Not working, bootloop. To fix bootloop, need to flash original boot.img - need to put original boot.img from ROM we have in adb folder and run command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Before posting such tutorials I suggest to check is it even working, because on chinese version of device this will NOT WORK.

Yeah yeah, OP added it after my post. And it's not true - should work also on EU version.

When signing up for this website you sign a waiver that you are the sole person responsible for your device. Bootloops too.
Don't wanna have it bricked ? Don't mess with it.
Nobody's telling you to do that.
How about some gratitude and appreciation for those who take the time and trouble looking for a solution. Sponging off others work and whingening about it ?
Show some manners.

What time, what solution?! Method posted by OP for this device is known for weeks already... And its just copied solution from other tutorials for older Xiaomi phones... I can bet that OP even didn't check it and I won't be surprised if he even don't have this phone... Besides, I still don't have solid proof that it works, even on global/EU version of device.

in the end this tutorial is working or not on global?

[Guide] Root Galaxy A10 Magisk prenormal rmm/kg state (October Patch- later)

Hi All this is just a quick tutorial to help you all root your devices, on later firmwares
This 100% works ive done it over and over without any problems. I am currently on october patch latest firmware for my A105FN. As you may know Samsung have now added extra security meaning even if you have already unlocked your bootloader after you patch the firmware with magisk, flash patched firmware and reboot you will be greeted with that dreadfull message, Only official binaries allowed and your device will be locked and wont boot untill you reflash stock firmware again. The below will help get you out of the prenormal kg state, and save's you a 7 days waiting period as we dont have any TWRP available for our device at this time. Also note due to the extra security magisk cant be flashed with the whole firmware no more, as each time you flash the firmware your back at square 1.
Note: You will need 7-zip - google is your freind
1. Download odin: https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-13-3.
2. download the latest stock firmware for your device via SamMobile
3. Download latest Magisk Manager - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/amp/
4. Flash latest firmware via odin and let device boot up and finish setting up.
5. Grab Your Firmware AP_A105FXXXX.tar.md5 remove the md5 so its a tar file makes it easier to work with. Copy it to your device storage.
6. Install latest magisk manager, and open check advanced settings to make sure recovery is checked, select install image / patch image and select the AP file you put on your device, magisk will patch and save as magisk_patched on your internal storage. Copy this back to your pc and extract it.
7. Download this https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4818715&d=1568308074 thanks to @droidzer1 and extract the vbmeta.img.
8. Make a new folder on you pc it's temporary so you know where your files are. From the Ap magisk_patch.tar you extracted, copy the boot.img, recovery.img, and the downloaded vbmeta.img from step 7. And place them in the new folder you created, using your mouse select all 3 and right click select 7-zip add to archive, select tar format and name it magisk.tar.
9. Now we have all the files ready back to your device, if your bootloader is already unlocked skip this step and move to the next. For those that havent unlocked there bootloader go to settings - about phone - Software Information - tap multiple times on "Build number" - This will open developer option.
Now in settings at the end, you will have new option "Developer options" - look for OEM unlocking - Enable it, if the OEM switch is not there proceed to step 10. If it is and you enabled it it might ask you to factory reset if not it will be this way to complete the unlock bootloader.......
switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode, long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
10. Remove any account you have on your device go to settings, look for time and date automatic time zones, turn it off and set date back 8 days from now (example 30th today change date to 22nd) restart device. Now go straight back into automatic time zones settings and turn it back on. Again reboot device, when device reboots turn it off. You can now enter download mode and it should say checking instead of prenormal that means you good to go. Those of you that had no OEM switch in developer mode please now check.... if it's there enable it and go back to step 10 unlocking bootloader then proceed to step 11.
11. Open odin and select in the ap tab the magisk.tar you created earlier. Plug in your usb whilst holding vol-up and vol-down together to boot into download, press vol-up to proceed. Press start on odin and soon as it finishes and device reboots and you see the bootloader message hold power and vol-up until into stock recovery, select wipe factory reset then select reboot device, this the same as soon as you see bootloader unlocked message hold power and the vol-up together this time count to 7.... and release. Phone wont boot it will go blackscreen and reboot, dont worry this is normal, again do the exact same at bootloader unlocked msg screen hold power and vol-up count to 7... release, now phone will boot and you can set it up.
Note: you will need to reinstall magisk manager and on 1st open it will ask do to additional setup, let it do its thing, then device will reboot,
Remeber every time your device reboots you will have to do the power and vol-up to boot system with root.
I hope this guide help you and a big thank you to @afaneh92 for his original guide

No the twrp that was made for our device, wont work with new versions of magisk, or any newer firmware we are going to have to wait until the the new kernel source is released by samsung unfortunatly, its impossible to say when or if they do.... so its just root for now.

Hello
Mohd Masab
It's my first Samsung .I had 4-5 Sony ,easy to root ,a Doogee S90 (NEVER BUY THAT !).
Is your method safe ,have U seen bad effects ,what fonctions did U lost ?
Bye .
Fred

Okay, so I completed the whole process, here are my observations:
The method provided above almost works. The problem is, that everytime you reboot to system when you are not rooted, TWRP will encrypt your files. So the solution is, that you have to format data and then install dm_verity and Magisk after each other, without a reboot! After that, you can boot to your system and set up your phone.

