Preliminary TWRP 3.1.1-0 for Mate 9/EMUI 8 (Android O)

[duraaraa]

This is TWRP to Mate 9/Android O, brought to you by FunkyHuawei.
It's just a preliminary build so I can't promise anything/everything will work! Keep that in mind. I'm not responsible if you brick your device.

EDIT: Does not work with Mate 10 series.

It works on the Android O build here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FunkyHuawei/comments/75uwkd/october_12_first_official_android_o_beta_for/
and the official European beta.

To install:

First, have Android O running. Unlock the bootloader. Download the twrp image.

Then, run in fastboot mode:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_android_o_mate9_a1.img

Then, reboot holding volume up, and you've got TWRP!

Note: With the Android O update, it is no longer possible to flash the recovery2 partition. Furthermore, the names of the partitions have changed. Please keep that in mind, and don't mess around too much with TWRP, to be sure you don't brick your system!

Can you upload the sources to github.com or upload boot image here?

Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you looking for? You could just unpack twrp using android image kitchen if you want partition names etc.

Yes I know. But I'm interested in Oreo kernel.

Kernel is not included within recovery anymore. Things have changed a lot.

Actually, I have oreo for P10 plus, but haven't released it. If you want to test it, maybe I can try to release something. I want to find something more recent though.

 

[Blackball]

I just want the firmware to look inside what things have changed etc. Maybe you can write me a pm what we can do that I get the files.

Ah. boot partition is now called ramdisk_a, and zImage (kernel) is kept in kernel_a.
Need to "hack" magisk to get this working xD

Edit: It's impossible!

Maybe.
Magisk refuses to find ramdisk_a or /dev/block/sdd36.

 

[Blackball]

That's interesting. I hope Huawei upload new sources and this time maybe working sources

@duraaraa could you upload stock recover_ramdisk? I can't go back to N without it and wasted 2 credits :/

With supersu,the same?

I think so. A few files that are usually found in boot image are not found in ramdisk_a. So even if we could get it to find that partition it probably won't work anyway.

I tried making a pre-rooted image, but since it's missing sepolicy it wouldn't work (I guess that's why anyway).

I can't live without root . Mainly because all my backups are made with Titanium Backup, which requires root. And I need adfree..

I can't upload it for everyone but if you send an email to FH support you can get a hold of it.
