Installation instructions ROOT

1 Download folder - Tools to install ROOT on В313 -

and unpack. https://mega.nz/#!EtpjkZZa!rxogTboyjdvO4GRPP53gGmgrNSmQsZXZM1qw8NzOQRY

2. Set new_twrp, to obtain root-rights. After installing TWRP (before mounting ROOT) be sure to make a backup copy of the firmware.

3. Go into TWRP and put Custom_Kernel+Busybox_P8. Overloaded

4.Go into TWRP and put SuperSU patch-v2.66_Pro.

After installing, press reboot system and see a prompt to install SuperSU. Make a swipe to the right.

After reloading You get a full SuperSu Pro 2.66.

ATTENTION! This can be done only on a custom kernel flashed the SuperSu patch. Otherwise get ballup or eternal download.

Important! When you get the update You need to observe the following rules

1. Before upgrading firmware, it is always necessary to remove ROOT and TWRP

2. Using TWRP to restore a previously made backup of the firmware (without ROOT)

3. Install stock recovery (attached to TWRP ).

3. Now you can upgrade without problems.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] matze0611:
Excuse me, what do you mean with "Set new_twrp" and "Go into TWRP and put Custom_Kernel+Busybox_P8. Overloaded"?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
Probably flash new TWRP via ADB and then the included Custom_Kernel+Busybox_P8.zip file, from TWRP. Then SuperSU.zip

In the archive you find 3 files: Custom_Kernel+Busybox_P8.zip, new_twrp.iso and SuperSU-v2.66_Pro.zip

This is how i understand it

Need to ask is the root systemless, because if so I can install chainfire latest update version 67. Because the new method of root will patch itself to the boot image. Meaning we simply can grab the latest twrp for our device from twrp site just flash it and then grab the latest SU zip and flash it. Instead of Flashing these 2 old files. I can't test this because the rom is not intended for my region.

SuperSU Pro seems to be pirated copy

Hi guys,

please do not use or further distribute the "SuperSU Pro" copy contained in the rooting kit. This can only be a pirated copy, as the "Pro" version is only available for a small fee (around 3-4 EUR) in Google Play.

Please use a freely available version of "SuperSU" from this page. I used BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip for the final version of Marshmallow (B317), and it worked well.

Please note that you have to perform the following command in TWRP (either thru adb, or from the "Terminal" built into TWRP) to force installation in systemless mode:

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

This is also explained on the page where you can download SuperSU.

Thanks for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Ralf

What is the difference between SYSTEMLESS and non SYSTEMLESS?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ralfbergs:
When I did this (i. e. not explicitly force to install in systemless-mode) it installed in "system-mode" (i. e. modifying /system), and then upon reboot it just sat there doing nothing.

So by using the command I forced installation in systemless-mode.

(Not sure whether I made a small error during my first try where it modified /system, I might have allowed TWRP to mount /system read-write, but anyway, creating the config file to force systemless-mode is not a big effort and never an error.)

---------- Post added at 12:05 ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 ----------

"Systemless" means without modifying the /system partition, but rather by modifying the boot image.

For more information please see chainfire's post.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Rashad83:
I see, Ty for the reply. When i get the official release for my model I will report back if forcing is needed.

Root B317 - what SU version?

On my side I have another issue. I just upgraded on B317, manage to flash the TWRP but I keep getting issues when trying to Flash SU.

Tried twice with SU 2.65 and SU 2.67 but each time after reboot the phone froze in the opening logo step. Of course I had to reflash again the stock recovery, reflash the B317, reconfigure everything after the factory reset.

:crying:

Any advice on that?

I have exactly same issue. Anybody could help?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] danielterci:
Ok. Listing the steps I did:

1. flashed new_twrp.img

2. rebooted the phone

3. system ok, no message, all working

4. turn phone off

5. reboot in recovery mode (vol up + vol down + power)

6. TWRP menu after holding the buttons for 10 sec

7. asking me if I want Read Only system or allow mods > chosen allow mods

8. mounted as USB

9. copied Super SU 2.67 Build 57 .zip file on the phone

10. go to reboot menu and chosen Power Off

11. here >> TWRP asked me if I want to install root as you said. I chose no.

