Are there drivers for Huawei P8? I see HW GRA32 in my device manager when i am in recovery, but i cant find any drivers (tested on windows 10 and windows 7)
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] jniklast:
It should work with the usual drivers. If adb works in normal mode, it should work in recovery. I'm on Linux, so I don't need any extra drivers and thus can't help with this.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] hitchmontana:
I have here the same problem, no driver for recovery mode :(
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] jniklast:
Try to download and flash the img again. I changed the device name and it should now work with the same drivers.

did you try with the facebook account?

or what this guy said:

by the way, if you want to get the unlock code but mobile registration isn't avaiable for your country, you can still get the sms by editing the source code of the request form by pressing f12 on chrome and hardcoding your phone number and your prefix in. After you press submit there are no checks for the prefix and you get the sms just fine.

Hello, was thinking about buying a P8 , offcourse i want to root it but on the huawei site i read that unlocking the p8 will cause loss of DRM keys. Does anyone knows if it affects the device in some sort of way? With sony it resulted in loss of BIONZ and some other things. Tia greets Dirk.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] ralfbergs:
Loss of DRM keys means you can no longer play content that has been encrypted for your device. If you can deauthorize the device and reauthorize it (or you can simply authorize "another" device) that's obviously not an issue...

I'm not aware of any other adverse effects...

[Q] Huawei P8 GRA-UL00

Hi guys,

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread..can't post a question elsewhere due to >10 posts.

So I bought a P8 yesterday (more of an impulse buy) as my M7 was dying a slow death.

Loving the P8 so far..but have one gripe..I'm sitting on Android 5.0.

It seems I've upgraded from a hardware perspective but downgraded software wise (my M7 was on 5.1.1)

I have tried to run the updater app but it seems I'm on the latest version. Does anyone know how/whether I can upgrade to 5.1.1 and what does GRA-UL00 means?

The dev scene seems a bit sad for the P8, hope some devs soon jump the boat..

Thanks

Sam
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Rashad83:
UL00 is your model version, there is two versions of p8 one with 1 sim tray and NfC capability(the L09), and the other is with dual sim capability and no NFC(UL00, UL10). The latest update for the UL00 is v180(most Asia Pacific, china got v210 but still 5.0.1 i think) and yeah it's 5.0.1 lollipop. Don't worry we will be getting the marshmallow update soon maybe next month or in February because it's a flagship device, so until then hold on tight.

The L09 can be updated to 5.1.1(Beta version) but the UL00 cannot.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] NoaBunny:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to root my P8 GRA-L09 but for some reason it's not working, please tell me what am I doing wrong :/

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] samhtcone:
Thanks for pointing out the differences mate.

I'm definitely on Android 5.0 (B160) and there are no updates after that.

Wonder why Huawei would create segmentation based on hardware differences.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] beardedwonder:
You may need to run the commands as an administrator.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] QQboss:
little bit of OT, but thinking of rooting this beauty, and not sure about this part of their unlock agreement:

This doesnt mean, that warranty is fully gone, right? Only when they find out that you cause the damage (not sure how they gonna find out) by flashing something. I am affraid though, that when something happenes and the reason is not even remotely because of flashing the device, they will just say you did it and warranty wont cover it. Just wrote to huawei for more info about how they stand on it, but no response.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Rashad83:
They can know from the bootloader, if you root you unlock it, and if you try to lock it back it says "relocked" in stead of the original status of "locked" and there is no way to go around it. Now regarding the warranty it depends on the country or service center some are kind they will overlook it some won't. Either way they have the right to say no but usually if your device is broken due to hardware issues they will fix it.

Regarding whether to root it or not, my advice is if you just bought it then don't root yet try it out for a month then see how. Second if you are rooting it just to use apps requiring root and you can't live without them then simply go ahead and root but do the research required to understand rooting. Third if you are rooting just to install custom roms then don't because there is little development for this device and not worth it.

And finally if you are the type of person who doesn't take care of his device, then don't root because you will definitely need the warranty.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] QQboss:
ye thanks... I am not new in this kind of stuff, I just hate when these warranty arangements are not clear about what they actually say, they should be. I think with this phone full of crapware, its must do to root, just to extend battery life a bit by freezing or deleting all of it.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Rashad83:
Actually having owned an LG and a Samsung device before, Huawei bloatware is less compared to them and they have more useful apps than them. I love the phonemanager app very useful to control apps and battery similar to clean master app. I suggest you limit the amount of apps protected in the phonemanager app that way they will be killed and not on when the device is idle, also you can use greenify to improve the battery performance.

How do we go about rooting the marshmallow update?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] milanomaiia:
GRA-UL00 refers to mobile version as example my Phone is P8 GRR=UL10 thats mean i should choose GRA-UL00 category
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] TopperBG:
Bootloader mode will start after Vol- and Power. With 3 button method you forcibly start software update (the update located in /dload folder in inside or external memory). And yes, you can badly hurt you phone if interrupt it.

can't boot into custom recovery modes

Hi, i tried rooting my huawei all evening, but can't get it to work. This is what i did so far: i successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp-2.8.7.1-p8.img (tried cwm-p8-nogui.img as well).

The problem is i can't run either of those custom recovery modes (through button combo or cmd). Instead the phone loops the huawei starting logo. Luckily i have been able to get back into the normal OS by using the reboot command a couple of times. I'm using the Android 5.1.1 . Is it possible that those custom recovery modes work only with an older OS version? What can i do? Please help me i need the root desperatly to fix another unrelated bug!
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] TopperBG:
5.1.1 ? Which rom exactly?

