It means space in /system. Get DiskUsage app to easily see free space in /System. If you have a lot--close to 1 Gb, say--I'm not sure problem. But try deleting some fat apps or move to /data. (Get an app that converts system apps to user apps. Rom Toolbox works.) I deleted the office program (mOffice, i think it's called), and converted Maps and Weather.

Running O.K.

Hi everyone

Just wanted to chime in and mention that I got everything straightened out. Now that I'm rooted and have Nova Launcher installed alongside some of my other favorite apps that were NOT available in the Amazon Appstore (pre-root), I'm absolutely loving the full-power of my Fire HD 6 :victory:
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] triplenine:
Hi All,

I kind of forgot that I had a Fire HD 6 and I just started playing around with this. I cannot get Kingroot to work for the life of me. I did a down grade to 4.5.3 using the developer preview and have tried using multiple versions of Kingroot. Processes through to 50-70% and gives me an "unable to root" error. I assume that I am missing something simple. I have blocked the OTA updater and followed the instructions. Any thoughts?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Brofreeman:
Kingroot won't work without an internet connection. Sometimes kingroot needs to run more than once.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] triplenine:
It is internet connected. I will try it on a different network and see what I can come up with, I guess?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
FWIW, [MENTION=4132995]st0nedpenguin[/MENTION] said yesterday it took more than 50 tries. :( If you haven't tried Kingroot 4.0.0, you can find that online. It's the verson that was first used to root Fire OS 4.5.3. (And BTW, everything in these forums applies to both Fire HD 6 and 7.)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] triplenine:
I will keep trying. I will dig back to 4.0 and see if that makes a difference. I will update when I get new results.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Brofreeman:
kingroot need an internet connection to call home for some reason. if their servers are down maybe that's why you can't root.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Stoffl_:
Thanks for the guide @Op, looking forward to trying this.

Just a quick question, my Fire HD 7 is allready rooted and has Gapps installed via JMZ's handy little app.

Can I just start at step 3.) ?

Should I uninstall the gapps package first ?

*Edit*

nvm, it's mentioned in the link in 4.)

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] creamerdp:
Will this work with 4.1.1?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] jockovonred:
IF you mean Kingroot 4.1.1, yes it does.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] zenchowdah:
How long should the update to 5.0 take? ive been on a scrolling fire screen for about ten minutes.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] dardack:
I bought a used one off eBay. Booted up fine. Side loaded king root. It failed to root. After settings screen was blank flickering. So I rebooted. Same flickering. So booted into recovery and did factory reset. Now it's in boot loop. It gets to upgrading then back to fire logo. Then starting applications then back to logo. Then stays on logo. Been 30 minutes. Tried twice. Any help.

Warning

A word of warning!

I upgraded my Fire HD6 running 4.5.4 to the dev preview, then downgraded to 4.5.3 using the .bin from the links provided. I the did a reboot and was running 4.5.3. I locked the otaverifier as per the next step, and installed Kingroot. When attempting to root, it reported "Network Error". It seems like a common problem, maybe the server is blocked from my current network. As far as I could tell, it didn't even try to root yet.

I went on to play with the system a bit, saw there was an update pending, but didn't care as I had blocked the otaverifier. Figured I would just try it again from a different network later, and went to lunch. It is now super hard bricked. No signs of life other than the constant "MT65xx preloader" being added and removed in devmanager.

So, my best estimate is that Kingroot did put something in the boot process, but wasn't able to root, so it is now stuck in a boot loop.

If you get to the KingRoot step and it doesn't work, do not let the device idle!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GirishSharma:
First, I would like to request to use full words in any international forum when you replies, not like hv,whn,phn,vol,n... etc. these seems vague and unprofessional behavior.

I think you should uninstall all the existing ADB and USB drivers and then just only install adb-setup-1.4.2.exe, and SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0.exe (you can get by googling). These will let you work for any existing,non-existing drivers for OPO and then you may move further.

Hey i don't know if you've solved this problem yet or not, but if your device can't even be detected like mine was at one point - get the OnePlus One Recovery Tool - it worked for me, I tried everything driver-wise and I just used this. It was pretty easy

A thank you and some notes for future users

The original Spanish version uses the same files and works for my Dutch P8 Lite ( v100r001c432b046 )

You can find the link to the zip file in the pdf file from smchohan.

