How do I backup the ROM of, and root Huawei Nova 3i?
(10-09-2021, 09:02 PM)Detective_Khalifah Hello, and good day to the @Hovatek family!
Before I dive in, I'd like to ask if there's a better process: dump ROM, root (using Magisk), restore Titanium backup (app + AppData) from old phone, restore contacts, restore settings (com.backupyourmobile), enjoy new phone.
As the subject/title of thread says in this post, I would like to dump the ROM of a Huawei Nova 3i, and root kt, so I could restore data from a Gionee M6 device. Below are the specs of my Huawei.
(note: I'm being extra careful, seeing as there is no copy of the stock ROM here -- https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13012.html)
Device name: HUAWEI Nova 3i
Model: INE-LX1
Build number: 9.1.0.316(C185E1R1P1)
EMUI ver.: 9.1.0
Android ver.: 9
CPU: Hisilicon Kirin 710
Kernel version: 4.9.148 android@localhlst#1...
Thank you for your help!

(11-09-2021, 11:43 AM)X3non ...you can however search online for the same firmware though e.g @ https://drive.google.com/uc?export=downl...Rn8q0N33To (download at your discretion, it says no password from where it was found)...I got some results online, none with exact same build number.
(11-09-2021, 11:43 AM)X3non ...secondly, huawei doesn't provide bootloader unlock codes anymore, you'd either need to search for some paid service that does or use a tool such as hcu client (dongle) to unlock bootloader via test point method
then you can proceed with rooting using the boot.img or ramdisk.img from within the firmware above, backup/restore.... e.t.c

(11-09-2021, 07:59 PM)Detective_Khalifah That is very unfortunate... How does the 'hcu client (dongle)' method work? Do I need the box or just software from https://hcu-client.com?
(11-09-2021, 07:59 PM)Detective_Khalifah I didn't like Samsung delaying it for 20 days (more or less), but Huawei allowing users to request from company, and simply discontinuing it is worse.
(11-09-2021, 08:02 PM)Detective_Khalifah The test point method is new to me
(13-09-2021, 10:19 AM)X3non did you check the link i shared? it has same build number like yoursIt also has the extra 'T8' at the end, like most others I found online -- 9.1.0.316(C185E1R1P1T8)
(13-09-2021, 10:19 AM)X3non according to their post, you need the dongle. you can verify properly by contacting their support team for how it's doneI'll definitely do that
(13-09-2021, 10:19 AM)X3non probably the reason nobody really wants a huawei these days
(13-09-2021, 10:19 AM)X3non testpoint involves connecting two points on the pcb (using any conductive maaterial) before connecting the phone to the pc through USB for proper detection
