So there is somehting I don't understand Alf. I have flashed down to 8.0.0.135(C432). OS working. So then I have to flash Morfuz ROM 4.5. When installing a ROM, as per the instructions, one normally through TWRP Format Then wipe Dalvik, cache, data, internal storage, system And after that you...

Thank you man! I was thinking the other day about my security patch maybe not being low enough.. I will downgrade to stock less than 09.2018. But I just wiped the phone again, and used his version of Magisk 17.1, installed the patch for the phone issue and it was resolved BUT when I upgrade...

So a kernel is just an app for a person to set hardware specific settings? I see that the OS has one built in. I installed the last ROM you suggested. This one - ROM V4.5 - EMUI 8 http://catuva21.blogspot.com/2018/06/morfuzp20.html?m=1 So then I just need to flash the provided file for fixing...

Hi there Alf. Well the good news is I got Magisk 21 running and working! I also installed the following Module-MorfuzKernel_P20LITE .zip -- ([KERNEL][MORFUZ-5.6][EAS][OREO] For P20 Lite by Catuva21) When I try and flash the phone fix through Magisk, it gives me the following output. Copying...

from HavocOS to KangVIP So hello there Alf man I flashed KangVIP ROM and all went good until I couldn't phone or properly install Magisk. As per this xda thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/development/rom-emui-8-0-kangvip-p20-lite-catuva21-t3813564 If I wanted Magisk...

I had so many posts I forgot what you said. But I did go back to your old ones, some of them to try and figure out how to flash back to A8 and install Havoc OS. Thank you for telling me again :victory: Ok i will look at also getting SELinux permissive then. You were right about this ROM though...

I was not sure what I wanted :p from the custom ROM. Well when I started down this path I learned a couple of things. It would seem you are indeed correct. But what I saw with a non-GAPSS phone compared to a manufacturer ROM is that even when not using the phone, the custom ROM uses about 1...

Thanks man for the info. That is a hard one to swollow I'd say. Not being able to record video is a big deal. I take it that is why you went back to stock ROM on your P20...

Ok....where do I get a stock camera app then? I tried via F-Droid. The camera app that is installed with the OS does not work. It crashes to the home screen. I also tried a few through the PlayStore. No luck. When you say GSI, that means all ROMs that are GSI based has this issue with Huawei...

You had any issues with the camera app?

I followed your downgrade instructions Alf. Flashed a Service ROM, phone was locked, then I did downgrade through HiSuite to EMUI 8. All went good! Installed Havoc OS 2.9 as suggested! Thank you so very much for all you help dude!

Thank you Alf. You were very helpful!

Ok, got a post on XDA, you need Service ROM to go back to Android 8. The dload method, does it matter what the sd card's name is in the OS? Must it be sd_card? OK the dload method does not work. I see that once you properly load a Service ROM, your device locks automatically and then one can...

Ok, I tried flashing via dload method as well as the service menu Alf. Didn't work. So I flashed it manually via fastboot. It installed the service ROM as you suggested I do. The one I flashed was Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 ANE-L21 hw eu HLRCF Anne-L21 9.1.0.278(C432E6R1P7T8) Firmware EMUI9.1.0...

Ok thank you Alf, I will try with the provided info. Thank you! I was reading through XDA but couldn't find a answer. After I tried to do a downgrade via HiSuite and it failed as well as the dlaod method, I tried again to do a downgrade via HiSuite and the info in the app stated that my phone...

Hi Alf, So I tried to follow your advice. I downloaded the following .zip file mentioned in your earlier post. ANE-L01 8.0.0.136(C432) Firmware Android 8.0.0 EMUI 8.0.0 05014YXX.zip I unzipped that file, and afterwards I tried flashing it first with the dload method, which only gave an error...

Ok thank you very much for your insight Alf. I was having issues with that specific TWRP, that's why I tried a different one. But per your instructions, I will 100% go ahead and install Service ROM as suggested! Thank you so very much Alf! Now I understand a bit more one the partitions.

Well after flashing back to EMUI 9.1 I tried again, this time flashing TWRP first (twrp-3.4.0-0-anne.img) ....the other TWRP you suggested booted into TWRP but then it would reboot shortly after. Then I formated my sd card to fat32. After that I flashed Colt OS, then I reinstalled stock...

Hi Alf man! Thank you for the suggested links. I tried flashing the TWRP provided but nothing happens. I have gone back to EMUI 9.1 and I can pickup the sd card. So I have no idea why it keeps telling me the sd card is corrupt Alf. From what I have read, there are 2 partitions, one active...

Hi all, I have managed to install the following vanilla ROM on my Huawei P20 lite. ColtOS-v5.4-10-Unofficial-20200103-arm64-ab-vanilla.img So far it's going good but I've got 3 issues that I can't get info on with this ROM. As far as I could see Android 10 OS has changed file systems. So...

Don't bother trying any one of those ROMs listed in that post. I wasted a whole day trying to flash a ROM specified by that website. Look specifically for ROMs on XDA website. I get more help here, and it has been tested already on our devices.

I would have really like to test an earlier version then which did not have all those missing features! It seemed to me that customization was very good on the ROM.... :rolleyes: facepalm on Get Droid Tips....because the only tip I got from them is more than 12 hrs of trying to implement their...

Hi Alf, I have abandoned ship to get HavocOS on my device :( But I'm trying now the following AOSP Android 10 Q https://www.getdroidtips.com/android-10-huawei-p20-lite/ I'm going to try and use this TWRP (twrp-3.4.0-0-anne.img) Will let you know how it goes!

