Yes, to remove Root flash original ramdisk.img and recovery_ramdis.img.

ramdisk = fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img
Recovery= fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img

Thank you, then one see with the RAMDIKS.IMG stock and Recovery_Ramdis.img Stock, When you arrive a future update will not have problems?

Oh and have the unlocked bootloader will not give me problems?

Unlocked bootloader never prevents OTA upgrades. If you read posts back, you will see that OTA Patch01 is already arriving, and there is no problem with unlocked Bootloader (you must only have stock/unrooted ramdisk)

However, with OTA Patch01, rooting is no more possible

Since we tested this Mms and it works - please delete bak files and oat folder. There should be only the new folder Mms (including lib folder and Mms.apk) in /system/priv-app and nothing else.
This Mms is not from Nougat - it would not work on Oreo - it is from Mate 10 Lite c185 b311 Oreo...

Please do the following test:

- Have two numbers
<Num1> SAVED to your Contacts book
<Num2> NOT SAVED to your Contacts book
(Eg, for <Num1> take the number from your Contacts, for <Num2> change one of its digits)

- Send or receive SMS
"<Num1> test <Num2>"

-On Oreo, tap on
<Num1> DOES OPEN the popup with Call, Edit before Calling, Send SMS...
<Num2> DOES NOT OPEN popup with the above options

-On Nougat (eg MR v4), tap on either <Num1> or <Num2> DOES OPEN that right popup.

(Even if <Num1> is number +43... from your Contacts and for <Num2> you replace +43 with 0, it will again fail on Oreo but not on Nougat)

So this is the reason why it was probably 'passing' for you but not for me (testing with numbers from Contacts or not)

Difference between EMUI-Recovery and Huawei eRecovery

Still uneasy about your terminology.
Screenshot-1 (attached) shows the same Recovery as in my post #477 - Recovery that I was getting with Vol+ & Pov, without USB cable, when it failed to boot to TWRP.
Screenshot-2 shows 'real' EMUI Recovery that I get with
Vol+ & Pov, also without USB cable, but now upon I flashed recovery_ramdis.img to recovery_ramdisk.
With Vol+ & Pov, and with USB cable connected to charger, it boots for me again to Screenshot-1, different from your screenshot in the post #445 (?!)

EDIT: Moved the phone with charger to another outlet (better WiFi signal), it didn't ask me for WiFi pass but it did show eRecovery as in your post #445 and started to download...
PS: eRecovery for b528 with User reset finished, About no more showing Patch01, and phone does not recognize two SIM cards - tonight will have to repeat setting the things

I've never seen your screenshot on eRecovery, but in the end, you managed to boot into eRecovery instead of EMUI Recovery and restored your phone to b528 without Patch001


To clarify it a bit more clearly (for other users and some details for you):

Start EMUI-Recovery
USB cable disconnected from phone
VOL+ and Power Button (The power button can be omitted as soon as the Huawei logo was visible - but VOL+ must be pressed until Recovery screen appear)
EMUI-Recovery has 3 options:
Reboot system now - Wipe data/factory reset - Wipe cache partition
The Start screen looks like screenshot 1

Start Huawei eRecovery
Connect phone with USB data cable to charger
Shutdown phone (It can also be done with the phone switched on, but starting from the switched off device makes it easier)
VOL+ and Power Button (same as for EMUI-Recovery power button can be omitted as soon as the Huawei logo was visible - but VOL+ must be pressed until Recovery screen appear)
Huawei eRecovery has 2 different options:
Reboot - Download latest version and recovery - Shutdown
The Start screen looks like screenshot 2
→ with eRecovery you can restore latest official Firmware for this device (even, if you want come back from AOSP Rom) - see Screenshot 3
Note: Restore with eRecovery is working, but it will wipe your data and settings

Have a WiFi connection saved in AL10, but move to the very end of its WiFi range (still visible in Settings WLAN but not good enough to connect)

Switch off, connect to charger, Vol+ & Pow

It will boot to 'mine' eRecovery screen ("Software install failed"... and only one option Reboot, and without Recovery name on the left top), not 'yours' eRecovery screen (all three options and eRecovery title on top-left)
(At that place I don't have another WiFi connection. Maybe if there was another, it would ask for pass...)

