Hi guys,
I wonder if it is possible to root Huawei Honor 8 Lite at the current time? Does it work with the same method as the regular Honor 8?
Thanks in advance

Omg I managed to root it! Honor 8 Lite (PRA-LX1) is basically the same as P8 Lite 2017 (the new version, not the old one) and I followed this tutorial by ChinHon:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...-to-root-huawei-p8-lite-2017-android-t3582179
Keep in mind, if you have an Honor Lite 8 with the build ID PRA-LX1C432B103, you need to flash the system.img, boot.img and recovery.img of B100 first (link below):

Share this to make it possible
in my opinion emui 5 and android 7 is just fine. sure there would be nice to have equalizer, but 3rd party apps do that for me(poweramp). theme is pretty much fine but dark mode would be nice (could be added to developer options via OTA?). havent realized any bugs or battery draining on my L21. powersaving mode actually works (turns 10% slower atleast on antutu).
also this is what i found:

Not p9 lite? We can just grab and slightly alter for that.

I think p9 lite will get android O (since it is a new device and shipped with nougat).
However, only time can tell us
Anyone up for porting it across to 5c?

you cannot port emui, its complicated and its not open sources to build either..
and in case of emui6, os will be based on android o , and for porting android o, so to port an android o rom, first you need a stable android o base (any other stable android o rom built for your device)
so, if emui6 not coming officially, just forget about it and do not expect, so you cannot be disappointed, because unofficial ways are nearly impossible
I think the hardware is the same so it should be possible to just change one or two things and flash it.

It's about the software here, as EMUI isn't open source like MIUI
