HwOTA7 + HwOTA8 for Huawei P10 Lite1. On the phone, make a backup of all data (since during the upgrade all data will be erased). This is an obligatory condition.
2. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!). The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations. You must to download for the version what model and location you will have after the firmware);
5. Add the downloaded files to the folder "HWOTA\Update" and run the .cmd file, it will rename them automatically according to the template:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
- update_full_....zip to update_all_hw.zip
- update.zip don't rename
and will be repack firmware (only HwOTA8)!!!
6. After run the universal batch file update.bat in the "HWOTA" folder, which will provide an opportunity to choose the required work option (change firmware/rebranding (change location)). FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MONITOR - the entire process is accompanied by prompts.
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
7. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"

If you read the instructions, the bootloader will be locked after the process is completed, therefore, you're gonna have to unlock it and reflash the custom recovery that you had before

for anyone wondering, I solved Magisk installation on oreo!
use .app extractor to get the RAMDISK image, patch it with magisk app on the phone. then use fastboot to install to ramdisk partition, like so
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_image.img
hope this helps

now that I think about it I tried earlier with the kernel image as well, there is no "boot" image.
maybe you need to do both kernel and ramdisk images seperately

Ok, that does not seem too bad, yet.
I suppose you are using system.img downloaded from web.
That image has given many that same error.
Best to use your system.img.
And the error flashing twrp, is common when using the nougat command or nougat recovery on Oreo.
Solutions.
Find your firmware on pro-teammt
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=Bnd-&firmware_page=0
Then download update.zip
Extract files.
Get hauwei update extractor.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw0xkKEyI85nY9x4Fjr1AWJl
Extract the system.img
Then fastboot flash it.
Recovery:
Oreo command== fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_ramdisk
Twrp name depends on version used. I use build 4 from here

I flashed the system.img but now the phone bootloops. It could be possible I got the wrong system.img because I don't know exactly what firmware my phone was on before I messed up. I only know it was EMUI8. Is there a way to completely reflash everything?

I tried rebooting to stock recovery in order to factory reset but it only shows me the update, power off and reboot options so no factory reset possibility. I read through the entire thread you linked here but I'm very confused as to what to do with the full OTA file. I'm on a broken EMUI8 that bootloops and I'd like to clean flash EMUI8 again so I can flash an AOSP Oreo rom after that. What do I do?

Just made updates to guide last night. I think it is worded simple now.
Download my update "package" from step E
Extract it to a folder on your PC.
You are on emui8, so copy the HWOTA folder from the extracted zip to your sdcard
Also put hwota-update-7-8-auto.zip on sdcard.
Put the three (3) update files from pro-teammt.ru in the HWOTA8 folder on your sdcard
Put card into phone
Boot into twrp
Select install
Choose sdcard as source
Install hwota-update-7-8-auto.zip

Give me feedback after installing emui 8
List of Roms available in emui8: Elemental rom had fingerprint bug will be fixed in two months.
GSI roms only phhusson roms are working. I'm using this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
list of bugs: some gapps crashes,adb and mtp not working,headphones without mic wont detect but gsi roms will update frequently so these bugs will be gone.
final stock emui8 no bugs you can flash gapps and use it as stock emui8.
be careful with gsi roms. if you accidentally enter into e recovery while on any gsi rom you need to factory reset otherwise your internal storage wont detect.
Finally you need to factory reset after every gsi rom you have flashed and factory reset only works with stock recovery. flash this https://mega.nz/#!cbJFAIQD!qvp1KnZ0qxlg6nHDFmpM5qyZ9QUVIDe5PoZE0BQf8fs
this stock recovery for emui8 will do factory reset otherwise gsi roms wont boot.

6.Connect your phone to PC using fastboot and run update.bat in HWOTA 7 folder,it will ask for unlock code if your device is locked,follow instructions,Reboot to TWRP>By holding power button,when its shows yellow warning hold volume up key it will Reboot to TWRP
7.When its ask for
update from> Using the script
select >change location>BLN-AL 20
It will copy firmware and install everything automatically,just wait for your device to boot
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
8. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"
Bugs Fixing:
Unknown or invalid IMEI:Use any root file manager and go to cust/all/cn/prop/local.prop and edit local.prop change the line full network support: true to false
Sound bug or any other bugs:Flash the whole firmware again using HuRu updater it will completely install the firmware which fixes the sound bug.Follow this guide for HuRu Updater> https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279

No for emui5 to emui8 you need hwota7. Huru is for changing firmwares in emui8 like al10 to al20 . so your gonna need a pc to do hwota7.