I did what you said but still encrypts after reboot. Latest Magisk.

Hi, I am having problems with internal storage, I can not create folders and there are applications that I can not download, any solution?

Could someone tell me if it is compatible with the November update CTK1?
I have managed to root the phone, you can install everything and configure it, but after turning off the phone, I can't start it does bootloop, and it returns to the prompt "The phone is not running Smasung official software ..." never finishes starting? What do you recommend me to do?
020221
I reloaded the original rom and did the procedure again, taking into account the clarification of installing install dm_verity and Magisk after each other, without a reboot, and everything went well!

Hello abraxasboot !
So,for you ,the only problem was that U had to flash the files one after the other without rebooting ?
No other problem since that ?
Is the phone reacting well ?
Where did U find the official rom ?

Hello abraxasboot !
So,for you ,the only problem was that U had to flash the files one after the other without rebooting ?
No other problem since that ?
Is the phone reacting well ?
Where did U find the official rom ?
Thanks and have a good day !

I was unable to flash and reboot into TWRP recovery after applying the official Samsung update from March, which updates Android from 10 to 11. Reboot into recovery would not work and I would always end in a boot loop.
I had to downgrade to Samsung's official Android 10 and used the binaries from January for that: https://samfrew.com/es/model/SM-A515F
After that, flashed TWRP again and was able to boot into recovery right away as it should be

If I follow the steps and flash twrp-a51-3.5.0_10-1_ianmacd.tar file using Odin I get an message:
'Only official release binaries are allowed to be flashed (RECOVERY)
The phone was recently purchased from Samsung official store, and has android 10 official firmware from feb 1st installed
Any clue please?

hey guys i used a lyf wind 1 to flash lineage os using twrp ..... so i wiped the previous os and unknowingly flashed another unsupported version of twrp ...when entering to recovery menu its all blank .... now i have no os and recovery ...... i couldnt flash stock rom because my device is not recognised as qualcomm port .............
pls any help ????

I have a working 11R twrp and all the DRM passers mejestics etc. to run.. you can boot the os after that that is the standard Samsung OS. np u can install LINAGE os 18.1 Andys march release, the Mejestics meaning u can patch root without Needing to part the orignal Firm and copy boot.img over. etc
Here is Link With GSI as Well and 2.5 GUI Twrp working and UI3.0

Spoiler: Passing Safetynet (For Android 12 and Below
Keep in mind that Safetynet is deprecated and Google is encouraging developers to switch to Play Integrity API. To pass safetynet you need to have 3 checkmarks, as such you'll need to follow all 3 instructions I'm about to give you.
Spoiler: Evaluation Type Basic
Disable "Spoof Pixel 5" & Enable Safetynet in phh options then reboot.
Download YASNAC from play store and check for "Evaluation Type" from result.
If it says Basic and others fail you can skip this part.
If test fails or doesn't finish do these:
Install Magisk
Enable Zygisk & Enforce denylist
Install Universal SafetyNet Fix module by kdrag0n
Now check YASNAC again. It should finish test and say Basic in evaluation type.
Spoiler: Basic Integrity Fail
This happens because root is detected most of the time.
If your GSI has Dynamic Root, uncheck root from phh settings.
If your GSI has SU, securize from phh settings.
If you had to flash magisk because of evaluation type, tick google play and google play services in denylist.
If those didn't fix, contact GSI maintainer.
Spoiler: CTS Profile Match Fail
This happens because build fingerprint is not play certified.
Make sure you have safetynet option ticked in phh settings and do these:
Edit /data/adb/phh/secure
Add these 2 lines to bottom:
resetprop_phh ro.build.fingerprint HUAWEI/ANE-LX1/HWANE:9/HUAWEIANE-L01/9.1.0.368C432:user/release-keys
resetprop_phh ro.build.version.security_patch 2020-08-01
Reboot and test again.
Everytime you untick safetynet you have to edit this file again. You can also pick any other fingerprint from here should you choose to. You need both fingerprint and patch date. If you want to simulate other devices add following lines:
resetprop_phh ro.product.brand HUAWEI
resetprop_phh ro.product.device HWANE
resetprop_phh ro.product.manufacturer HUAWEI
resetprop_phh ro.product.model ANE-LX1
resetprop_phh ro.product.name ANE-LX1
Spoiler: Passing Play Integrity (For Android 13 and Beyond)
If you want to pass it you're going to have to read this wall of text. I can't shorten it.
What is Play Integrity:
Google enforces Play Inregrity once your api level is set to 33 (android 13). I currently don't have enough information about it other than apps can decide which checks to perform on your device. One of those checks is called strong integrity. We can't pass strong integrity because it requires hardware backed checks which our device lack. However you can still fool some apps that don't enforce strong integrity.
How you can fool it:
Ever since magisk retired magiskhide, some forks have been made to keep it maintained and improved. One of those forks is Magisk Delta. Before you head over to it's github and install it, you still need to install a valid CTS fingerprint. Then you can install Magisk Delta.
Steps:
Disable Spoof Pixel 5 & Enable Safetynet from phh settings if they exist.
Add these 2 lines to bottom of /data/adb/phh/secure (create if it doesnt exist) & Reboot
resetprop_phh ro.build.fingerprint HUAWEI/ANE-LX1/HWANE:9/HUAWEIANE-L01/9.1.0.368C432:user/release-keys
resetprop_phh ro.build.version.security_patch 2020-08-01
If you have magisk :
- Download Magisk Delta apk
- Change .apk to .zip
- Install it as magisk module
If you don't have magisk :
- Download & install Magisk Delta apk
- Patch recovery_ramdisk & flash it via fastboot
Enable Zygisk and MagiskHide from Magisk Delta App
Install this module : https://github.com/HuskyDG/safetynet-integrity-fix/releases
MAKE SURE GMS IS NOT IN HIDELIST
Reboot and test safetynet. (Feel free to link any app that tests for Play Integrity)
Spoiler: I went back to EMUI, why it looks like aosp?
That happens because EMUI stores it's themes and few stock apps in /data/hw_init folder. When you factory reset with stock recovery, they are preserved. But when you use twrp to factory reset they are removed. Doing factory reset once from twrp is enough to make EMUI think it's corrupted, in acuality it isn't. To fix it you can either let EMUI update from system settings or you can download this, extract hw_init folder and push folder to /data from twrp with this command :
adb push drag & drop hw_init folder to console /data
Flashing LineageOS 16.0​Note:​Stock kernel from EMUI .300> have trouble with wifi. Use Phenix 4.9.319 or above to fix it.

