Ok.... huawei not allow me to login...how I can rooot this?
[P8lite General] Mdetring:
Consider updating 'how to unlock bootloader' part since it looks like huawei changed how it allows users to get the code. It really sucks that I have to login and logout for 14 days continuosly on their website. This is the reply I've received when I asked for my bootloader code via email:

Is there any chance you still have this zip somewhere? Unfortunately Google deleted it from the link you provided.

I would like to root my phone, but the link in the description is not working for me. It says, "Unfortunately, you do not have access to this item because it violates our Terms of Service."

Link was in Topic B in the .pdf ( how to root etc.)

Can anyone send me the file?

Thanks.

Same goes for me, i got my new phone today so i wanna try stuff out with my old Huawei (that way i dont really mind bricking it in case). Unfortunately yea, the 2nd Link is blocked by google.

It seems the second file has been taken down by Google for a while now, how did you guys manage to solve this? I don't really trust any other sites when it comes to rooting...

Thank you in advance for your help!

Flash the Magisk .zip in TWRP instead. It's open source plus it has modules that can add extra functionality, in addition to root.

[P8lite General] JpegXguy:
Try the second option "unofficial" from here https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-huawei-smartphone/ and if that doesn't work use https://www.dc-unlocker.com/ it's been here a long time and I've seen good reports on it. You just need to pay a small amount.

Also don't buy Huawei because they ****ed over a lot of users with the code thing

Re: unlock bootloader code request

Dear Customer,

Thank you for supporting Huawei products. To achieve better user experience, Huawei has decided to completely terminate the unlock code application service on 25th July”2018, and published the relevant announcement on the EMUI official website.

We apologies for the inconvenience caused. Please stay tuned on our official pages for latest updates.

Good evenings guys. I have found another root method for our P8 Lite. Here is the link: http://how-to-root.website/how-to-root-huawei-p8-lite-tutorial/ What do you think guys? Will it work? I saw some comments under that tutorial and they wrote that it's working. Thanks

Edit: I was searching and I found this: http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/2015/04/huawei-p8-lite-7201.html Does the tutorial for unlocking bootloader work? How about that pure Lollipop ROM? It looks pretty good.
[P8lite General] moto34:
Hello.

The first step works just fine.

2nd step doesn't work somehow.

What I do:

After step B) and with "Phone Unlocked" message on screen (unlocked boot loader successfully done):

Start STEP C)

1) Installed "UniversalAdb Driver Setup6"

2) Remove passwords etc from mobile

3) With phone connected to PC and USB debug enabled start bat file "INSTALAR-ROOT-P8-LITE".

3.1) Message at cmd:

It is necessary to restart this terminal in fastboot mode....

3.2) Mobile restart from previous state (fastboot)

Message at cmd:

>> When the phone has restarted and you can see unlocked home screen. PRESS ENTER

ENTER

3.3) Phone restarted

msg at cmd:

At this point, wait until the screen goes black.

Phone screen will turn black and driver installation

for google nexus will start on computer.

Once driver installation on computer is complete press ENTER.

Phone doesn't restart by is own so I touched power button. Phone restarted. After that at unlocked screen and since drivers already installed, press ENTER

Installing SUPERSU

After this should install and restart. Doesnt do anything...

I'm stucked !

[P8lite General] smchohan:
These are scams will ask you to complete offers and at the end you will not get anything, i compiled this tutorial as i performed this workaround and it worked. and thanks to few other useful post in this thread describing manual executions of adb commands. We will see in future simple procedures to do root but at this point i didn't find anything simpler than this.
[P8lite General] YuYu_Man:P:
Hi! So the ROM I posted and the root method won't work??
[P8lite General] smchohan:
Yes to best of my knowledge they will just move you around on websites to get some more clicks from you, you will actually not get to anything. If you have a computer you can risk for addwares just check them out and post your results here.

[P8lite General] Reyengine:
Thanks for the great tutorial

when unlocked is it possible to flash the custom recovery normally with fastboot and than just execute the su.zip from your internal storage in recovery mode.

just wanna know if i need the batch file
[P8lite General] smchohan:
Batch file is for making process convenient, you can open batch file in notepad and see all the commands and you can run them manually from terminal, few other posters in this thread are very good in working things out manually they can be of good help.

unlock bootloader code

I sent an e-mail for Huawei as you said and they told me:

Thank you for contacting Huawei device.

Sorry that after checking, we can’t find any releasing record for this item.

So we can’t provide the relevant WIDEWINE KEY according.

Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.

