I have a P8 Lite that was running Android 5.0 that I rooted using ADB/FASTBOOT etc. The bootloader is obviously unlocked. It worked fine for months.

The phone did an auto upgrade an bricked itself on the reboot.

I downloaded B525 and forced APDATE.APP to load.

Due to single/dual SIM disagreement it calls itself BalongC52B311. No problem, I'll accept that for now. I don't need OTA upgrades.

I placed TWRP3.0.2 in the Recovery partition. (Wonderful product). I do lots of backups and restores. Everything works fine. Android 6.0 is beautiful.

I now want to root the mobile.

I have tried ALL the suggested and confused versions of SuperSU, whether BETA or SR1 or SR2 or UPDATE and the associated procedures listed in this thread. They all crash. Every last one of them

Is there anyone on this esteemed forum that can clearly articulate (using accepted capitalization and comprehensible grammar) what steps are required using which specific and exact versions of Chainfire's wonderful SU?

Thank you.
[P8lite General] :
You could try magisk version it works great.
[P8lite General] Fykovan:
Thank you. It works perfectly. I much appreciate your help. An amazing tool. Thanks again.
[P8lite General] lycante:
Followed this. Didn't work, however it's the first one that didn't brick my phone yet.

Anyway, it all goes as planned until after installing 1.zip. It says to open supersu, close and then uninstall, but there is no supersu after flashing it. There is no supersu after flashing 2.zip either.

What am I missing?

EDIT: Turns out I do have root access, but I can't find a device folder in the root. There is a data folder but it's empty. What then?
[P8lite General] :
Install superuser from store?
[P8lite General] udtul:
Hi

Can I use this method to root and install TWRP for huawei ale-l21 C636B540 marshmallow emui 4.0 asaia nepal firmware.

Can I use [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]s flash fire app to update keeping root.

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

You flashed stock recovery via fast boot or not.

Simply unrooting by su will work to upgrade or flashing stock recovery is mandatory.

Thanks in advance for help guys.

[P8lite General] djcioc:
Hi,

I've rooted my P8 lite like in this post some months ago, and now I want to ask you if I can update my phone from ALE-L21C432B574 to ALE-L21C432B584-FULL, because it just appeared on Huawei Updater.

Is there any risk? Or it will brick my phone if I try to upgrade?

Thank you.
[P8lite General] RizwanH20:
Update will fail if you have TWRP and nothing bad will happen
[P8lite General] djcioc:
Thanks. After this post I saw that we have here a discussion about this, and I need to have original recovery... My phone is working very good now, so I will stay with the old software until major changes are implemented.
[P8lite General] EzioTheDeadPoet:
BETA-SuperSU-v2.67 or new version

Can i also use a newer version of SuperSU ?
[P8lite General] godoy.rafa:
I have installed first BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651 and then SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SYSTEMMODE, and it worked just fine. But it keeps asking to update binary, should I?

ALE-UL00 B575.
[P8lite General] RizwanH20:
Yes you should

Anyone tried that custom rom?:

[P8lite General] amageek:
Yes it works perfectly... Was using this ROM few months back... Changed it to stock only to play Pokemon GO...
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
Do anybody have the same problem that super mario run is not working with P8 Lite? Have root, so it is the problem?

Edit: So, other people has same problem. This game is not compatible with P8 Lite, because it's to bad for this. Can we do it anyway? I had 10€ for this saved and now both devices are not workung with this. On Moto G don't start, on P8 Lite don't install possible. So, I can the money spend for other things like good real life hobbys :cool: They don't want the money, right? There is no other reason to do it incompatible on my both devices :eek:
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
No issues with my P8lite :svetius:
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
Hm, my device don't pass the safety check. Maybe that is the reason for this. But I can live without the game. Life is going on ;)
[P8lite General] metonator:
If that could be helpful, i needed to restore original kernel and recovery, uninistall root, then super mario run becomed compatible with device.
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
Shouldn't be needed all that you mentioned.

I have a CAM B151 ROM rooted with magisk and cherry recovery ;)
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
I think that is the original kernel, have root uninstall with SuperSU App. The only thing is the recovery. But I want TWRP :silly: Maybe that wouldn't be enough, too. And then I have to do close up the bootloader again. But the point is that everything else is running well. Play movies, music, books, all working. That's good, otherwise I would never visit the play store again. Hope that this works in the future, too. We have paid for this, so should it works. But why are the rules for super mario run so high? It's just a simple game and where is the problem to use it on phones with no passed safety check?

Edit: At the new post: That's crazy. Safety Check passed on your device?
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
No, but won't be needed till now.

