also confirm that I've tried also pm disable and pm disable-user and both fails to remove/disable the related apps

By AppInspector, find the system or data folder and apk name where the corresponding app is installed
By using TWRP (root not required) or e.g. MiXPlorer (root required), go to that folder and rename <app-name>.apk to <app-name>.bak and reboot
If you disabled a critical app causing e.g. a boot failure, use TWRP and rename bak file back to the original apk extension

To use twrp root isn't required but bootloader unlocked.
My bootloader is locked

Thanks a ton!! The MIUI browser (com.mi.globalbrowser) had been bothering me for quite some time, and because of you I was able to get rid of it! Thanks!

I can also confirm that using the disable function works on both the browser and calender apps, you can't uninstall but it will accept disable - problem solved

Btw, there is not much difference in disabling and 'uninstalling' - i.e., don't think that
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <pkg-name>
would really remove the package from your system
It only uninstalls for the current user 0 - but the app is still available on the system for user 999
And the opposite command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <pkg-name>
would reinstall it (for user 0), hence package was not really deleted from the system (to save some MBs or so)
---
The only differences between disabling and uninstalling (both make it for user 0) are
- Disabled apps are still visible in Settings, Apps and some of them can be re-enabled by click from there.
Playstore will show you an update of disabled app and if you want to prevent its automatic update (and re-enabling) you have to disable its auto-update in Playstore.
Similarly for System apps updater from Xiaomi (disable auto-updating and when it offers to update an app you have disabled, click to ignore the update)
- 'Uninstalled' ones are not visible in Settings, Apps. If you want to 're-install' them you have to remember what you have 'uninstalled'' and their package names.
Playstore and System apps updater will not bother you about their updates

Thanks, but this is just with the ADBFastbootTools.jar and the uninstall option failed for the new Mi Browser and Calender, but the disable option worked. Both are annoying bloatware that can't be fully removed without root, so this is the next best option.