Use hwota8 but be careful small mistake will brick your phone. My advice instead of downgrade go to openkirin.net and try los 15. Very stable os than stock and got stock hauwei camera,gapps and good battery backup.

Hi All
Note: This procedure is for Windows PC only.
I can see there is a similar thread to help on rooting your device.
I created this thread it make it more easier and focussed just on rooting your device rather with additional information.
This menthod is to root your device without TWRP.
There is a detailed guide by @Freak07 which you can find here.
Prerequisite:
1. Your device bootloader is unlocked
2. You have enabled your Developer Options and enabled USB debugging (Settings > System > About phone > Software information, tap build number 7 times to enable Developer options)
3. Flash Tools, download from here and extract to your PC
4. Latest Magisk Manager which you can download from the relevant thread (search or click here)
BOOT IMAGES
Stock Boot images:
Firmware WW_16.1220.1906.174_0 >>>> Click here
Firmware WW_16.1220.1908.189_1.1.1 >>>> Click here
Patched Boot images:
Firmware WW_16.1220.1906.174_0 (patched with Magisk 19.3 stable version) >>>> Click here
Firmware WW_16.1220.1908.189_1.1.1 (patched with Magisk 19.3 stable version) >>>> Click here
Steps to Root:
1. Connect your device with USB cable
2. Go to the folder where you copied Flash Tools and double click to run cmd-here.exe
3. In the command prompt run the command adb devices, this will run the Deamon and show your device under List of devices attached. If doesn't show your device, check your device is connected and USB debugging is enabled.
4. Now run the command adb reboot bootloader to boot your device in to Fastboot mode
5. Now flash the patched boot image with the command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Restart your device with the fastboot command fastboot reboot and enjoy your ROOTED device
It works great, thanks!!
But then I installed miracast magisk module and now everytime I flash magisk patched boot, my phone is stuck on Asus logo so I have to flask stock boot to use my phone.
I think I should flash system image but when I unzip firmware from Asus site ( https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-6-ZS630KL/HelpDesk_Download/ ) on my mac,
It doesn't show any system image (or even boot image), only "compatibility" , "payload" and some other stuff.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi ASUS firmware for Zenfone do not have system img and instead it is the payload.bin which holds all system files. You can extract system image using python based tools.
You can remove the module if you flash TWPR and using file manger in TWRP to remove magix folder. This will remove magisk completely. Or, reset system via stock recovery. Completely switch off your device. Now, press and hold volume up button and press power button. It will help you to boot in to stock recovery. Or you can follow the guide here
If you still want to flash stock firmware, this link may help.

Yes you do. But you will not loose the files and folder in internal storage like photos etc..
You have to install all user applications again.
I would suggest you to follow the thread to flash TWRP and just remove magisk folder in TWRP file manager.

You can boot in to TWRP without permanently flashing it.
Take few cautions before you attempt to boot in to TWRP using this option,
1. Remove fingerprint in security settings (settings > Security & lock screen > Fingerprint)
2. Remove screen lock PIN in settings > security & lock screen > screen lock > select NONE here and also make sure Fingerprint is not enabled in this screen
How to boot in to TWRP:
Download TWRP from here
Use the command in Fastboot > fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-15-ASUS_I01WD.img
Now you can use file manager in TWRP and remove magisk folder. You have to mount system folder to do so.

Are you able to boot in TWRP recovery as I mentioned. Please confirm.
Have you mounted system in twrp. It won't go anywhere. You should find it. I have done this several times.

Yes. I did try as well. It seems like TWRP is loading in READ ONLY mode. I doubt whether you can flash the uninstall mod as well. But worth trying as you can save all your installed apps.

yes. I can see that there is an installer (magisk module) which has to be flashed in magisk in order for TWRP to write on data partition.
In your case, you cannot boot your device with rooted image as you have a module which is causing bootloop. Catch 22 sistuation.
In this situation I think you have only one option left which is resetting your device loosing all installed apps. Sorry mate. Could not help you at this time.