Same test but moving closer to WiFi AP, then 'yours' eRecovery screen shows (not asking for WiFi password)

Tested few times back and forth, since I have reproducible environment

I believe you - but that's not the normal case!

Normally it's like I described. I tested and used eRecovery several times, and for some repairs for other phones together with FunkyHuawei.
It's always like I described.
Even other Users and Testers used eRecovery on rebranded EVA-AL10 like I have described.

Of course WLAN shouldn't be far away, because eRecovery must download some GB from the server.

Perhaps you get this screen because you have tried once to use dload for FullOTA-MF Firmware?
If you still have this folder on external SD - rename dload to Update (you can use the Firmware with two zip files renamed together with HuRUpdater, if needed) or delete the folder.

I am sorry, but every test I do is working... This might be, because I am on Custom Rom and not on Stock - I dont know. Maybe I do something wrong, but I cannnot find any missing options...

To you have perhaps another adb terminal open in the background?
If HiSuite is enabled on your phone you must close it too (in settings)

No. Uninstalled hisuite just tot make sure. Rebooted and they the changelog of OEM worked. But right afterparty that, as you van der, the sale error came.

Even if you have uninstalled HiSuite, you have the setting in your phone:
Settings /Advanced settings/security / disable HiSuite HDB.
Reboot phone and reboot PC.

Have you the hwota folder on c (C:\HWOTA7) and not changed anything in the folder structure of the subfolders?
Did you rename two of the FullOTA-MF zip files?

Have you checked the downloaded HWOTA 7 zip file with md5 check?

The error is not from the Tool. You must find out what is conflicting with the Tool.

It can also be Anti-virus program on PC, with sandbox or anything else

You can have more than one device/emulator present and connect

just run

adb devices

adb - s device : port shell

 

[zgfg]

Would it be possible to update from b528 to b532/b533, or maybe MR v5 will be based on - Changelog:

[Network]
Optimizes Internet speed for certain networks.
[Charging]
Intelligently adjusts the charging voltage to balance the phone temperature and charging speed.
[System]
Improves system stability.

---

Two tips:

1) To get rid of OTA Update badge for Patch01 (as attached)
- Airplane on
- Enable System Update (system/app/HWOUC)
- Reboot
- For me, it removed badge (otherwise I wanted to do: Settings / Apps / System processes / System Update: Clear Data/Cache)
- Disable System Update
- Airplane off
- Reboot

2) To get rid of Pinyin stuff on the bottom-left of Lock Screen
- Change Theme to e.g. TC Flux (need to login to Huawei account)

Thanks for the tips!

I have already downloaded b532 and I will test this Firmware.
Especially if root is still possible.
Then it's clear if Patch01 has the side effect of preventing root or if it's intentional

Tonight I will download also b533

I checked everything you wrote but the problem remains.

Could my systemwide adb on win10 maybe be the problem?

Can I do the steps manually?

Edit: i also have ubuntu on my pc. And i wanted to try to run te script from there but then i got this error

It's made for working with windows.
If you have adb systemwide installed, just uninstall this App from Control Panel.

The Tool has everything what's needed. This should work.

Hi @Tecalote. I'm having problems with eRecovery. Starts saying "Get info package" and after a bit throws me Error getting info package or something like this. I'm using LineageOS. There another way to go back to EMUI?

Hi @Tecalote. I'm having problems with eRecovery. Starts saying "Get info package" and after a bit throws me Error getting info package or something like this. I'm using LineageOS. There another way to go back to EMUI?

Did you replace TWRP by EMUI Recovery and did you also flash back System partitipn before eRecoverying

Alternatively, post #3 describes HuRUpdate method

 

[Tecalote]

@csmarino90
HuRUpdater is working pretty good on Oreo - you need just Oreo b528 FullOTA-MF (instead of Nougat Firmware) and TWRP installed - in the advanced tab of Wipe you have the option to format data - format data with TWRP, (format - not wipe) reboot TWRP and flash HuRUpdater (described in Post #3)
HuRUpdater must be together with the 3 Firmware zip files in "Update" folder (two of the zip files renamed)
HuRUpdater flashes automatically the Full Firmware.
After this step reboot Recovery and do Factoryreset in Stock Recovery (Stock Recovery is automatically flashed with HuRUpdater, because it's in the update.zip)

With this method you don't need to flash system.img or any other imgs.
Just do it with TWRP and HuRUpdater - if eRecovery want work
