And thats about it. I cant really understant how to root my phone(. Its too compliated), and Im wondering if android pie is avaiable for this device. Thank you for your time.
The simple answer is No, Android P is not available for the Huawei P Smart and may never be, officially.
The complicated answer is that if you have an unlocked bootloader (which you would have had to do before Huawei restricted this practice) then it will be feasible in the future to flash a third party ROM which is based on Android P.

Android P is available unofficially. Just search for it on XDA, there are ones in the P8 Lite 2017 forum that will work on this device because we're all part of the hi6250 chipset family. There is also one for the Honor View 10 that works really well once you remove the assert lines from the updater-script file.

I tried Dot OS for P8 Lite 2017 and I get the Huawei Logo and it keeps rebooting, I also get an error 7 in TWRP about it when it tries to mount/unmounts system and vendor, is there any stable ones that work on the P smart?

That's a case of a bad twrp. Use the p10 lite's or the honor 7x's, they will work because we're (again) all part of the hi6250 family

Recently, Tkkg1994 wrote a tutorial on "Unofficial TWRP for the Huawei Mate 9". My question: is it possible to apply this tutorial to Huawei Mate 9 PRO? (same chipset than Mate 9). Thks.
I think you can use it on mate 9 pro.......You can have a try.
Yes Twrp THAT VERSION WORKS
YES there is even a way to root , i did it myself..
after you unlock unloader, there is a tutorial how to do it ... (you get the unlock code from the huawei site...)
you install that unofficial version of twrp and since our device does not have a microsd extension the way that i did it since you can not access the file because the twrp not support encrypted os... so what you should do
is connect a usb type c to your device with phh's root the latest version , and then from the twrp install you install that file from the usb.
it works and i have root...
(there is a problem with toolbox tho.. but root is working...
someone here need to start a thread with rom collections..
good luck!:good:

Have been watching the TWRP-thread. I'm just waiting to see if things stabilise. We need a rom collection. I do not dare to start on rooting before I have a fastboot flashable stock recovery and all the other files.
PS. I have unlocked bootloader. Doing this is a bit dangerous as well. The automatic factory reset done when unlocking is prone to fail. I at least got a semi-bricked phone.
So for anyone not familiar with flashing in Android should stay far away at the moment.
HI..Wheres the tutorial for rooting mate 9 pro thx..

As Vacchia scrofa confirmed that mate 9 recovery works on mate 9 pro then flash that TWRP recovery and flash SuperSU.zip to root your android.
Waiting for latest mate 9 pro method. Appreciate your sharing If someone master has the guide.
the supersu is not working but the phh's root is working ...
Did the root work fully like no issue booting the phone?

Hello. I want to root my P8 lite, but I've read about some tutorials/files being for chinese version of Marshmallow and other for Kirin chipset, and as a newbie, I'm quite lost in it and I don't know which files / tutorial I have to use. I really don't want to brick my phone.
So can someone upload or post link to files or whole unlocking bootloader->flashing TWRP->root tutorial that will work on 6.0 B574 version?

I used it to Flash Blackball's Custom ROM. So while I have not rebranded with it, I am pretty sure the TWRP will work.

Could you please share the solution here. Stuck in bootloop and can't do anything with the phone. Thanks
Did anyone succeed ?
VKY-AL00 rebrand final solution
After spending 10+ hours trying to get this phone to an european model, I kinda gave up. The main reason for the rebrand was because the newsfeed was in chinese and there is no play store, so you can hardly get your normal apps.
So I finally decided to go with openkirin (.net).
- Reflash your stock recovery and do a clean install(maybe through your stock recovery) of the latest stock version of your system.
- Then follow the guide on openkirin.
I used the omnirom 3.1 beta. Works great, the guide only took 30 min tops. Everything seems to work fine and you have direct access to an english newsfeed and the playstore.
I followed every guide on rebranding, but got nothing to work. This gives your phone a clean android system so it is at least fully usable.
Good luck
I got this Android pie to boot on my honor 7x and it's running pretty damn good so I thought I share many it works on your phones to credits to @crayonicle for the honor way and @flex1911 for the Android pie on Kirin
Got this to boot on my phone, finally.
I have an Honor 7x.
I removed the assert line and uploaded the file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wth0N14bKM1WM2VGXdJN91fPBXzdnsCQ/view?usp=drivesdk
1. Go back to stock using hurupdater, this is a must. I tried coming from a different ROM, and it bootlooped and nothing would stop the bootloop.
2. Factory reset in stock recovery
3. Flash back twrp in fastboot, I used this one https://drive.google.com/open?id=18u...QgwleMIOjsZd7S
4. Flash the rom and bitgapps in one go
5. Factory reset in twrp, format data, and also factory reset in stock recovery
6. It will bootloop you to erecovery, just tap "Reboot" again, and it will boot to the ROM.
7. Enjoy Android P on your phone

It will wipe your phone and all the data in it. Your phone will be boot just like new phone with no magisk and twrp.. you have the option to lock your bootloader if you want while flashing the rom.
You can again flash the twrp and magisk after booting your phone in miui 11..just do not re-lock your bootloader while flashing.