They are from .401 c432.
If you wiped /data once you probably won't have emui themes etc if you go back to emui. To fix that you can push hw_init folder (in data.7z) to /data. Not the contents of it, just put the folder in root of /data. It should be like this: /data/hw_init
Spoiler: Hisuite
Connect your phone to pc and open up hisuite. Check for updates and if it finds one it'll download following files update_full_base.zip, update_full_ANE-L01_hw_eu.zip and update_full_cust_ANE-L01_hw_eu.zip to your documents folder. update_full_base.zip file contains main UPDATE.APP. You can extract images from it with Huawei Update Extractor
Spoiler: EMUI's System Updater
Flash magisk patched image from quick links. After you get root in EMUI allow system updater to do its job and update. It'll ask to reboot, allow it. It will throw you back to system after reboot because recovery is not stock. Get a file manager that allows root access. Allow system updater to download again. But this time do not allow it to reboot. First one downloaded OTA, second one downloaded FullOTA. Which is better for archival purposes. After download is done go to /data/update with a root file explorer. Copy HwOUC folder to internal storage and from there to your pc. There should be 3 folders with numbers. You can find our main update_full_base.zip in one of them.
Spoiler: Downgrading
Spoiler: From EMUI 9 to EMUI 9
Spoiler: Using just the SYSTEM.IMG
Get files of your prefered build. I recommend build .278. Extract SYSTEM.IMG from UPDATE.APP via huawei update extractor and flash it with fastboot flash system . Factory reset with stock recovery then flash any TWRP except for the official ones. Official TWRPs freezes when wiping /data which is what we need to do. After wiping /data boot into system. You should have aosp background with square app icons if you did correctly. Check for system updates and it should find your current build. Download and install.
Spoiler: Using dload from Certain Russian Site
BOOTLOADER WILL RELOCK, DON'T DO THIS IF YOU DON't HAVE YOUR BL CODE
For this you need to have a sd card that is formated as exfat. Fat32 doesn't allow >4gb files so exfat is required. Download your prefered build from Androidhost.ru or mega link above. Inside the zip file you'll find a folder named dload. Extract this folder to somewhere and transfer it to your sd card. Folder structure should look like below. Hw_eu and L01/L21 will depend on your region and single/dual sim status. After this unplug your phone and shut it down. Start pressing vol- vol+ and power all at the same time. Different kind of yellow warning will appear and a screen with blue progress bar over black background will appear. If you downloaded correct variant for your phone it'll start progressing. After process is done you'll boot into stock emui with NO yellow warning. This is because your bootloader is locked. Do whatever you want at this point but remember, unlocking bootloader again will low level factory reset your phone.
-/storage/AAAA-BBBB/dload
---/update_sd
---/ANE-L01_hw_eu
---/ANE-L21_hw_eu
Spoiler: From EMUI 9 to EMUI 8
If I recall correctly there is only one way to do this. You can't dload between emui versions. You also need to be on stock emui for hisuite to function. Some people say a specific hisuite version is required but it wasn't the case for me. Plug your phone to pc, hisuite should show up beside your phone in drives section. Install it and open it. Do whatever it instructs you to function correctly. After you see your phone in app click Update button. Then click on "Earlier Versions". It'll show version 8.0.0.167 along with some warnings. Rest it pretty straightforward. Follow along and it'll return you back to emui 8. But if you're doing this to unlock your bootloader, build .167 is not enough. Exploit that dc-unlocker uses is patched in this version. So you have to roll back further. I had success with .125 build but up until .150 could work. Link to .125 build.

