Well I was thinking of flashing TWRP Recovery to root.
Can't I simply use Full Unroot option of SuperSu to unroot when an ota is available to Download and update?

I think we can perform the bootloader unlocking process using ADB & Fastboot files plus USB drivers, and overcome the need to download the 510 MB Android SDK. Is that possible?

Hi mates
For all those who, like me, have a lot of trouble to root their Mate 8.
I've successful to root my phone from the B560.
Last tuto (FINAL):
* Have the B560 firmware (or above - ask me for that) without no changes for Huawei Mate 8 with Nougat firmware - for the others devices, ASK ME!!!
* This Boot_Insecure_BXXX_Fix-adb_dm-verity-v2.img or v3- 5 versions for the moment: B560 - B580 - B581 - B582 - B585 - B588- B590- B592- B594- B595- B596. For another kernel, ASK ME!
* Have this TWRP 3.1.0-x - or this one (following the update)
* Have this SuperSU-v2.xx-EMUI5.0.zip on your external sdcard for supersu Chainfire - method 1
* Have the PHH superuser.zip on your external sdcard for PHH superuser - method 2
1 - Easy way to root with supersu Chainfire:
Install the TWRP via adb, or SRKtools or still TWRP if you already have it
Install the new_Insecure_BXXX_dm-verity-v2.img or v3 via adb
Reboot to the recovery
Install SuperSU-v2.xx-EMUI5.0.zip from TWRP
Reboot system
2 - Easy way to root with PHH superuser:
Install the TWRP via adb, or SRKtools or still TWRP if you already have it
Install the new_Insecure_BXXX_dm-verity-v2.img or v3 via adb
Reboot to the recovery
Install PHH superuser.zip from TWRP
Reboot system
Install PHH superuser app via PlayStore (if necessary, you had to make it with previous version)
Devices with which it works:
HUAWEI Mate 8
HUAWEI Honor Note 8
HUAWEI P9
HUAWEI Honor 8
HUAWEI MediaPad M3
HUAWEI P9 Plus
Misc:
It's certainly possible to root others Huawei models . For them, send me the stock boot.img of your current firmware in order that I make an insecure boot Fix-adb dm-verity for your device.
All apps requiring root works well with this method.
Following a problem with access to developer options, a update was made that now makes us to v3.
Credits:

Rename it as twrpmate8mm.img
Goes to the SRKtools folder
Goes to the recovery folder
Goes to the mate8 folder
Goes to the emui41 folder
Open mate8.zip file with winrar or other extractor
Inside, you've 2 files,stockrecoverymate8mm.img and twrpmate8mm.img, delete twrpmate8mm.img file in the zip and confirm
Drag and drop your renamed file (twrpmate8mm.img) in the opened zip, confirm
Plug your phone

Launch a command prompt from you ADB folder - like on the Flash_boot_img_tuto_02.jpg screenshot
Type: adb devices
Type: adb reboot bootloader
Put the twrp.img file in C: (you can put anywhere but you should know the path. So the better is to follow my instructions)
Type: fastboot flash recovery C:\twrp.img (Wait the end of installation, it's quick)

Brilliant work buddy! Keep it coming

Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work. I will try it immediately, downloading everything I need now.

Question:
If I am already on official OTA B560, can I skip these steps?
16. Install update_data_full_hw_eu.zip - Don't reboot
17. Install update.zip - Don't reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

@dexz 's method arranged by me​to avoid to format data again​
Only use if you are in the situation below... otherwise follow this method
Good news for those who are in my situation with my method. The @dexz 's method works fine but force again to format data... personnally I had more than tired to format data. So I made this....
You are with the semi rooted B560 or other perhaps
You have Chainfire supersu
You have decrypted your data
You have a Decrypted data boot and you wanted to keep it
Put my Decrypted data boot on the external SD
Phone is on... then unroot it fully with Chainfire supersu in its settings - it asks you to restore the boot.img, I pushed "NO" because I had a doubt if I still had it, in addition it will install again in this tuto
Reboot in TWRP (frd-twrp like @dexz 's tuto)
Install Decrypted data boot
Wipe Dalvik & cache - Strongly advised after to have flashed the boot, it doesn't eat some bread
Install superuser_noverify_nocrypt.zip
Reboot to system - It will take about 3-5mins or less, it's due to the wipe Dalvik & Cache
Go to playstore and Install phh's SuperUser app
And like me, you are fully rooted... Again thanks to @dexz for his method! The one above isn't more complicate and avoid to format again the data if you are in my situation.

Short question is it possible that someone makes a twrp backup and i just reroll this on my phone?^^

How do I unlock the FRP lock?
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out how to do it.
If anyone else needs an answer to this question here it is:
Before you unlock the bootloader, you MUST enable "OEM Unlocking".
If you do not do it before you unlock the bootloader, it will be greyed out and you will have to relock the bootloader and do it all over again.
---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------
I have tried it now and it works!
Although I skipped one thing, which was step 3. I did not install the insecure boot because I know from the past that it screwed up my phone.
In short I did like this:
Enabled OEM Unlocking
Unlocked bootloader
Flashed TWRP (found in OP)
Factory reset
Format Data (here I rebooted to recovery)
Flashed the SuperSU zip (found in OP)
Flashed update_data_full_hw_eu.zip (also found in OP)
Then I flashed SuperSU again.
Reboot to system and done
Thank you for this post

