[Mate 8 General] ajsmsg78:
There is a thread here where a few people talked about how to fix the theme issue. Just do a search for it
[Mate 8 General] vlefevre86:
Hello there.

I'm just interested in rooting my phone, and I'm not planning to flash any ROM. Do I need to format data ? Once I'm rooted, I won't go in TWRP any more, so I don't really care if it can't see my internal storage or anything...

In short, do I really need to decrypt ?
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
If rooting is all.that you need, twrp as well as decrypted image may.not be necessary, but then, root doesn't remain permanent as stock rom and Huawei encryption wouldn't allow.root
[Mate 8 General] vlefevre86:
Hum, not sure I understood what you meant... Is there a root method without TWRP ? And what do you mean by "root doesn't remain parmanent" ? I guess I'll have to re-root after each OTA update from Huawei, but then it's only a matter of re-flashing superSU, right ?
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
You will need to flash supersu.zip, right!

That you can't do without a custom recovery.

Reed about root
[Mate 8 General] vlefevre86:
So I DO need TWRP ? No offense, but your first answer had me lost, with all your points and spaces missing...

And I know what root is, I've been rooting my phones since 2009 :) I'm just not used to them being encrypted...

Put in another way : can I root the Mate 8 without loosing all my data ? (bootloader unlock -> install TWRP -> flash superSU, and that's it ?)
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Yes true

But unlocking boot will erase whole data

Back up via hisuite on pc or usb stick and.then do.those steps.

Lol seriously sorry for my typos
[Mate 8 General] vlefevre86:
Ok, that's what I feared...

Thanks anyway !
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Unlocking always erases data of phone as well as sd-card

I have lost enough data to know this ;)

Success Root

Thank you for your guide step and I'm success rooting my huawei mate 8 B170 Build yesterday. The question is, am I going to brick my root because the B180 build (latest update) is already downloaded. Please help
[Mate 8 General] DarkSilentSC:
You need to press both volume up and volume down key with power button to go into TWRP. Keep the fastboot flashing consistent to other partitions. Now that you mention it I think I now know what recovery and recovery2 are for... If that doesn't work, extract the original image images using huawei firmware extractor, fastboot flash boot and recovery img files and try again.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

Unless you are flashing B321, you can mitigate this by flashing pre-rooted custom ROM with version B180 via TWRP. (stock ROM with modified for root, KangVIP, Twisted Mate, etc.)

Can't register with Huawei ID

This is the message I get when trying to sign up with Huawei ID:

"due to service location restrictions, the system is unable to provide services to you"

Help would be appreciated!
[Mate 8 General] jasaero:
My work around to this was to sign up on a computer so I had a working login. Then I signed into the Cloud services and the rest seemed to come automatically after. For some reason the main Huawei ID login didn't work...but signing into the cloud services from settings did....but then the rest would autologin with that one. Oh and you can't be upgraded to the latest version of the Huawei ID app if you are on B321 or B323. Seemingly it seems it's maybe related to those versions as I had this issue....but nobody else seems to say anything about it.
[Mate 8 General] danywalkert:

Relocked Bootloader get back to open

Hi,

I recently opened the bootloader of my Mate 8 and then closed it again (fastboot oem relock......). The phone is now in the status "Phone relocked" FRP Lock.

I thought it would be possible to use the same procedure again to open the boot loader (fastboot dem unlock .....) but that did not work.

Any ideas who I can re-open the relocked bootloader again?

I have got an unlocking code from Huawei and checked if there is another (for the relocked phone) but the code is the same.

Any help or workarounds are highly appreciated.

Thanks, Kai

Hey guys, trying to follow the guide in the OP. Successfully unlocked bootloader, and presumably flashed TWRP, but when I try to boot into it, I get into Huawei eRecovery instead. Here is the output of flashing TWRP using fastboot in download mode:

The sending time and writing time are suspiciously short, but I do have a very fast laptop and using USB 3 port, so this might be OK.

Any idea why TWRP doesnt seem to stick and I get stock recovery instead, when trying to boot into it?
[Mate 8 General] grofock:
Hi Apo11on,

What procedure you make to boot into TWRP ?

I presume you're not root yet, so you have to unplug your phone, reboot it, and hold vol up button.
[Mate 8 General] Apo11on:
I kind of figured it out. For some reason, the phone boots into stock recovery from powered off state (Vol Up + Pwr), but if I press "reboot" button in stock recovery, while holding Vol Up key - then it boots into TWRP. Also, I'm not using the TWRP version, published in this thread. I'm using this one instead. It is much better - has full encryption support, so TWRP can see internal storage, without the need to decrypt, it's much newer TWRP base version, and nicer color theme.

Huawei Mate 8 Europe - Encrypted or not?

Does European versions of Huawei Mate 8 NXT-L29 running on C432B180 firmware require a patched boot image to remove internal storage encryption?
[Mate 8 General] loudog3114:
Anyone get a version of the manufacturer mode drivers that work on Windows 10 x64? I can't get them to work on W10x64 or W7x32.
[Mate 8 General] djtetei:
I am about to receive a Huawei NXT-L29 running on C432B180 Europe firmware version.

As far as i know Huawei NXT-L29 comes with internal storage encryption active by default.

After watching the video tutorial i come to the following conclusion: in order to install supersu, you first flash a patched boot image to remove internal storage encryption. By doing that you lose the benefit of data encryption on the phone.

The ideea here is to be able to obtain root over the phone system without losing data encryption.

Let's suppose that I do not want to install a custom firmware on the phone, but just obtain root over the system, to be able to install and use apps that require root access.

Could we just put supersu.zip on external micro sd and install it from twrp recovery without flashing a patched boot image that will remove encryption on internal memory?

In several tutorials the supersu.zip is copied on intenal memory and then installed on the phone via twrp recovery. But for this to succeed twrp recovery needs to see the intenal storage of the phone, which is encryted by default.

What is the purpose of having root access if we have to give away data encryption capability?