Getting Stock Firmware Files And Downgrading​Prerequisites:​
Unlocked Bootloader and FRP
adb and fastboot installed on pc
Huawei Update Extractor
Firmware Zip (EMUI8 and EMUI9)
HiSuite
Erecovery
EMUI's System Updater (via root)
HuRUpdater Guide / HuRUpdater Download
HwOTA
Getting stock files are problematic because of huawei. Least shadiest way to get them are the hardest so bear with me.
Androidhost.ru : Click the EMUI9 from prerequisites and search p20 lite. You should get a wide variety of versions to pick from. Make sure to match the Cust in the file to yours if you don't know what you're doing. C432 for Europe for example. After you download the zip file open it up and find the dload folder. You can either get this folder and paste it right into your sd card to force dload or you can open this folder and extract update_sd.zip. Inside update_sd.zip you'll find a file named UPDATE.APP. Use Huawei Update Extractor to open this file and there you'll see all the partitions you need. If HUE gives error while opening it, go to settings and untick "Verify file checksum". You can extract .img files by right clicking and selecting extract option on each partition. Normally you can't open these .img files but after pushing them through simg2img you'll be able to explore them too. But lets be real if you need guides for this, all you need is recovery_ramdis.img.
Using Dload Folder : Your sd card can't be FAT32 for this. FAT32 by nature don't allow files larger than 4gb so you can't get this folder to your sd card. Format it to ExFat via any guide on the internet then copy the dload folder to your sd card's root. It can't be inside any folders. Then shut your phone and press Power + Vol+ + Vol- all at the same time. It'll boot to erecovery which'll check the integrity of files then install them regardless of your EMUI version. So it is a good way to downgrade. Keep in mind tho you can't dload back to emui 8 from emui 9. And any successful dload will lock your bootloader back.
Hisuite : You can actually get firmware files pretty easily with hisuite but it requires real work. You see, hisuite downloads firmware files right into your documents folder. Connect your phone to pc and open up hisuite. Check for updates and if it finds one it'll download following files update_full_base.zip, update_full_ANE-L01_hw_eu.zip and update_full_cust_ANE-L01_hw_eu.zip. It might not get all 3 files most of the time so you have to copy each of them and update a few versions consecutively to get them. Keep in mind, it deletes each update file after it is successful so make sure to make a copy of them some place else. I recommend reverting back to EMUI8 through hisuite and then updating it to latest one to get all files. It is tidious but you need to do this once. It doesnt update you to .370 from .132. It'll send you .132 then .200 then .368 then latest whatever. You can actually use these files with HuRu updater or HwOTA to manually update. Or you can get the UPDATE.APP inside them and extract images with Huawei Update Extractor.
Erecovery : This one requires some network knowledge and it'll only get you the latest version so I don't think it worth the hassle. You need a router that allows you to change dns address for DHCP clients. Which most of them do these days. Now you need to create and run a dns server on your pc. I recommend adguard home. Pihole works too. Use Windows Subsystem For Linux or Docker to install either of them. Once you get them up and working set them to log dns requests. I believe you know where this is going. Open your router's interface and enter adguard home/pihole ip address which maps back to your pc's local address. Check if it works or not by opening up few sites on your phone which should be connected to your wifi and isn't set up to use a different dns server. If all is good open up erecovery on your phone and connect to your wifi. If you set it up correctly it should get the latest version from huawei which will show up on your log. Use that url to download it to your pc and extract it same as others. There was a paid service that used this method to send specific versions to your erecovery.
EMUI's System Updater : This is tricky and my favorite. Get the official TWRP .img and patch it with magisk manager. Then flash it via fastboot. I know, "twrp and magisk? wtf?" just do it. It takes a long time to boot but it works don't question me right now. After you get root in EMUI allow system updater to do its job and update. It'll ask to reboot, allow it. It will throw you back to system after reboot cuz recovery is hijacked. duh. Get a file manager that allows root access. Allow system updater to download again. But this time do not allow it to reboot. First one downloaded OTA, second one downloaded FullOTA. Which is better for archival purposes. After download is done search for a folder named HwOUC in /system. Copy it to internal storage and from there to your pc. You can find our main UPDATE.APP inside update_full_base.zip. Other zips include cust and all that which HuRu and HwOTA requires.
Magisk​Prerequisites:​
Unlocked Bootloader and FRP
adb and fastboot installed on pc
Stock recovery_ramdis.img
Notes:​Officially speaking magisk support for our device is dead. Magisk decided to retire magisk-in-recovery method which our phone uses. But hey it is still working without modifications unlike a-only devices so that's a win. As a foot note, you CAN use twrp image instead of stock recovery_ramdis.img but it'll take longer to boot. Using .380's recovery_ramdis.img on .278 build will not work. Make sure to match your EMUI build with ramdisk you're flashing. Ask me how I know.
Steps to install older version:​
Get the Prerequisites
No, I mean literally just get the Prerequisites and thats it
Open up your browser and find a bin service (pastebin will suffice)
Create a paste with following
Code:
{
"app": {
"version": "8.0.7",
"versionCode": "4834",
"link": "https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v8.0.7/MagiskManager-v8.0.7.apk",