12. Powered off the phone

13. Powered on the phone in recovery mode

14. Flashed SU

15. Powered off phone

16. Powered On.... and

...of course soft-bricked again. WTF!?

TWRP is ok. It means the Super SU is NOT WORKING!!

Is there any alternative for Super SU that works on Marshmallow? Probably I will find it after searching a few hours on XDA and other forums. But maybe somebody knows already.

So.... back to reflashing again 3rd time the stock B317.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] danielterci:
Just to check if I got it right.

Flashed TWRP, rebooted directly into TWRP recovery, I kept system Read Only and flashed SU (.zip file copied directly from chainfire's site SuperSU 2.67 b47 on the SD card).

Now I have 2 options in TWRP:

(1) "Wipe cache/dalvik"

(2) "Reboot System"

(1) --- > (2) or directly (2)?

----------------

Bricked. Now I got back in TWRP trying where I should enter "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu"
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Rashad83:
In Twrp there is a section called terminal, open it and enter the code.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] danielterci:
I entered the command there. Nothing happened. Than I got back to the first menu reflashed again the SU .zip.

Rebooted.... and it works.

Many thanks.

I think I tried it before to input the command line in the terminal, but I had not selected Read Only TWRP at the beginning.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Rashad83:
Thats great, happy for you. So it worked after you made it read only and not because of the command line. I need to confirm if the command line is needed. Because no one reported yet if booting in read only mode twrp and just flashing the Su zip is enough.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] danielterci:
Cannot confirm that.

The fact is that I tried it before Read Only and it got stuck the same in the boot logo.

1st attempt was TWRP write access - flashed SU - no command line ->Bricked

2nd attempt was TWRP read only - flashed SU - no command line -> Bricked

...

I tried at some point also inserting the command line, but I do not remember is the TWRP was read only or not -> Bricked again

...

this time: TWRP read only - flashed SU - command line - flashed SU again -> finally rooted
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Rashad83:
I see, any way if without command line doesn't work then just inserting it will make it work anyway. Thanks for the feedback.:good:
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] danielterci:
And to add up a bit more feedback, because this is the only reason I needed to root:

LCD Density on B317 can be modified from 480 to at least 360 (in my case) with no errors (up to now).

On B200 I could no go below 380, as the Dialer app could not work and the phone could not be used (could not dial, neither receive calls).

I've just checked it now on B317 with 360 LCD density and it has no problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dYtBj_6KgA
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] TopperBG:
And what's the purpose of that?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] rodlane:
More battery I would imagine.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] TopperBG:

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] TopperBG:
Sure it is, but the text become almost unreadable, status bar.... I need a microscope :)
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] rodlane:
Very true. I tried it at 720p and it all looks correct at 360 dpi, but the emui icons are exceptionally ugly.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] danielterci:
:p This is how I like it. It's only to get more text and GUI in the same screen. It's very tiny but for me it's ok. Anyway, I use a Xperia launcher & home screen on top of EMUI 4. I do not like either the icons.

I did not get the chance to install it as I was trying to finally get to root the phone.

The LCD mod brings no battery improvement, faster response...etc. It's just about the visual.

Anyway it's going off topic. Just wanted to give feedback for the ones who will try to mod the LCD density.

Also try this in developer options-> click revoke usb debugging authorisation. Then turn usb debugging on again and make sure to check the pop up message on phone. see if that makes flashing the recovery work.

BUT... busybox and SuperSU will not install, is there any reason for this.

Root with TWPR and SuperSU - I haven't got a problem with busybox not superSU
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] danielterci:
Play a bit with the LCD Density values, incrementally (460, 450... 380). Just remember the original was 480.

In my case I have gone now to 360. It's already very very tiny. Lower I do not recommend it at all. Anyway... on the previous Lollipop ROM, I had issues with the Caller app at 360 so I sticked to 380.

----

LE: And one more thing. If you will need to update or revert to original recovery mode, pay attention to switch back to 480 original LCD density previously doing anything else.

I do not know for Marshmallow. but on Lollipop I went through a few "trial and error"-s until I figured it out it was the LCD density which caused the issues.