What is the difference then between the following? ARM64A ARM64AB OK so the answer is Use ARM64xA - when your phone is using Android 8.0 (EMUI 8.0) Use ARM64xAB - when your phone is using Android 9 (EMUI 9.1)

Oh snap man, I only saw the last part of your post now. I tried the following ROMS. Most of them was downloaded from SourceForge man. Havoc-OS-v3.0-20191225-ARM64A-Unofficial.img.xz Havoc-OS-v3.1-20200202-ARM64A-GSI.img I have tried others as well but they were ARM64AB....

OK I can't upgrade to EMUI 9 but I can upgrade to a custom ROM which has Android 9 (through AB partition)? "...you can flash Custom ROM based on A9 (which requires A8 OS)." Which means I can upgrade to any custom ROM which has Android 9 / 10? What is the difference then between the following...

Also just for me to understand. I have EMUI 8.0 running then I can't upgrade to a Android 9 Custom ROM?

Well I can still dload back to my old EMUI 8.0 OS! I just did it again and it works. I can get back into my OS no probs. I have done this about 6 times today, lol. I really do not want to lock my bootloader again as it took me a long time to get it unlocked! Thnx for the reply!

No it's stuck on a bootloop Alf :crying:

I have done as instructed yet there is am issue at the last step. I can boot into stock recovery but when I try and do a Factory Reset via the menu the reset only goes to 9% and gives a large orange/red exclamation mark.....so it did not finish. When I try and reboot and load the OS it goes into...

Hi Alf my man :) So I am having a bit of trouble with your instructions. I am very sure it is my own fault! I just want to clarify the steps please. I have downloaded the 2 provided files you gave in the link. 1 Install TWRP via "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP-oreo-smart.img" 2 Boot...

Hi all, I'm trying to install Havoc OS on my P20 lite (2018 model - ANE-LX1 8.0.0.0.135(C432)). My current version of EMUI is 8.0. So I need to install a A version of ARM and NOT AB. The system image is Havoc-OS-v3.1-20200202-ARM64A-GSI.img I have TWRP...

If I currently have LineageOS 16 (Aug 2020 ver) can I use the AB partition? I presume so because the Android version currently is 9. I am looking to try HavocOS. Thank you Alf man you have helped me a lot with all my questions!

hehe well i'm just picky in getting the device to work right! Thank you for the detailed response Alf!

Hi, No i have not tried one of the recommended in that list i provided. It took me a very long time to get the phone unlocked! Then more bricks, soft and hard through the process :crying: Magisk was not as hard to install but EdXposed was, and I also got my device stuck on a boot loop trying...

Hi all, I have unlocked my device and is currently running LineageOS 16 from OpenKirin. There are a few things which does not work, like the camera app that comes with the OS as well as the notch, where icons goes beyond the notch. Someone suggested I try the OpenKirin Rom and that is how I got...

Thank you for trying though Alf. Also for helping so much! You helped me the most consistently!

Nope, did not work. It freezes on the startup screen of the TWRP recovery. I have also tries another version of 3.2.1.0 but that one did indeed start TWRP but it gave me the same error. What if I disable encryption on my phone and then try TWRP again? Thanks for you help Alf!

Hi all, I am rather new to flashing custom ROMs so please bear with me! I am looking for the best way to do a full backup of my device. I have the following installed. * Bootloader unlocked * Root enabled * LineageOS 16 installed * Got Magisk and EdXposed running and working. * Flashed TWRP...

Hi all, My device - Huawei P20 lite (kirin CPU) So my bootloader is unlocked, I flashed LineageOS 16.1 and have Magisk installed. Is there any way I can get the Exposed module running on this device via Magisk. Thanks!

Exposed for Huawei P20 Lite (bootloader unlocked & running LineageOS 16.1 & Magisk) Good day folks, I am currently running LineageOS 16.1. I have also rooted the device through Magisk. I have installed a couple of modules via Magisk manager which is working. What I really was looking forward...

Dude!!! You helped me with your advice as I was also having the exact same issue!!! Thnx man

Awesome stuff Alf! Thank you very much for all the effort and info!

Thank you Alf for clearing that up! Well now I'm stuck again as the instructions have been removed :confused: I'm a bit tight on monies now so the free method was the only option for me now.

So TWRP is the same as Custom Recovery_ramdisk then? So this part, the last part..... " ...ERECOVERY_RAMDISK using the program, then get the .img one and reboot into fastboot mode, do fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk ERECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and flash TWRP onto RECOVERY_RAMDISK, now its time to...

Thank you for the response Alf, I do understand the command but the part the part where it says "TWRP onto RECOVERY_RAMDISK" doesn't make sense to me. How do you flash the TWRP app onto RECOVERY_RAMDISK?

Not understanding the last part of the instructions do fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk ERECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and flash TWRP onto RECOVERY_RAMDISK, Hi. I don't understand the part above. I understand the part to do "fastboot flash *.img", but how do I flash "TWRP onto RECOVERY_RAMDISK"? Thank...

Worked :) You da man! Thnx

Super thanks mate! I'm downloading the ANE-L01 + ANE-L21 8.0.0.135(C432) Firmware now. Will report back if it's successful! Thank you!

Damaged ZIP file Hi, I managed to download said file from androidhost.ru. Yet the package I'm interested in (ANE-L01_hw_eu) is corrupted. I have tried extracting the other 2 zip files embedded in the download and they extract just fine but not for the phone I want. Is there maybe someone with...