}
}
Get the paste's raw url
Take the recovery_ramdis.img to internal storage
Install magisk manager 8.0.7
Open it's settings and select custom channel
Write the raw url you just created
Allow it to check for updates and it'll find that 21.4 is the latest version
Click install and select recovery_ramdis.img
After it finishes patching get the magisk_patched.img to your pc
Get your phone to fastboot mode
After connecting to pc, write this fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk to console and drag magisk_patched.img over to console and press enter
Now if you enter recovery it'll boot to android with magisk but if you boot normally it will not detect magisk so each time you restart you have to use Power + Vol+ combo in order to get magisk
Remember to switch custom channel to stable channel if you want to receive updates.
I know that you can pretty much reduce the amount of flashing and restarting by flashing twrp to erecovery but since erecovery is a lifeline for most people here I decided not to get into that. But for those who are interested check this thread.​

I wish good luck to those who will use your guide .

Among other things, the HwOTA and HuRupdater methods have not worked since February (unless someone has the necessary files stored on the disk). Huawei changed servers and Firmware Finder is dead.
EMUI 8 firmware download doesn't work for the same reasons .

Getting Stock Firmware Files And Downgrading​Prerequisites:​
Unlocked Bootloader and FRP
adb and fastboot installed on pc
Huawei Update Extractor
Firmware Zips
HiSuite
Erecovery
EMUI's System Updater (via root)
HuRUpdater Guide / HuRUpdater Download (don't work anymore)
HwOTA (don't work anymore)
Getting stock files are problematic because of huawei. Least shadiest way to get them are the hardest so bear with me.
Androidhost.ru : Click the "Firmware Zips" from prerequisites and search p20 lite. You should get a wide variety of versions to pick from. Make sure to match the Cust in the file to yours. C432 for Europe for example. After you download the zip file open it up and find a folder named "dload". You can either get this folder and paste it right into your sd card to force dload or you can open this folder and extract update_sd.zip. Inside update_sd.zip you'll find a file named UPDATE.APP. Use Huawei Update Extractor to open this file and there you'll see all the partitions you need. If HUE gives error while opening it, go to settings and untick "Verify file checksum". You can extract .img files by right clicking and selecting extract option on each partition. Normally you can't open these .img files but after pushing them through simg2img you'll be able to explore them too. But lets be real if you need guides for this, all you need is recovery_ramdis.img.
Using Dload Folder : Your sd card can't be FAT32 for this. FAT32 by nature don't allow files larger than 4gb so you can't get this folder to your sd card. Format it to ExFat via any guide on the internet then copy the dload folder to your sd card's root. It can't be inside any folders. Then shut your phone and press Power + Vol+ + Vol- all at the same time. It'll boot to erecovery which'll check the integrity of files then install them regardless of your EMUI version. So it is a good way to downgrade. Keep in mind tho you can't dload back to emui 8 from emui 9. And any successful dload will lock your bootloader back.
Hisuite : You can actually get firmware files pretty easily with hisuite but it requires real work. You see, hisuite downloads firmware files right into your documents folder. Connect your phone to pc and open up hisuite. Check for updates and if it finds one it'll download following files update_full_base.zip, update_full_ANE-L01_hw_eu.zip and update_full_cust_ANE-L01_hw_eu.zip. You only need update_full_base.zip file, others are used to work on HuRUpdater and HwOTA but they are deprecated since February. Inside update_full_base.zip you'll find UPDATE.APP which you can extract images from with Huawei Update Extractor.
Erecovery : This one requires some network knowledge and it'll only get you the latest version so I don't think it worth the hassle. You need a router that allows you to change dns address for DHCP clients. Which most of them do these days. Now you need to create and run a dns server on your pc. I recommend adguard home. Pihole works too. Use Windows Subsystem For Linux or Docker to install either of them. Once you get them up and working set them to log dns requests. I believe you know where this is going. Open your router's interface and enter adguard home/pihole ip address which maps back to your pc's local address. Check if it works or not by opening up few sites on your phone which should be connected to your wifi and isn't set up to use a different dns server. If all is good open up erecovery on your phone and connect to your wifi. If you set it up correctly it should get the latest version from huawei which will show up on your log. Use that url to download it to your pc and extract it same as others. There was a paid service that used this method to send specific versions to your erecovery.
EMUI's System Updater : This is tricky and my favorite. Get the official TWRP .img and patch it with magisk manager. Then flash it via fastboot. I know, "twrp and magisk? wtf?" just do it. It takes a long time to boot but it works don't question me right now. After you get root in EMUI allow system updater to do its job and update. It'll ask to reboot, allow it.

Oh, man! Are you serious?

I don't know what anyone expects from a guide... Is it better to just repeat the same thing over and over again? "Flash system with fastboot, factory reset with stock recovery, flash and boot twrp, resize system, flash gapps" is literally the summary of this. That summary is what you'll get as an answer if you ask for help on any telegram group. Instead of saying flash twrp, I wrote how you can flash twrp. Thats why it's so long. This guide is for "how" not "what".