Hello Smohanv,
Say I want to update to the latest Firmware that got released yesterday, and I am currently rooted via the method you introduced on the first page with firmware 16.1220.1906.174_0, how do I go about it?
If I do the Manual update, will I loose root? Or should I wait for you to release a patched one, and then do the manual update?
Thanks.

Yes you will loose root. Why do you go for build 171 when 189 is available now.
Official link: >>> https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-6-ZS630KL/HelpDesk_Download/
New build can be downloaded from here >>> Download
FIrst off many thanks to @vhercastillojr (as this thread is essentially his) and Chicken from the Vietnam telegram group for providing the RAW's/img's
********** DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I am not liable to any damage if you accidentally brick your device. This will void your warranty, if you had one. Also, using this method you won't be able to revert back to CN roms, lock your bootloader again and recieve OTAs, your device will be blacklisted by Asus ************
NOTE: To check your current fingerprint, download and install device info HW from the playstore. Under 'system' you'll find the current rom (CN or WW), the product id and fingerprint - they all need to match to be able to update your device later
NOTE 2: The main guide below skips early roms straight to last Android 9 for ROG II. For one user it didn't work and they had to use the previous, unedited guide which was based on 1910.35 RAW. If the below guide fails to update follow the additional guide at the end of this post.
----------
0) Download the ROG phone unlock tool and copy it on your phone and install it then run it. The phone will boot twice. DO NOT PRESS POWER TO STOP THE BOOT. It will wipe your data automatically. This will unlock your bootloader. EDIT: NEWER VERSION OF THE TOOL CAN BE FOUND here
NOTE: this will void your warranty, if you had one, with Asus, even if you re-lock your bootloader later... (Although, having bought mine as an import from China, I'm think the warranty only stands with the seller - in my case, 1 year, not Asus - but i may be wrong)
1) Download the WW International RAW rom from here
2) Extract the file on your PC. Boot the phone into fastboot mode (hold volume up then press and hold power button, Fastboot mode is the 1st screen you come across, the one with the options to Start, boot to recovery, etc...) connect to the side port and run "flashall_AFT.cmd" wait for it to finish and the phone will restart itself (it will take a number of minutes to complete, with the cmd window open all the time. If the cmd window only flashes up and closes down, then check the rest of the notes with this step).
NOTE: you need to remove or delete the original zip from the raw folder once extracted as it confuses the Flashall_AFT.cmd with the raw rom and zip having the same name. Also, it can help to extract to the root of C drive.
3) Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot app (windows). Install it on your PC to root of C drive
4) Download the rootww191064.img and place it in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) from here
5) Run Minimal ADB and Fastboot by double clicking ''cmd-here.exe''. Switch the phone into fastboot mode (hold volume up then press and hold power button) then type "fastboot flash boot rootww191064.img" without quotation marks
NOTE: you can also check your device is recognised in fastboot mode by the pc/laptop by running ''fastboot devices'' cmd which should show your device serial
6) Reboot the phone and connect it to PC, copy and install Magisk and Root Explorer
Magisk
root explorer
-run magisk, (update if necessary) and grant access to root explorer (after opening root explorer you should be prompted by magisk to gain root access, click 'allow')
7) Open the Root Explorer App on you phone. Then from the app, select Mount R/W to R/O. Search for "/vendor/factory" folder and Edit the file content COUNTRY from CN to WW (ALL Capital). Scroll to "/system/etc/AsusTheme/themes" then delete the hidden file to enable the hidden themes.
8) Restart the Phone. You are done. Check again with device info HW that your fingerprint has indeed been successfully changed.
From here, if you want to be on latest Android 10, download version 2004.60 from here (full zip), place it in root of internal storage and reboot. That'll bring you to A10.
NOTE: For those of you that are rooted: Download the full zip, move to root of internal storage and reboot. System will detect and prompt to update, click update. Wait until it finishes but DON'T click 'restart', instead, click 'restart later'. Go to Magisk manager. Click 'install' for Magisk. Click the last option 'install to inactive slot after OTA'. Click confirm force flash. Reboot when prompted. Done - root kept intact.
Repeat the process for latest (currently 2012.65) using the same link above. Your phone should hopefully skip the other versions and be straight to latest. If not, you'll have to go through 2007.27, 2009.49 and finally to current latest 2012.65. Repeat the process mentioned above for keeping root if so desired
----------
For anyone still running early roms that 1910.64 won't flash directly to, use the same guide above but with the following corrections:
2) Follow the exact same instructions but using this 1910.35 RAW
4) Download root and stock boot img's and extract them to Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
5) Run Minimal ADB and Fastboot by double clicking ''cmd-here.exe''. Switch the phone into fastboot mode (hold volume up then press and hold power button) then type "fastboot flash boot rootww191035.img" without quotation marks
NOTE: you can also check your device is recognised in fastboot mode by the pc/laptop by running ''fastboot devices'' cmd which should show your device serial
After doing the ammended steps above for 1910.35, follow the rest of the guide to change fingerprint, then update to 1910.64 zip, place it in root of internal storage and reboot.
NOTE: For those of you that are rooted: Download the full zip, move to root of internal storage and reboot. System will detect and prompt to update, click update. Wait until it finishes but DON'T click 'restart', instead, click 'restart later'. Go to Magisk manager. Click 'install' for Magisk. Click the last option 'install to inactive slot after OTA'. Click confirm force flash. Reboot when prompted. Done - root kept intact.
******************* Thanks to @Barbatos19, who suggested I make video. Sorry to say I wont be, BUT several of you guys have recommended THIS VIDEO as a good reference guide... Hope it helps some others *******************
Finally(!!!), apologies that this post has become cluttered with instructions, I have tried to cater for all you and all eventualities!! Good luck
Thanks for this guide bro. Fully converted from CN to WW.

