For those who want to Root - Honor 8 Lite Questions & Answers

Hey guys...i have the same device (Pra-la1).
If you want to root just follow the same instructions that are on Huawei p8 lite 2017 section.
And the recovery for p8 lite 2017 (pra-lx1) is the same with honor 8 lite (pra-la1) and I've been using it since day one that I bought that phone.
And i think both phones are the same except the model name...
I tried to flash the ROM from pra-lx1 and actually they are both the same.

Which is nice since you can flash both devices with a single ROM.

Better to try all roms which are working on the device, fast forward the tgreads in thi fourm
We want a device to test or tester need.

If you need a tester I'm willing to help... I'll do anything to see a custom ROM on my device...not EMUI based...maybe LINEAGE OS or similar AOSP based

Every attempt at rooting has led me to be stuck in eRecovery
I have no problem flashing and using TWRP, but i when i flash SuperSu (i tried all verisons for p8 lite 2017) and it always gets me stuck at eRecovery :/

Rommco05 said:
So u can flash recovery but no Supersu? Which firmware u have right now? and android version
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Firmware : pra-la1c185b100
Android 7.1
Yes, the latest version of TWRP is running just fine, but whenever i try to flash SuperSu (Using TWRP) i get stuck at eRecovery, flashing unSU.zip doesn't fix the problem, the only way to fix it is to remove supersu file from /data

Rommco05 said:
Android 7.1? can I see screenshot please? Try download custom supersu from twrp thread in Honor 8 is for all kirin devices maybe should work
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's 7.0
And I'm trying to update to version B120 right now, I'll tell if Root works after the update

Rommco05 said:
I never see Huawei/Honor device with Android 7.1

Lol yeah it's a mistake i meant 7.0

That's not needed. Just need to mount vendor before flashing.

No worries but you can always install Nova Launcher at least before you sell the device just to try it out.
Waiting for a good stock like custom rom
Why do people not research a phone before buying it? I mean come on, this phone doesn't even run MIUI.

Miui is from Xiaomi and EMUI is from Huawei. Almost the same name but complete different layer.
Can remove apps with System App Remover and install Nova launcher.
As of now, not yet. We just wait. And MIUI is Xiaomi's.

Don't they know about custom ROMs? Besides, they should've requested for Android O update. I'm sure Huawei won't bother anymore about updating this device.

Twrp can't access internal storage

So i flashed twrp on my Honor 8 Lite with fastboot (I did unlock bootloader). When i boot into twrp, internal storage is just random letters and numbers, but external SD card is fine. I don't know if this is related, but whenever i try to flash anything out of twrp, it doesn't work. (For example if i try to flash a new magisk version in the app it doesn't work, but if i download the zip and flash it in twrp it works just fine.). Also Viper Android FX drivers say they installed but when i reboot my phone, they are gone.
P.S, Just installed twrp manager from play store to check my twrp version, but it doesn't detect a custom recovery. (Also i checked my root access just to be sure, and it was fine.)
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Device Model Number: PRA-LX1
Emui-Version: 5.0
Android Version: 7.0
Rommco05 said:
This can be because:ยจ
1. this twrp isnt exactly for this devices (for which device is original this twrp?)
2. Isn't fully decrypted your internal storage. For decrypt data u need to make format data in twrp
But if this twrp isn't exactly for your device u can brick your phone, please do full backup to sd card!!
Whicj twrp u use? And Which is your build number?

Original twrp version is for honor 8 (frd).
I don't know if formating data will help if i just have the wrong version. Right?

Better avoid then. Emui 5 is not that bad
I installed OpenKirin's RROS v5.8.3 For Honor 6X in a Honor 8 lite. Took a while to boot(I thought it was stuck in a bootloop but it wasn't). I haven't tried it out yet but it booted ok, I think everything works.