I would say that even so far, people have managed to install GSI, Magisk, etc. .
Btw, Recovery and eRecovery are the same for all models and build numbers . They are even compatible with LLD and BND models.

Frax3r said:
Thats why it's so long

It is long because because of procedures that are too complicated, e.g. chapter "Disable Encryption" .
It is long because of duplicate procedures, e.g. chapter "Flashing Any GSI".
Sorry but Chapter "Magisk" is useless. Nowadays nobody needs to install the old Magisk. Rather focus on some of the nuances of installing Magisk on EMUI 9.1 that would be helpful.

Getting stock files are problematic because of huawei. Least shadiest way to get them are the hardest so bear with me.
Androidhost.ru : Click the "Firmware Zips" from prerequisites and search p20 lite. You should get a wide variety of versions to pick from. Make sure to match the Cust in the file to yours. C432 for Europe for example. After you download the zip file open it up and find a folder named "dload".

Inside update_full_base.zip you'll find UPDATE.APP which you can extract images from with Huawei Update Extractor.
Erecovery : This one requires some network knowledge and it'll only get you the latest version so I don't think it worth the hassle. You need a router that allows you to change dns address for DHCP clients. Which most of them do these days. Now you need to create and run a dns server on your pc. I recommend adguard home. Pihole works too. Use Windows Subsystem For Linux or Docker to install either of them. Once you get them up and working set them to log dns requests. I believe you know where this is going. Open your router's interface and enter adguard home/pihole ip address which maps back to your pc's local address. Check if it works or not by opening up few sites on your phone which should be connected to your wifi and isn't set up to use a different dns server. If all is good open up erecovery on your phone and connect to your wifi. If you set it up correctly it should get the latest version from huawei which will show up on your log. Use that url to download it to your pc and extract it same as others. There was a paid service that used this method to send specific versions to your erecovery.
EMUI's System Updater : This is tricky and my favorite. Get the official TWRP .img and patch it with magisk manager. Then flash it via fastboot. I know, "twrp and magisk? wtf?" just do it. It takes a long time to boot but it works don't question me right now. After you get root in EMUI allow system updater to do its job and update. It'll ask to reboot, allow it. It will throw you back to system after reboot cuz recovery is hijacked. duh. Get a file manager that allows root access. Allow system updater to download again. But this time do not allow it to reboot. First one downloaded OTA, second one downloaded FullOTA. Which is better for archival purposes. After download is done search for a folder named HwOUC in /system. Copy it to internal storage and from there to your pc. You can find our main UPDATE.APP inside update_full_base.zip. Other zips include cust and all that which HuRu and HwOTA used to require.
Magisk​Prerequisites:​
Unlocked Bootloader and FRP
adb and fastboot installed on pc
Stock recovery_ramdis.img
Notes:​Officially speaking magisk support for our device is dead. Magisk decided to retire magisk-in-recovery method which our phone uses. But hey it is still working without modifications unlike a-only devices so that's a win. New installer for magisk kinda broken for our device, because of that I recommend installing and booting an older version. It's safe to update it afterwards from magisk manager. As a foot note, you CAN use twrp image instead of stock recovery_ramdis.img but it'll take longer to boot. Using .380's recovery_ramdis.img on .278 build will not work. Make sure to match your EMUI build with ramdisk you're flashing. Ask me how I know.
Steps to install older version:​
Get the Prerequisites
No, I mean literally just get the Prerequisites and thats it
Open up your browser and find a bin service (pastebin will suffice)
Create a paste with following
Code:
{
"app": {
"version": "8.0.7",
"versionCode": "4834",
"link": "https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v8.0.7/MagiskManager-v8.0.7.apk",
"note": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/topjohnwu/[email protected]/app/src/main/res/raw/changelog.md"
},
"stub": {
"versionCode": "18",
"link": "https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v8.0.7/stub-release.apk"
},
"uninstaller": {
"link": "https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v21.4/Magisk-uninstaller-20210117.zip"
},
"magisk": {
"version": "v21.4",
"versionCode": "21400",
"link": "https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v21.4/Magisk-v21.4.zip",
"note": "https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/releases/21400.md",
"md5": "ee6dd05579776e7de3a6077087846e53"
}
}
Get the paste's raw url
Take the recovery_ramdis.img to internal storage
Install magisk manager 8.0.7
Open it's settings and select custom channel
Write the raw url you just created
Allow it to check for updates and it'll find that 21.4 is the latest version
Click install and select recovery_ramdis.img
After it finishes patching get the magisk_patched.img to your pc
Get your phone to fastboot mode
After connecting to pc, write this fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk to console and drag magisk_patched.img over to console and press enter
Now if you enter recovery it'll boot to android with magisk but if you boot normally it will not detect magisk so each time you restart you have to use Power + Vol+ combo in order to get magisk
Remember to switch custom channel to stable channel if you want to receive updates.
I know that you can pretty much reduce the amount of flashing and restarting by flashing twrp to erecovery but since erecovery is a lifeline for most people here I decided not to get into that. But for those who are interested check this thread.​

People use gapps versions because they don't want to waste time by flashing zips. That's why it's 2 part. Gapps one is shorter.