Bootloader unlock and custom recovery

Hello guys. Before you proceed, I'll let you know that I don't own this device. Theoretically these steps should work.
1. Unlock bootloader
Go to settings>about, tap build number 7 times. This enables developer options. Here, select allow OEM unlock and USB debugging. Reboot in fastboot mode (power+vol down). Then go to this site
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
And follow the instructions. They are pretty straightforward.
2. Install TWRP
Go to
http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/22535-moto-m-kastomnoe-rekaveri-twrp-otklyuchenie-shifrovaniya/
And download TWRP_Moto_M.img and boot_M_S124.img
In fastboot mode type fastboot flash boot <the name of the latter file image, just drag it into the CMD window from adb and fastboot folder> then type fastboot flash recovery <TWRP file>
Then type fastboot boot <TWRP file> and voila, you are booted in custom recovery.
IMPORTANT: FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD AND FAIR, MAKE A BACKUP OF EVERY FOLDER. IF YOU MESS UP SOMEWHERE, I WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP YOU!!
Now you may proceed to rooting procedures.
Tell me if this works. And before asking any questions in this thread, use the DAMN INTERNET; Google or Bing or Yahoo, whatever floats your boat

If you are unsure of any step, and Google does not help, ask it in this thread and wait for my reply

The wrong way to go.
Follow these steps:
In Windows command prompt write adb reboot bootloader. The device will reboot into fastboot.
The following command - fastboot oem unlock. You will be prompted on the phone screen, volume up to confirm, down to refuse. Who decided to change his mind
I waited a few seconds and at the command prompt, I got the answer - OK.
Disconnect the cable from the phone and hold the power button reboot the phone and put aside. He will restart another 2 times, will go to the drain recovery and erase all data from your phone. Therefore, I recommend to make a backup.
You just have to wait to boot the phone. approximately 5-7 minutes.
The bootloader is unlocked.

That's just the point, that you give the wrong information.
You give a link to the unlocking of MOTO devices on the Qualcomm processor, and that method is not suitable for MTK.
I also laid out 100% working instructions.

Method Issues
Bro, I have faced a few problems since I have started
i) When I type in adb devices it shows my phone but unauthorized
so I have to allow it as you said but only after a reboot and doing the process again will it show authorized
ii) after entering adb reboot bootloader it doesnt show bootloader locked but straight up fastboot mode
iii) then when i enter fastboot oem unlock it shows asks me if I want to unlock, I press on volume up. Then it again asks me some other thing and I hold the volume up down and power together. Next I reboot into my phone. All data erased. I setup it again.
Now, does this mean my bootloader is unlocked? When I reboot it shows something on the middle right- unlocked..
So does this mean I continue and install twrp now? or what?

1 - It doen't matter if its authorized or not..
2 - yes! thats correct it directly takes you to fastboot mode it use to show bootloader locked for old Moto phones).I 'll make changes in the thread.
Yes! your bootloader is unlocked successfully..
if you see something like 'Your devices is unlocked and cant be trusted' on the left hand side during the moto logo.

Thanks for your help Y_Y
Hey bro, I am not about to install the recovery.
Before this may I ask why we need to flash boot_XT1663_356.img ?
Also, isn't this command wrong? fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img
It should be fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img
Without the boot twice ryt?
Also, will the data be erased after installing TWRP recovery or not? If not, will it be erased after installing the SuperSU?

1 - It is the Image file which is specifically build for S356 (build number) hence it is necessary to flash it before flashing TWRP. If you don't flash boot image then you might face boot loop issues and hard brick your phone.
2 - The correct command is 'fastboot flash boot boot_XT1663_356.img' . the first boot is to recognize cmd that we are flashing a boot image and the second boot is the name of image file.
3 - Flashing TWRP and Super SU won't erase your data.

please help

Hi there,
After I unlocked the bootloader, pushed the twrp recovery successfully, got stuck in the recovery mod each time I reboot the phone so can't boot the stock rom. Done wipe factory reset and format data and still nothing changed. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance OP
Edit: Just solved issue by flashing stock firmware

Well, yes ... The new boot.img for removing encryption. Especially for post-OTA updating to XT1663_S364_170803_ROW.
boot_XT1663_364.img

Does anyone know how to keep your Moto M rooted even after updating to the new security update of 7.0? Do we just flash the new .img file or what? Kinda newb here

Before this came out I tried the reversal process incorrectly by typing fastboot oem lock as the 1st step (I know it says above you need a brain). Now it seems there is no OS to boot to. I can boot to TWRP and fastboot but my computer doesn't see the storage. Is there a way to push the the rom zip and stock recovery image to your phone via adb? If so what are the commands?

I believe you should be able to go into twrp, go to sideload mode. Then the command would be abd sideload filename.zip This should then push the rom to your phone and install it for you. It has been a while since I needed to do it, as now a days I mostly keep my phones stock and locked.

Thanks but that doesn't seem to work.

Link for Stock Recovery is down. Please help

Nice guide but isn't step 10 unnecessary, since the stock ROM will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery anyway?

Thanks for the info. My phone's been acting very flaky since I rooted it, so I'm curious to see if returning to stock will make it a little less annoying.

sometimes it doesnt and hence before we relock the bootloader its necessary to ensure we have the stock recovery hence the step.

My problem is, although I still have TWRP and fast boot, I don't have an os at the moment and need to get one via adb somehow.
I've tried adb push but can't find in TWRP. My computer doesn't see my phones storage either.