One moment, I'll check the links... And yes, that is the only unlock tool available from asus website...
EDIT: yes, the zip file to download in step 4 needs to be extracted. it contains both the root boot img and stock img for later on when you unroot etc (both root and stock boot img's are for 1910.35). you need to place the rootww191035.img in the same folder as adb... and do the same for the stock boot.img for later use... read the instructions carefully...

in step 4) you download a .zip file that conatins BOTH rootww191035.img AND boot.img - the boot.img IS the stock boot for unrooting 1910.35, you need to extract both img's to adb folder on your pc.

So after you unlocked the boot loader ( see my previous post)
you can start rooting with magisk manager / patching the boot.img from the original firmware
I used this thread in order to get root ; i modified the contents so it would fit the moto phone a bit better:, but thnx goes to Ibolito over at the pixel 3 forums
1 ) Download the latest Android factory image for your device ("see this guide on where to find it.
2 ) Extract the "boot.img" file from the downloaded image and copy it to your phone.
Warning! Make absolutely sure the firmware is exactly the same as the installed one. If not, you might loose touch.
Be aware that LMSA will download the latest firmware, even if it is not yet installed. That might break your touchscreen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3 ) Download latest Magisk Manager application on your phone and install it :
Link
4 )Press on the Install Magisk button (the one on the top, not the Magisk Manager), then Install > Select and Patch a File and now select the Boot.img file you extracted earlier. When the process is done, just put the patched boot.img file on your computer in the same folder as your ADB and FASTBOOT tools, the file's name is magisk_patched.img
edit: i received a comment that the name might be something like Magisk_patched_somerandomletters_.img since the latest magisk update
5 ) Enable adb debugging on your phone and connect it to your computer via USB.
Open a command prompt on your computer and migrate to the folder where the ADB and Fastboot tools are located.
(for exemple, for me it's : cd C:\adb).
7 ) Reboot your phone to fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader
8 ) Flash the Boot.img you just patched with magisk by typing fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
extra: You could test a single boot with that image by typing "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
if it boots fine you should have root for this single boot / magisk would show as installed.
9 ) When it's done, reboot by typing fastboot reboot
10 ) Open your Magisk Manager app and check if everything is good, and it should be
extra info:
I did worry a bit because the original boot.img is 64 megs , while the patched version is only 12
but i went with it, and it was fine.
good luck to you all
Edit: rewritten entire post so it would look more like a guide, and extra warning because a lot of people seem to loose touch if they don't have the exact same firmware downloaded as on their phone.
Thanks for posting this. I unlocked my bootloader and would like to root like you did.
Do you install magisk first on your phone, then get the magisk_patched file from your phone? Or is the magisk_patched file obtained somewhere else?