Magisk-in-recovery as in "magisk hijacking recovery" not "installing magisk using recovery". You can't even find huawei section in it's installation instructions. Look here and here. As for the nuance you asked, installing magisk in EMUI is literally same as installing it in GSI or LOS. You patch the image, flash the image, boot the image.

I added "ask me how I know" part for a reason. I tried. You CAN patch official twrp with magisk and it WILL boot. If a person unlocks their bootloader for the first time how is he supposed to get stock recovery_ramdis.img? Get the mmcblock of recovery_ramdisk? How is he supposed to do that if he flashes twrp over to recovery_ramdisk partition? We can't use "fastboot boot" so that's out of option. Use a different recovery_ramdis.img you might say. I TRIED. .380's recovery_ramdis.img patched with latest magisk won't boot if you're at .278. I created a folder where I patched .380 recovery with each different version of magisk starting from 20.4 up to latest version and none of them booted on los 16 which was installed upon .278. It is not universal as you might think.

Care to elaborate? I am open to constructive criticism. As for what I know, I do know that you won't find yourself bootlooping if you follow these steps by the letter. I saw your instructions on los 16 and other threads too. Here's a criticism for you, do not tell people to wipe /data or factory reset with twrps and especially do not expect them to flash twrp over to erecovery. Wiping /data or factory reset from twrp always resulted in phone freezing for me. I guess twrp in erecovery could fix freezing but there's a reason why they are asking for help and you expect them to overwrite their only lifeline. 1-2 extra rebooting and flashing won't hurt anyone. When you wipe /data or factory reset with most twrps, including official one, some folders that needs to be untouched (huawei am i right) gets deleted. So you have to use stock recovery_ramdis.img or an advanced twrp which compansates it. Check the tishserg's twrp for example. I use that not the official twrp for these things. And it can write to erecovery which is exactly why I didn't advocate on using it in this guide. Have a good day...

Use recommended TWRP, not 3.4.0. and above, which is not fully compatible with hi6250 devices (including official one). Did you know?
Btw, I never advised anyone to do a factory reset in TWRP, on the contrary

Yes you said that here. However my own experience says otherwise. Before my current los 16 installation I used official 3.5.2. Flashed los, flashed stock recovery, flashed phenix kernel, flashed gapps all from it. I even used nano from adb shell to edit fstab.hi6250. I used backup and restore only on kernel partition but it was successful anyway. What that incompatibility be? Is it boot override thing? If you have twrp in recovery and send reboot to recovery from android it just keeps booting to twrp in each reboot even tho you select otherwise from twrp's reboot menu. BTW tishserg's twrp have an option to remove that override if you find yourself in that loop. As for factory reset part, you said format /data here. We had a discussion here because of that. My bad on reading wrong. While writing this I realised incompatibility is probably about formating /data on twrp 3.4.0 and above. If that is the case I'll update the post. Good thing I didn't tell people to format /data from twrp. My steps might be long but they are correct. It is wrong to call all this a nonsense.
Everyone might know it is possible to install latest magisk but not everyone knows how to install an older version now that magisk's future is uncertain. After magisk removes magiskhide from its code people are gonna wanna go back to latest version that worked while waiting for module version of it. Patching twrp image with magisk is highlight of this post but it is literally what flashing magisk.zip (.apk to .zip) from twrp does with the latest version. If patching twrp is bad then why is my guide to installing an older version, which allows you to select which image to patch, is the target? + With that .json, you can make magisk manager patch the image with your own modified version of magisk should you upload it somewhere and change the links.

Hi,
I'm building trying to port Ubuntu Touch to this device and I'm running into a few challenges. I have already reverted to stock 2 times and re-unlocked the bootloader (starting from EMUI 9). So far I have only flashed recovery_ramdisk with twrp as I was worried I might not be able to revert to stock if I flashed erecovery.
Question 1: Is this correct or a misunderstanding?
Installing Ubuntu Touch requires the data partition to be formatted to ext4. I can do that from twrp, but someone (maybe you) wrote that wiping the data partition with twrp was liable to create trouble.
Q2: Same question as above.
I understand Huawei requires the kernel and ramdisk to reside in separate images on separate partitions. So I have used this guide (https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Huawei_P10_Lite_(huawei-warsaw)) to separate the boot.img produced in my build, and then flashed these two image files to the kernel and recovery_ramdisk partitions respectively. However, examining the LOS 16.0 rom that can be installed, I see that it contains a "boot.img".
Q3: Can I flash my boot.img without separating into kernel and ramdisk first, and if so, which partition should I flash?
Q4: After flashing the image files I built (kernel.img and ramdisk.img along with system.img), do I need to reboot to a recovery (if so, which?) and wipe something (if so, what?) before rebooting?

