Hi, I now have versions ALE-L21C432B132. The phone is unlocked bootloader and root, recovery twrp and I can not update to B170. What should I do?
Havn't tried but unroot, install original recovery and update through EMUI, then root again and install twrp recovery
Hi, I have a similar problem, I have bootloader unlocked, root but original stock recovery and I want to upgrade to B170 but in recovery installation up to 10% and message appears installation faild. I unrooted before upgrade. I tried many times. Maybe someone could help me? I have P8 lite ALE-L21, Im from Poland. And sory for my English.

Have you modified somehow system partition? Host file, Adaway, Busybox...
System partition must be clean and untouched, just like original ROM. I had problems in the past because of this.

Use the full update, I don't have the link at hand, but the file is over 1 GB, it HAS to include the system.img or it will not work right.

For some reason I can't root my Huawei P8. It currently running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Before that it was running on Android 5.1 Lollipop and it was rooted. I've tried many times but was unsuccessful. The bootloader is unlocked (In the fastboot screen it said phone locked in red text). I flashed Twrp recovery install SuperSu but no root. Have anybody experienced this kind of issue? Any threads or site that can help me fix this and get my phone rooted? Thanks in advance.
Btw current build version is GRA-UL00C636B361
there should be a method with 2 zip file to flash in two steps (one right after another restart), but it was for the p8 lite, I do not know your model
you need kernel and last twrp....follow this instrction:

I had a rooted p9 Lite VNS-L31.
I updated my phone and after the update the root was gone. I tried rerooting and got as far as installing TWRP recovery but when typing "adb reboot recovery" in the console my phone got stuck in bootloop. I got it out of bootloop but I still want to root my phone or install the official rom.
I am kind of scared to do anything like that so if someone could tell me what had gone wrong and/or tell me how I can install a working rom that would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
Oem ?

having the same issue, I think no one is able to help with this
It's possible you have installed the wrong TWRP for your software version. If you are on Marshmallow, make sure you install TWRP for Marshmallow. If on Nougat, install TWRP for Nougat.
If you installed the correct TWRP, then I'm not sure what the issue is, sorry.

Hi, yesterday i tried to root my phone for the first time, i unlocked the bootloader then installed twrp recovery.
But when i was installing root, after some restarts my phone got stuck in bootloop, finally this morning i was able to reflash recovery, system and boot files with fastboot, and now my phone is working but the emui now its 4.0.
Do i have to update my emui before rooting? Or can i root now and only update the custom rom?
And if somebody is so kind to show me every step to root it correctly, i'd be very grateful.
Thanks.
PS: I'm sorry, i didnt saw the Q&A section, and i don't know how to delete this thread
Hello
I got no answer on P8 lite 2017 thread so I try here.
I was on B180 (PRA-LX1C432 - P8 lite 2017) rooted with magisk
There were no updates available in settings/update, but connecting to PC HiSuite B194 appeared (which seems to be for Honor 8 lite by the way). It downloaded it, pushed it to phe phone, but when rebooting it goes to twrp... so obviously I'm still on B180
I imagine we have to flash back stock recovery before updating ? And then twrp again, magisk flash, etc ?
About OTA over magisk I found that on P9 forum:
1) unroot by Magisk Uninstaller, find the download link in the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...63&postcount=1
2) flash from TWRP original stock boot img
3) wipe Dalwik and Cache from TWRP
3) flash from fastboot original stock recovery
4) let it make OTA update but select in the System Update settings to use Full (not differential) update - it will not delete your apps and settings
maybe the safest way indeed...
But as I "catch" the full ota update, maybe I can use fastboot to flash only system and boot, and then reflash magisk ?
anyone ?
Thanks !

I did this a few days ago!
My base:
Stock rom, Magisk, Xposed.
My steps:
1. Downloaded OTA on phone
2. Extracted stock recovery with huawai update.app extractor from the downloaded OTA
3. Fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img via PC
4. Boot phone, installed OTA without problems
Then I noticed my phone was oem locked again and root was gone.... I made a adb backup (TiBa needs root)
5. Unlocked oem again IT WIPED ALL DATA
6. Fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
7. Boot, patch boot.img via Magisk, restore all apps etc.
Done!

Did you try it? I also want to OTA update to B392 but I don't want to erase my phone. After some experiences, every time you update, the OEM locks. Is there a way to restore apps and all setttings via TWRP backup/restore option? Sorry if the question is completely wrong, I'm quite new at this.
Hello,
iam now very frutrated trying to unroot my Huawei P8.
Searched the net again and again ending on tons of crappy blogs with unusual information :-/
My Problem :
I have a Huawei P8 (Not that dumb "lite" )
The USB Port is faulty, so no ADB is aviable.
The Phone was on B370 and i used crappy Kingroot to install TWRP. This worked and i have a functional TWRP.
I tryed to unroot the phone for Safetyet by installing Magisk to get rid of Kingroot. This didnt worked (ERROR 1 insufficient partition sice at flashing boot.img)
I found a B370 Stock prerooted (FF) here and flashed it with TWRP. This worked and i got rid of Kingroot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/development/rom-huawei-p8-stock-b370-prerootet-t3421507
But i need a unrooted B370 Rom to pass Safety Net Check.
I tryed to unroot with the preinstelled SuperSu, but this didnt work.
The B370 non FF in the linked post is no longer aviable on MegaNZ
So i tryed to flash the system partition from a unrooted Rom. I extracted the system.img from the update.app and created a flashable zip.
But the phone hangs on the first bootscreen and doesnt pass to the boot animation.
Does anyone know, how to unroot the phone without USB by KEEPING TWRP ?
Greetings Chris