You need to install the magisk manager
In magisk manager you can click on "install (magisk)"--> "by patching a file"
then you select the file to be patched ( extracted from the original rom )
after that you can copy the patched file from your phone back to the pc and install it via fastboot.
After that magisk is installed
i hope you succeed

The firmware I see is the EU firmware. I don't see the GB firmware in the link you posted (it's RETGB). Any idea where I can find the correct firmware?

@zuggi_m , how does posting the same url help?
i don't see a retgb here ....
Maybe someone with more dev experience can tell if you need the exact same firmware or if the version numbers are the same it is ok to use that file ?
No fastbootd?
One Hyper needs fastbootd in order to flash boot and root

i don't really understand the question i guess,
a magisk patched boot is flashed via fastboot. after that you have magisk installed and root access.

Yours should be G8 Power (9)
Native Android 10 uses fastbootd to flash boot, dtbo, and recovery

maybe i'm missing your point here, my description is just so people who have to figure it out can just use my steps to get root, it is indeed based on fastboot flashing . so i'm not sure what you are trying to say, or am i misinterpreting something?

I did root on One Hyper (shipped with Android 10) using fastbootd method
Used old method soft brick my One Hyper
That's why I'd like to know

so after you unlocked the boot loader ( see my previous post)
you can start rooting with magisk manager / patching the boot.img from the original firmware
I used this thread in order to get root
you need to download the firmware for our device,
That can be found here;
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofiar/official/RETEU/
after that, extract, patch, fastboot install patched version, done.
I did have some issues with the current magisk manager ( from highonandroid, i did find another source, installed version 7.5.1 of the magisk manager from this source
and that one was able to patch the boot.img
I did worry a bit because the original boot.img is 64 megs , while the patched version is only 12
but i went with it, and it was fine.
good luck to you all

There's a head up
US version: Sofia
The rest: Sofiar
I will buy US G Power in May and let's the fun begin
Check out One Hyper general to install Dolby Atmos and it can be toggle on/off.
Has anyone tried copying something to the root of the phone or making build.prop edits? I have the Stylus and have achieved root using the same method, however there is something not quite right with the permissions. I cannot make changes to any root files.

So you should know G Stylus ROM is Sofiap.
Be aware the way Android 10 flashing is different.
Download and install the latest ADB in order to access fastbootd (fastboot reboot fastboot) and flash boot, recovery, dtbo, vbmeta, and super
Hmmmm, I will have to read more about fastbootd in your other thread.
I did use the boot.img for the sofiap.
Hello,
I followed all the instructions in the first post and was able unlock the bootloader, install magisk, and use it to make the magisk_patched.img file from a boot.img file.
The only variation, was that I got my boot.img file from mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofia/official/RETUS/XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPM30.80-13-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip since my phone is a US retail model.
After flashing, the phone boots up properly but the touchscreen does not work.
The side buttons do work and I was able to reboot into recovery. In recovery, the build on the phone is indicated as QPM30.80-51. The build in the above indicated file is QPM30.80-13-2. Could this be the source of the problem?
I have tried flashing the original boot.img (from the file above) back and the touchscreen still does not work. I have also tried “wipe data/factory reset” in recovery.

maybe try with the "correct" firmware? ( not sure if the minor diference changes anything, but you could try....
i found it here:

Thanks for finding this link.
Unfortunately i am not able to download this for some reason. I get an access denied error message.
edit:
I was able to find the most recent firmware here:
github.com/AndroidDumps/motorola_sofia_dump/tree/sofia_retail-user-10-QPM30.80-51-bd0b4-release-keys
I downloaded just the boot.img file and flashed it. That fixed the touchscreen issue. I then used magisk to batch the boot.img and I now have root.
Just to be clear, this worked on a US retail moto g power purchased unlocked from best buy. The phone model number is XT2041-4.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded the kernel and waiting for the unit.
I can flash full ROM with fastboot and fastbootd, but just flashing kernel would be much faster.
Moreover, check One Hyper general to get Dolby Atmos because you can turn on and off anytime you want.
