[Discussion] OTAs on Rooted Huawei/Honor phones- Confirmed

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

To show the update received
Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.
Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

My phone is with modified boot.img by magisk. It was just updated to B388 sucessfully without swithing back to stock boot.

Yes it will need stock recovery

If I go back to stock recovery what happens to all my apps and settings that need root?
What's the best way to backup, flash stock, update then restore?
PS I'm coming from a iPhone.
Thanks,
Chris

It will remain intact. No data loss. Well Chris, i can confirm on the OTA part but you never know the unforeseen consequences. I mean can run into trouble sometimes as Huawei/Honor phones are prone to brick in seconds. I would say to not update in such scenarios.

P10 lite oreo

Hi, can anyone confirm the oreo update appeared on FF for European version?
Was-lx1c432b321-log (8.0.0.321)
If yes, is it for p10 lite single sim or dual sim?
Thanks

I'm downloading it right now.
I noticed that it contains the main update package and the secondary ones that is supposed to work with both ds and ss versions
Anyway i think that is Oreo but maybe a beta?

Can you run the "getprop ro.treble.enabled" command in terminal (or ADB if you prefer)? Would be nice to see if it's supported.

With skill. Find it yourself. There is a way to force install ANY update. For free. But you have to have some brain to first find it, to be sure that you have, again, enough brain to not brick your device. I will not link anything. Until you acknowledge you will do AS INSTRUCTED, NO OTHER STEPS.

There is the UI smoothness because it is a fresh install, Project Treble is enabled, and all around it is more polished than EMUI 5.

1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash nocheck recovery or something like that.
3. put the update.app into a folder on the sd card.
4. Boot into eRecovery and apply the update
Right ? I only had HTC and Nexus devices so I don't really know how the update process works on Huawei devices with 2 recovery's

Sort of. But it's pretty difficult to do it yourself. There is a script out here that will do that for you automagically.

Gonna test the bootloader relock, but the TWRP is indeed removed after. But be careful, that script can't revert the update since the Oreo update changes the partitions' structure....

Yep, it is removed. I ran the script and everything works great even VoLTE for Orange Romania !
I don't really want to downgrade because it's pretty stable for me

Try using google camera with hdr+.
If it works then it is enabled successfully, although the screenshot looks normal to me(it is enabled).

If I understand correctly, you enabled hal3 and eis with unlocked bootloader, then relocking it. If so, then that's a success.

What did you do? What were you trying to do before this happend? Installing a ROM, etc?
I would likely use the Fastboot ROMs at this point. (link)

Reflash your OOS ROM with 'local update' feature, like if it was a regular ROM update.
It will restore all those partitions needed for language and emji's
Best to do that than flash an .img file found on the net

Use the Man download tool, just read instructions and you'll be fine, worked for me several times. It's in the Guides forum.

thanks a lot, I didn't know that Android is kinda complicated
the original ROM that comes with the phone where can I download it? ( i looked the op site couldn't find it ) because I've download one it was for O2 UK
I don't understand yet, maybe i am more an IOS guy.
I want to format it and restore to the original rom came with the device.

Like I said, use Msm download tool. It will install global ROM and also format to new, and after that you can update.

This is wonderful, great work bro

I suggest to be carefull with this zip - it hard bricked my device (twrp or system was not able to boot, I had to revert the system to stock Android through fastboot, then install back custom rom)
Finally it was my decision. I take responsibility.
Best regards,
Bartłomiej.

Worked for me too

Work like a charm, i juste replace both abl_a and abl_b file in dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ with your file and set permission to 777