[P8lite General] mcmanjandles:
So... I tried to follow these instructions on an U.S. P8 Lite (ALE-L04). After unlocking the bootloader, flashing the recovery, rebooting, and sending the ADB REBOOT RECOVERY command, my phone will now only boot into fastboot. I can't reboot normally or into recovery using fastboot commands or volume/power button combinations. It always comes back in fastboot mode. Any suggestions?
[P8lite General] YuYu_Man:P:
Hello mates! When I connect my phone to PC via USB cabel and turn my phone into bootloader mode and I run Minimal ADB and fastboot and I type fastboot devices it did nothing. YES, I have USB Debugging ON. FYI: I don't have Huawei, USB or whatever drivers. Can you send me the link for it?

I also Downloaded HiSuite but when I connect my phone via USB cabel to computer it doesn't do anything and YES I had USB debugging ON.
[P8lite General] smchohan:
I am sorry to hear about your problem but these instruction and set of files will work with ALE-L21 not with US version of set as they differ in chipset, you can revive your set easily by re flashing it with its official ROM. I could not get a ALE-L04 to experiment on it in this part of world.
[P8lite General] YuYu_Man:P:
Hi! Please can you tell me how to solve my problem or something like that? Please my Question is above your asnwer to him.
[P8lite General] smchohan:
I am unable to understand where exactly you get the problem. This procedure will work on ALE-L21.

Do some thing like this.

1- Install hisuite on your PC, this will install drivers for your phone on PC.

2-Turn on USB debugging on your phone.

3-Connect your phone with PC and "allow" on phone connection to this PC.

4-Hisuite will try to install hisuite mobile app, accept it and install it.

5-Now you can see your phone connected in hisuite PC interface.

6-Now open on your desktop ROOT/data folder and install msi file.

7-Proceed from here onwards as described in tutorial.

Best of luck
[P8lite General] YuYu_Man:P:

Rooted my phone successfully.

The difficult part is proper driver, i eventually install huawei hisuite to get the correct driver.

Looks like its more and more hard to root phone.
[P8lite General] xybolt:
thank you

Firstly, thank you for providing a step to step guide. However i got problems when trying to upload the su.zip file. I could solve it by using adb shell command in boot mode after manually applying the commands in cmd.

Without your guide, i wouldn't know how to remove unwanted native apps from Huawei. A big thank you.

Still i have a question. After rooting, i ended up to an EMUI skin. Is there a way to remove that ? So that i can end in the native android lollipop skin ? This person in this video** has used the same files as what you have provided. But he ended at an android lollipop skin ? Or am i wrong ?

Like at the 4:37 (in the video) you can see an button in the center (white one with 4 small squares inside) which opens a menu for all apps. That's a feature from the standard android. I don't have that on my phone. Even the call / contact / message icon is from lollipop at his video, while at my smartphone, it still has huawei emui's skin theme. Did i have missed something ? :)

** apparently i don't meet the requirements of 10 posts to link to external sites ... -> video URL: youtube dot com/watch?v=pd2LJGymuJY
[P8lite General] hamudistan:
Hi, concerning your launcher issue, I use Nova Launcher to override Emui. Install it and set use nova as default launcher in the nova settings. It is not possi ble to choose it in settings>desings, only in the nova settings. It works perfect an no Emii no more

First day root I already messed up with my phone. Suspected unmounting both internal and external sd card using an outdated file manager. Music searched no songs, Pic searched no photos, Game searched no roms.

Luckily after factory reset, it's back to normal, keeps root too :)
[P8lite General] xybolt:
Ah, the author of that video (which i have posted) only used a different launcher. Thanks for telling that. I found that Nova Launcher in play store. It appears the same as what the author has in his video and i'm darn enthusiast about it. Way better than EMUI now :)

Vielen dank ( Thank you very much )

how to relock bootloader !?

i've tried to do that with fastboot ('fastbbot oem lock') but it said failed command not allowed :(

what should i do !!

Help stuck in fastboot mode.

Succesfully unlocked the bootloader, I tried to root, after going thru the process, It is just stuck in fastboot mode loop.

I was doing the first method of rooting with the INSTALAR batch file, but when it said it would restart the device to the home screen, it restarted back to fastboot mode. Now, trying to use the power button to restart leads to fastboot restarting. Using ADB to restart or boot to recovery does not work as it says, "error: device '(null)' not found." I'm not sure what went wrong. However, "fastboot devices" still works as well as "fastboot reboot."

My research has led me to others who've had the same problem with different devices, but they said it was solved by taking out the battery and returning it. However, this phone does not have a removable battery.

Please help!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting Huawei device.

Sorry that there have no bootloader unlock code for ALE-L21 items.

By default , you can do fastboot downloading for some images directly without Unlocking bootloader..

We suggest you'd better not root your device which would avoid the warranty and maybe cause it freeze.

Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device.

Best Regards.
