Pie cannot be rooted. There is a method allowing you to downgrade the os. but maintaining the same boot loader revision. 5th digit from end of firmware.
You can then with safe strap install a rooted nougat system

A2017G Rootable?

As mentioned in below thread, G model is not supported.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204
Is G model B06 (or B03) now rootable?
Please kindly advise.
B03 is.
What you can do, and this is what I've done with a recent firmware,
OnLY flash TWRP which doesn't matter which version your on through the ax7root method
Once you have TWRP fyou can unlock the bootloader then flash SuperSU
Only the boot IMG us specific for that version

You can root b05 and b06 but only if you unlock bootloader.

Awesome, thank you! Getting ready to finally open up my phone today and request the bootloader unlock by calling Huawei as @Tkkg1994 suggested. Going to install TWRP and root (the big thing I was waiting for - once you root, it's hard to go back to stock, lol). I hope we get xposed soon...I read in the recent xda article that it's almost there for Nougat.

Yes. If you have unlocked bootloader and this tool, you can do anything
I am a complete newbie in this so I have a question:
my unit is model mha-al00 ...its bought in china.
my question is, is it possible to flash it with south east asian firmware I.e. singaporean firmware, and if so, which firmware number is that and is it available on Duaraa server?
if not, then if I flash with european firmware, will all functionality and software features of the phone work without problem?
thanks and sorry if I asked stupid questions.
---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------
one more question, is there such thing as international firmware? is that the same as european firmware?
---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------
so by flashing non chinese firmware, can someone confirm that app twin will allow using double whatsapp account instead of wechat?

Yes, European firmware is basically international firmware. It's actually updated more quickly than south asia region firmware. You should try and flash it and see if you like it. Basically, the firmware is all either Chinese or non-Chinese. The non-Chinese firmwares are more or less the same.
You will lose some functionality here and there. Themes will not work any more, for example. Your biggest gain will be better google integration. Please try it and see. Should you want to, you can always flash back to Chinese firmware afterwards.
App twin will not work with WhatsApp unless you unlock your bootloader and flash a non-Chinese oeminfo. I have done that, but you need to get the unlock code from Huawei.
Since I'm on MHA-L29 C636b110 South Asian firmware and want to be up to date:
1) Should I just change my dns to your recommended dns in the B126 thread as @alexhee did and update via OTA before unlocking my bootloader and proceeding to install twrp and root?
OR
2) Should I use this thread's method, permanently change my oeminfo to non-chinese C432, update to latest B126 via OTA, unlock my bootloader, and proceed to install twrp and root?
**Should my bootloader be unlocked before any of the two methods above?**
Really appreciate any help and advice on BEST method to keep all functionality.

Because you have the South Asian firmware, I may have to make modifications to support your device on this server.
Please give it a try using the free code, and see if it works.

Ok will do, thanks. So, it's better to change my oeminfo by doing your FunkyHuawei method as opposed to changing the DNS on the router and downloading the B126 OTA via system update as @alexhee did? http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/ota-b126-available-france-t3514682/page3

As I understand until now, you only support Chinese and European phone version, and convert the firmware between this two, right?
So if I have C185B110, I can't flash with your method?

You should be able to flash any of the European firmwares using the HiSuite method. eRecovery method will not work unless I customize a version for your phone.
I've just tested the method (China => EU) works flawlessly. Thanks a lot

If you're going to change oeminfo, my FunkyHuawei method will be a portion of what you do, but you'll also need BL unlock and TWRP to completely change oeminfo. Basically, what you should do is PM me for more information once your BL is unlocked, and I'll walk you through it step by step because it's a delicate process and I don't want you to get a brick.

Thanks. I'll do that once I get my BL unlock. Have to wait for Huawei China to open in 8 hours in order to call because Huawei UK won't unlock it since the phone is Asia Pacific region.

2. HiSuite
------------------------------
This is where things get a little bit complicated. We use HiSuite to install non-authorized ROMs. For example, betas, or other ROMs that Huawei does not want people to install. From FunkyHuawei, you will see a link of a tool to download. You must download this tool if you wish to use the HiSuite installation method.

Sorry for this, but I can't find/see the link for the tool on your site. Can you tell how can I download FunkyHisuite.exe app?

Latest firmware?
How do I know which firmware is the latest ??
I have the duo sim EU version.
With yesterday the OTA 126 downloaded...
I saw on YouTube a 135 firmware..?
Thanx!!
Installation error (CHINA-TO-EURO)
I've set DNS correctly (verified by successfully getting to www dot funky huawei dot com. I requested the CHINA-TO-EURO firmware (and got "request successful), entered eRecovery on the phone, and went to download. As expected, firmware name was "FunkyHuawei". It gets all the way through the download process, but then at about 81% of installation, I get "Recovery failed" with an exclamation mark.
My phone is a MHA-AL00 running Chinese firmware.
Any ideas?
Does your tool supports the huawei mate 9 pro?

[Help / Question] Moto X Style (XT1572) DUAL SIM.

Hello friends, Greetings from Argentina.
I wanted to make the following query.
I have a Moto X Style (XT1572) Double SIM Android 6.0.1 Rom Stock (24.231.13.clark_retasia_ds.retasia.en.03 retmea).
Is it possible to install a Firmware from another continent? (Example: EU, US, BR.etc).
If possible, could you install SINGLE SIM firmware? Or would you stop working both SIMs? (I only use a single SIM card anyway).
Thank you very much.
Excuse my english
Greetings.:good:

The single sim one is XT1575. You can try XT1572 ROMS.
1. U have retasia(cid7) in Argentina - you havn't all bands for your country(cid12).
2. U have 6.0.1 - there isn't cid12 single sim, only 6.0(retar, retla). You can't flash it with locked bootloader. With unlocked - u probably can, but without bootloader and gpt partitions.
Btw:
U will not get update to 7.0.
Here is wrong place for asking such things.

I have no idea where to start (Root zenfone 3)

Hi,
I just bought a Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL) and googled for a few hours to learn how to root it but I can't find any clear tutorial on how to do it.
Can someone point me in the right direction to root the phone with the latest update available ?
I'm sorry if the answer is obvious but I'm new to this
(Right now my phone is updated to the latest firmware)

Every post says "I'm not responsible for bricked devices". I've done some rooting in the past. Luckily all of them went well. What are the chances of this new Asus device to get bricked? has anyone ever had this problem? Just asking
I don't know the chances but I tried this and it worked for me.
---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------
Well, after unlocking bootloader, you have got to install twrp recovery before magisk
As long as we have working fastboot there is a slim chance we end up with bricked device. Follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/guide-how-to-root-zenfone-3-official-t3745650