Hello,
If I understood you correctly you're asking if you can flash stock erecovery after you've modified it. Answer is yes, you can flash twrp on it and when you're done you can flash stock erecovery image over it. Fastboot won't allow you to flash anything on erecovery partition tho. So you need to use certain twrps that are capable of flashing over erecovery. s_mak and tishserg twrps should allow that iirc. First flash any one of those twrps to recovery_ramdisk then boot into it afterwards flash same twrp image to erecovery partition from inside the twrp.
Yes, if you look at last few replies in this thread that was exactly the conversation. However that is only the case with official twrp. If you use s_mak or tishserg's twrps from the mega link in the thread you should be able to wipe without a problem.
Last 2 questions are beyond me I'm afraid. PostparketOS and Ubuntu Touch are inherently very different to android and they could require some stuff that are unique to them. However I would imagine you wouldn't need to wipe anything after flashing those images.

Misunderstanding. You can revert to stock via eRecovery & wi-fi.
Huawei has Recovery and eRecovery, each has different functions.
You can use the following combinations in your phone:
- Recovery + eRecovery (stock FW)
- TWRP instead of Recovery + eRecovery
- Recovery + TWRP instead of eRecovery

Same answer as above. Formatting (not wiping) data with TWRP 3.4+ is dangerous (running stock EMUI).
Q3: All this only works on EMUI 8 as far as I know.
Q4: follow the instructions, imo.
P.S.: as you can see, mobile Linux projects such as Ubuntu Touch, postmarketOS or Sailfish OS work only partially on Hua/Ho phones,but we already talked about that .

Re-reading your answer above, I see I'd like to double check: Is this dangerous only if you are running stock EMUI, or would it also be dangerous to use TWRP 3.4+ to format the data partition when you wish to run a different system on the device, as in my case?

Hard to say, no one has experience with different system . But I don't think it matters - see Mr. Frax3r's post above (and read carefully bro ).

I'm bumping the thread, few improvements are made for android 13.

Thank you for the update.
I have modified Phenix_4.9.235-phenix-1.0 rebased on Harmonyos to make it permissive which make most A13 GSIs boot normally on my phone. I have attached the updated one.

[GUIDE][A107M] BL Unlock, Twrp, ROMs and Magisk

I am not responsible for any damage to your device, when you root you lose the Warranty
This guide collects A107F development info, but with the files ported to the A107M.
Thanks to the Galaxy A10s Development team for the original files.
You need to be on Android 10, if you are on android 11, there are tutorials to downgrade.
[BootLoader Unlock]
- Backup all your media, this process will delete your internal media including music and photos
- Go to developer settings and enable [OEM Unlock]
- Reboot to download mode (Turn off, press VOL- & VOL+ and connect the USB)
- When prompted, press and hold VOL + to enter bootloader unlock mode
- Press VOL + to confirm you want to unlock bootloader, this will wipe your data
- If you think the bootloader is fully unlocked, it is actually not! Samsung introduced VaultKeeper, meaning the bootloader will still reject any unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it.
- Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we flash TWRP and magisk
- Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and is grayed out. This means the VaultKeeper service has unleashed the bootloader. This step is MANDATORY
- Perfect! Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode.
[Twrp Install]
At this point, you will need to install Odin on your PC.
Bootloader unlocked is OBLIGATORY.
On your MicroSD, put the "A10s-encryption-disabler.zip" file.
Boot to download mode, load "VBMeta" file in AP and "TWRP Ported to A107M" file in BL
- Disable [Auto Reboot] in Odin
- Flash
- Force a reboot by pressing VOL+, VOL - and POWER buttons at the same time
- With the USB connected, and after the screen goes black, IMMEDIATELY let go of all buttons and IMMEDIATELY press and hold VOL+ and POWER button at the same time to boot to TWRP Recovery
NOTE: TWRP on this phone is not perfect, after booting to it, the screen will remain black after the Samsung logo disappears, simply wait 10 seconds and press the power button 2 times to have acces to it.
- After booting to TWRP successfully, go to WIPE in TWRP
- At the bottom, you should see an option to FORMAT DATA. After you select it, you will be asked to type "yes" in your keyboard. If you do not see this, you probably selected the wrong option.
- After formatting data, flash the "A10s-encryption-disabler.zip" with TWRP. This is done to avoid future bootloops.
- Optional, flash "Magisk.zip" if you want to keep on Stock ROM with root.
- After doing this, boot back to system and you are done
- Wait patiently for the device to boot for the first time
[Custom ROMs Install]
Bootloader unlocked and TWRP isntalled are OBLIGATORY.
Most of the GSI ROMs of this forum works fine on this device.
Only download a64 ROMs, do not confuse with ARM64.
On your MicroSD, put the ROM image.
- Boot to TWRP
- Go to Wipe > Advanced
- Wipe ONLY the System partition
- Go to Install
- At the bottom, select option "Install Image"
- Search for your GSI. It should be something that ends in .img. If it ends in .xz instead, you need to extract the image first
- Optional, if you want Root, flash the "Magisk.zip" file
- Go to recovery main menu
- Go to Reboot
- Reboot to Recovery
- After that, go to Wipe and perform a Factory Reset
- Reboot to System and enjoy!