UNLOCKING

Huawei answered quite quickly (7 hours) (I also mentioned my Product ID) and I used my own Android SDK executables to unlock the bootloader.

Contrary to what I found online I didn't lose any user data while unlocking.

ROOTING

The bat file wouldn't run for me, so I manually executed the commands to see what was going on.

I used my own executables (Android SDK) and decided not to install the Google drivers (UniversalAdb Driver Setup6) (stupid me).

So when Windows start looking for Nexus drivers it couldn't find them. Solved it by installing them, unplugging my phone and re-executing adb.exe reboot recovery

After this I got an error while transferring the SuperSU binary. Solved it by using the executables delivered in the zip file instead of my own adb.exe

I created an account just to share my experiences and to thank the original author and OP for translating.
[P8lite General] smchohan:
Not sure if all root apps will work currently on this phone

Thankyou pietjpuk92 for sharing your experiences.

Surely this is translated and recompiled from huawei website and a spanish forum.

After rooting my device i installed key to supersu free to make it supersu pro, all root apps work fine, tested root explorer and flashify but titanium backup latest and few old version does not work with full functionality, especially when i tired to convert a user app to system or a system app to user it just stuck in processing. Its not problem with root but few apps needs to updated for this device.

Hi Guys

Newb here. I got hold of the bootloader unlock code from Huawei Mobile and am trying to root my P8 Lite.

Having difficulties with step B. When I execute "fastboot devices" nothing happens. Phone is connected and "phone locked" is displayed.

Any ideas?

Cheers
[P8lite General] PietjePuk92:
These are the steps I followed to unlocked the bootloader:

1. Make sure USB debugging is enabled / HiSuite is able to make a connection

2. Check if you see your device with "adb devices"

3. Reboot into fastboot mode with "adb reboot bootloader". If you see "phone locked" than the bootloader is still locked.

4. Unlock the bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock ****************"

5. Wait. If the phone doesn't reboot by itself execute "fastboot reboot"

The "devices" command is used to see if your computer has a connection to your device.
[P8lite General] smchohan:
First switch on usb debugging in developer options. you will be able to access developer option in this phone by going in settings/about phone and then tapping build number several times. after enabling developers mode connect your phone to PC. once you connect your phone to PC switch it off, and then switch it on by pressing volume down and power key together for few seconds, a white screen should appear at bottom of which phone lckoed is written.

now write in command fastboot devices and press enter you should see serial number of your phone in terminal. If still not working message here again i will write down more detail on it.
[P8lite General] maxpowers410:
Thanks for the headsup, working now.

Started the process, runs through, install the drivers and gets stuck.

At this point the phone screen is black and the bat says "Installing SuperSU...."

Hangs here for some time and nothing happens. Restart the phone manually and nothing has changed. The bat file continues after the manual restart, it restarts the phone into the fastboot "phone unlocked". Restarts again, starts up normally, bat file finishes and phone is not rooted.

Can anyone push me in the right direction?

Thanks
[P8lite General] PietjePuk92:
You may have the same problem as me with the bat file not working correctly.

Open the bat file with a text editor and look for the commands that are executed (TASKKILL, adb.exe & fastboot.exe). In Notepad++ these will be light blue instead of dark blue.

Open a commandline window in the same folder as the bat file and manually execute the commands. The comments in the file (echo's) will be your guidance.

If you still have a problem, please mention at which command the error occurs.
[P8lite General] smchohan:
Make it sure that you installed UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi file present in ROOT/data folder before starting step C. First install and then begin. when it shows black screen first time, on PC you will see installation of some drivers let it complete, then continue.

Hi! I wrote an e-mail to Huawei but they didn't reply after 4 days. Is there another solution please?
[P8lite General] smchohan:
Could not say any thing about it, as it depends on huawei they have to provide unlock code, in my case it came after a day, but due to weekend they might have delayed. Wait for a day more, hopefully you will get code, or mail them again.
[P8lite General] smchohan:
Still no news but have to wait for a while, it will be there soon.