To start custom recovery, must use Vol+ and Power
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] etwasanonymes:
It's the stock rom. The phone was bought from Vodafone Germany and has a few of their apps installed but it's doesn't have a netlock.

But i need the recovery mode to flash it, right?? When ever i go into recovery mode it gets stuck in a boot-loop. This is so ****ed up, i think i bricked it. :(

Is there any other custom recovery mode i can try other then twrp and cwm?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] TopperBG:
You need fastboot mode to flash custom/stock recovery !
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
B200 is stable varsion, B191 is a beta. First thing you do not have touchplus option in B191

Probably battery is better because Cell standby is not the bigest power user. I've been on B191 only a few days

i would like to test it, im just wondering if there is any bug list of 5,1,1 list of known problems?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] lesiot:
He have flashed twrp! (He wrote it here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64583055&postcount=221)

He can't do that:

to copy and install SuperSU.

IMHO this twrp image works only with Android 5.0.1 (for sure not works with 6.0).

Did you try recovery.img from B191? That should works... becasue you just back to recovery.img wchich you had had, before flashed twrp.

It will be better, when you back to stock recovery B191, and don't root p8 on any beta roms!

Get recovery.img from B191 (copy file to one folder with fastboot and adb on PC), and do:

1. Connect P8 to PC (USB)

2. Power + Volume Down (until white screen fastboot mode apears).

3. On PC open cmd in folder wher you got recovery.img fastboot and adb.

4. In cmd window:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

If you didn't flash any other files (especialy system.img or boot.img) before that should cause ypue have stock recovery from B191 and system should works (without root of course).
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] TopperBG:
He wrote - I can't get in recovery mode. Sorry I'm lost what he want to do at last..
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] etwasanonymes:
I will try to explain again: ;)

- I don't have a working operating system (thats the reason why i need the root access, or at least a working recovery to reset to stock android)

- I dont have a working recovery mode (instead the phone turns on/off endlessly, -> "boot-loop")

- The bootloader is unlocked and i can connect with fastboot

- Root access is still locked.

I can't find the recovery of b191 anywhere on the internet. Do you have a link? I tried p8-stock-RECOVERY-B170.img and recovery-p8-l09-B132.img as well as twrp-2.8.7.1-p8.img and cwm-p8-nogui.img.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] lesiot:
Here is B191 update package -> https://mega.nz/#!bc8jEIDC!dAFRg6OKL_Wvyk21xTxdVokd1vPEAUyPkZmfhzB9XTs

Unpack update.zip

Use Huawei Extractor to extract update.app -> in update.app should be recovery.img
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] 30adi:
You can download it from here:

http://www.huawei-info.de/p8

Latest beta version is B350

Base needs to be B200

B200 -> full update B191 -> ota update B350

Can't find any bug list for you.

You can find lots of infos on android-hilfe.de forum, translate with google, it's a german forum.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] lesiot:
Now it will be better if you update some full stock stable rom (B170), and don't install any betas.

Check in setings -> about phone do you have any IMEI.

http://xdaforums.com/android/develo...-p8-failed-t3260704/post64346131#post64346131

If not... it's very bad :( - and don't ask on this forum how to get back - http://xdaforums.com/android/development/repair-imei-noobs-t3272587

Mayby try download full rom B170, copy update.app (2.91GB) to folder /dload on sdcard, and force update (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down) or local update (settings -> updater). Don't connect phone to PC during update!

Sometimes downgrading from beta isn't simple.

P8 Marshmallow recovery with root shell

Hello, I am new to xda thats why I can not open a separate thread for this. But it is related to rooting.

I found out something that could be interesting for those who want to root their P8 with the latest firmware installed. I packed a recovery Image based on the stock recovery image of the marshmallow update but with the /sbin folder of the cwm-p8-nogui.img because no existing recovery worked for me. The image enables an adb root shell when booting into recovery. It is possible to write to the /system partition but you can not flash .zip files - this part of the recovery seems broken. Without the possibility to flash zips we can not install Chainfires systemless root. I tried to root it manually by doing the steps explained in the systemless root thread but had no success. Disabling SELinux worked neither. Maybe someone has an idea how to fix this.

Here is the file: www17.zippyshare.com/v/kBPBFyPD/file.html

Simply flash the cwm_nogui_p8_mm.img via fastboot. Then reboot to recovery.

To connect to adb in recovery run these commands as root:

#: adb kill-server
#: adb shell

I could only test the connection with a Linux machine. Don't know if it works with Windows too.

If you want to unpack and repack the recovery image by yourself you need the tools unmkbootimg and mkbootimg. You have to compile mkbootimg from source because you have to change the offsets the way unmkbootimg says. Then follow this explanation: whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Rooting (works the same way for recovery images).

You will need a computer with ADB driver installed ADB and relevant utilities

1. Download and unpack the installation archive

2. Turn off the smartphone and put it into "fastboot" - to do this connect USB to computer and press and hold

at the same time the two buttons: "power" and "volume minus".

3. For the firmware, open the appropriate folder (stock recovery or TWRP) and run the. bat file. Opens the command window. Follow the instructions.

After flashing recovery you need without having to use the system immediately to enter recovery. Otherwise the system will restore stock recovery.

When you first start TWRP asks "whether to Leave the system partition read-only?Here check the box for Never show this screen and confirm by swiping. Do not click "KEEP READ ONLY".
