Not all devices are updated to emui 5.1 mate. Hoping someone can help. Venu had it working but on Honor 8 with emui 5.0 (i think, i saw his one of post, it was for FRD model)

I had it working before also in Honor 8 B385. OldDroid was saying something about flashing a file that would keep the device from being encrypted at boot. But I can't find it anywhere.

That's ok mate. I don't want any other root solution other than Magisk. So I hope it settles soon.

Rooted with Magisk today and works seamless.
But I could not pass SafetyNet check.
First time I flashed a zip to remove dm-verity and it ran into bootloop. Make sure you don't do that

Any Reason to NOT Upgrade to EMUI 5.0?

Just got my Honor 6x last week. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted the phone yet, and honestly, I'm not sure I'm going to bother doing so this time around. I also haven't installed the update to EMUI 5.0 yet. If in the future I do decide to unlock the bootloader, or root the phone, is there any reason I shouldn't install the EMUI 5.0 update now, or is it safe to do so?

It is absolutely safe and works fine unless there is any bug for your specific model.
There is neither one reason to remain on EMUI 4. Everything is better on Nougat, you'll see

H815 v29a possible safetynet CTS profile fix

I have cts false too in Magisk 14th and 29a...
Yeah, it may be possible to fool safetynet into thinking we have a different CTS certified Rom just by tinkering with ro.build.fingerprint
Might let android pay run on V29a
Safetynet works lol. I use android pay and all that just download safetynet fix
What's your setup?
I'm on Freedom rom, Titan kernel and magisk 14 or 13.3 with or without fix. Banking app works but not android pay

The only way I got Freedom to pass SafetyNet was by installing it and leaving every option as close to stock as possible, installing Magisk and the Universal SafetyNet Fix module. Also, don't make any modification to the system partition

Well that's what I've done too. So your CTS profile passes? Are you able to use android pay or at least launch without error?
Are you running Titan kernel?

I'm currently testing a MM rom which I modded myself, but to answer your question: yeah it passed with Titan Kernel. All V29A roms I tried did.

Never tried Pay, I live in The Netherlands so never had a use for it

I had the same profile error on my v29a. Is it possible to fix it with any of the proposed solutions ( universal fix or safetynet patch) and still be able to relock Bootloader ?

I was going to attempt it as well. His worked fine for me. I patched his boot.img with magisk and installed it in twrp (install image to boot). After backing up boot of course.
I only describe the steps because someone will inevitably try without backing up or something and come back asking for help recovering, lol.

Cool, same thing. Flash kernel then magisk =patched boot.img
Patch image with magisk = patched boot.img. I already had magisk installed and kinda wanted to try the "patch boot.img method in magisk anyways.
Thanks again dude, I was missing modules for awhile there. You had any luck with safetynet?

This is a kernel for stock, not custom roms.

How to install nougat ROMs over EMUI 8?

Ever since I updated my phone to EMUI 8 I've been regretting it. The stock ROM lacks certain features, also, the way it handles notifications is annoying. I am not able to revert back to EMUI 5.x through dload method. Is there any other way to do it? I tried installing dot, rros, mokee ROMs which ended up in bootloop. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it a lot.

You might need to rebrand the phone using the Rebranding guide..
Solved
I rebranded my phone by directly flashing c432 over my indian version using the fullOTA flasher. It booted into "testkeys" version, then I flashed c432 oeminfo from the rebranding/restoring guide using the flash command in TWRP terminal. It worked perfectly. If I can get the fullOTA files and oeminfo for the Indian version I'll have my initial, out of the box, phone.

When will beta 9.0 come out ?

Hey There...
Does anyone knows when will beta version of EMUI 9.0 be available globally. They said it would be in July if anyone knows exact date ?
Any help would be appreciated
I bet they have silently cancelled it, there was a beta project in my country, I was approved, but never received the ota, it is now gone from the beta app.
Pretty disappointed tbh, Huawei and Honor just lost yet another customer

But some recent news on internet are even confirming EMUI 9.1 for our device. How could they cancel 9.0 and confirm 9.1. Maybe they are upgrading the device directly to 9.1 that's why they removed the 9.0 Update from FUT

There seem to be some updates for your model on Firmware Finder, if you're willing to tinker with it you can give HuRUpdater a try. Personally, I just wanted emui 9 to move to newer openkirin releases.

Yes there are but I don't have a spare phone these days to use as a daily driver if anything messes up so I am a little bit afraid to do a force update.

Which security patch did you have on EMUI 9.1? I'm looking to move to OmniRom and apparently the security patches from May onwards caused bootloops with OpenKirin images.

np, I got pretty worried when I got the bootloop, thinking that the update to emui 9.1 was somehow "incomplete".
Btw under RR the device is seen as "Kirin Treble" and not Honor 7X, but from what I can tell everything works fine. Do you also have the European model?