And I have a question but it is NOT related to this thread but I'm writing here cuz I couldn't find any other general Q&A thread. So can I use a theme on my Huawei P8 Lite EMUI 3.1 with lollipop 5.0 a theme that is only for Huawei P8 EMUI 3.0 ? Will it work? Here is the link: http://www.huaweithemes.cf/2015/05/newborn-theme-p8-built-in-for-emui-30.html
[P8lite General] smchohan:
Hopefully you will get code or send them email again with correct serial number.

About your question answer is yes you can use any hwt theme, for that;

First download this theme, it will be downloaded in /download folder of internal storage, copy it from downloads to /HWThemes folder. Now open themes app and you will see it there, apply it.
[P8lite General] YuYu_Man:P:
So it doesn't matter if I use that theme even it's for Huawei P8 EMUI 3.0 ? Will it brick my phone?
[P8lite General] smchohan:
I am using all p8 themes on p8 lite, no problem at all.

Hello

I currently have TWRP installed but the OS is gone after I made a mistake. I used this tutorial to root the phone originally:

http://www.gizdev.com/rooting-huawei-p8-lite-root-install-twrp-recovery-gapps/

Can I use TWRP_2.8.7.x_P8Lite_kirin_v2.img to put things back together? How can I install it through the TWRP menu?

Thank you.

"The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days."

No you can't, let me say it better: with kingroot you don't have to unlock bottloader, kingroot do it for you so after having root you have unlocked bootloader.

Tried to get bootloader code using the exact information from your original post from Huawei, this is what was returned by them:

Dear User：

Huawei Customer Service is pleasure to be at your service,sorry to bring you the trouble,if you want to unlock your phone, you should meet these conditions as follow:

1.Please register your Huawei ID in our official website http://huawei.com/en/ on your phone.

2.Log in your Huawei ID for continuously 14 days.

3.Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than twice within half years.If you meet the information,please go to http://emui.huawei.com/en/ and click the 'download'button to login your Huawei ID other than any other third party ID to apply for the unlock code.Please contact us by mail or local service hotline as following if error message appears.

TEL： http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=hotline

Mail： http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email

Please submit your mobile model, SN, IMEI/MEID and erro message in your e-mail.We also need to know that your phone is rooted, it can be out of the best working state and part of functions may not be able to work normally. In additon, the system is vulnerable to be invaded by viruses once your phone is permitted to unlock. What's more, for the lacking of fully tested, the third party software will not be compatible with your phone. Unlocking will bring unexpected negative impacts and the device will be not normal, and can not be restored, Huawei after-sales service office will not provide warranty service for your rooted phone, and you may bear the cost. So we strongly advise you to think it twice.

If you have any other problems, please send your feedback to us. We will be at your service to help you to solve your problems.

Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.

Best Regards.

Huawei Device Customer Care Team.(3210)

Plus, their phone-friendly mobile site does not include a link to login or register an account, so doing so from your phone as they suggest, isn't happening.

Basically, no bootloader unlock codes forthcoming from Huawei, as far as I can see. Not easily anyway. Not as easy as just sending them an email with your info.
[P8lite General] Jossepos:
kun je nu wel met de ALE-L21 gegevens om unlock code vragen? dus de twee SIM codes en de SN. Of moet dat nog steeds met Y300-0000 of zo?

Here is easy way of unlocking bootloader of most Huawei phones

1-root your device with kingroot.apk

2-enable usb debugging and authenticate

3-issue following commands in command prompt:

i-adb devices

II-adb shell

III-su -c "grep -m1 -aoE 'WVLOCK.{14}[0-9]{16}' /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 |grep -aoE '[0-9]{16}'"

make sure to grant permission from kingroot on your pnone

you will get your bootloader unlock code

IV-adb reboot bootloader

open command prompt again and issue following command

fastboot oem unlock (your bootloader code)

enter

don

you have unlocked Huawei p8 lite now
[P8lite General] amageek:
Yes folks this method works 100%..tried this 3 weeks ago and since then rooted and bootloader unlocked..

If that 3rd command doesnot work on Windows (did not work on mine) download Cygwin and run all commands there..