If you are in B594, flash stock kernel and then root with magisk, in the app magisk go to the settings and set to magisk hide, and should be enough.
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
I have the stock kernel. And root is easy back over the SuperSU App. Hm, don't want risk the good working rom. Maybe the problem is the Cerberus V2 ROM. But everything else working perfect. No problems at all. Super mario run works just as apk-install, but fails after the download of the data. So the game is over very fast. And that's because it's not fits to the play store, right?
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
In the cerberus rom the boot is patched by supersu, my idea is patched by magisk, at least I'm in the similar situation and it's working.
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
But why just this app is not working? All other working, so, it's crazy :eek:

Where are the differences between the two patch-methodes?
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
Magisk is better to hide root, but here isn't the point, I have done a clean install of Cerberus v2 and Mario it is run without issues.
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
That's crazy. Why it doesn't work on my phone? I have do the same as you. I use TWRP 3.1 alice now (but rom installed with old version) and have uninstall root over Super SU App. So, why not working? It's crazy :laugh:

Edit: Has it not worked before for you on Cerberus V2? So what did you do change by install the rom this time?

Edit2: Another person with same problem here: http://www.gutefrage.net/frage/super-mario-run-funktioniert-nicht
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
I installed Cerberus V2 just for testing Mario.

Google Play install apk without issues but after a while an error 804-5100 starts annoying :(
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
That is what I want to tell you ;) But I will stay on Cerberus V2, because everything else just working fine so far.
[P8lite General] GoHelpMeOut:
Guys i need an immediate help from developers!

Hello! I have a Huawei P8Lite SMART, meaning, the Wi-Fi problem is fixed when trying to upgrade to Marshmallow. The full name of the phone model is Huawei P8Lite - smart V01cC212B124 . I cannot (for the life of me) find the upgrade version for Marshmallow 6.0 0r 6.0.1. I want to upgrade to this version without any risks of bricks (possibly through Odin) and potentially fix the low volume sound when i plug my headphones (tried 4 different headphones, the top quality ones seemed to not have even the medium volume). Guys, please, i beg for help and i will be grateful so much if you could help me!
[P8lite General] Tenderenden:
Black screen or bootloop

Unfortunately after flashing this package using TWRP 3.1 phone stucks like before animation. I also tried other SuperSU packages with only difference that on some it was stucking on bootloop rather than befrore it.

Do you know what I did wrong?

Any help appriciated.
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
Use sokkobans custom rom and flash magisk :)
[P8lite General] JFK1975:
Hello community,

I switched from b594 to b596 and finally to b598 this month.

Before going to 596 I made a hard reset and unrooted the phone cause I wanted to sell it. Now with B598 it finds WiFi network but it can't login.

I've heard there was a new kernel released with the updates. I haven't touched the bootloader after I unlocked it.

Any advise:confused:
[P8lite General] #Eviscerator:
B598

I'm tested this with several SuperSU releases in B598 model, european version, not working. Maybe i try to another SuperSU releases then i'll attach it to this post if works.

emui 4.0.3

guys does this work with devices running emui 4.0.3??? please reply!!:)
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
Root with magisk, it's better option.
[P8lite General] :
Agree to disagree

There's no "best" option.

Depending on users need of safetynet is another thing.
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
Magisk have everything that supersu has, plus much more better stuffs. So, why don't you chose that one which can do alot more?
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
Is it 100% safe?

Have ALE L21, B311, Unlocked with TWRP recovery. I tried once to root 6.0 with 5.0 files and I got soft brick (fixed it) so I'm frighten a bit because of people saying on this thread about how they got hard brick. Just asking, is it safe and is it compatible with my device?
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
Just flash magisk... That won't brake your phone.
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
Did flash magisk and it's kinda...****ty. Don't have full root access (can't access root files, uninstall system apps, can't backup data of an app...) and I just asked if my phone is compatible with 2.67 SuperSU so I won't damage it. And, don't have space for backup (8GB SD card, system+data 11GB...) so the only thing I wanna know is that is 2.67 gonna brick my phone? Tho' I can't find it on the link in desc. so I just downloaded it searching for it anywhere else and found it. Am I safe with flashing it? (BETA SuperSU 2.67 systemmode)
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
You did something wrong. Flashing magisk can't bring those problems.... Did you flashed magisk 13.6 and latest magisk manager?
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
Wait, dm me and give me skype or discord, can't do this over forum...
[P8lite General] RamHa:
huawei is so silly.... waiting to unlock boot 15days?!???? get out a here!
[P8lite General] TommyWhite:
[MENTION=8142707]jovanjerkov131[/MENTION] (nice name) ... it soft-bricked mine, but I'm a newbie.

[MENTION=7800689]D1stRU3T0R[/MENTION] do you mean Just flash magisk the same way as SuperSu?

So with TWPR? (Would be a bummer cause i cant get into TWPR anymore somehow.)

[MENTION=5721530]RamHa[/MENTION] What do you mean with wait 15 days? You can unlock it anytime by going to their website ... or do you mean something else?
[P8lite General] RamHa:
I meant that many user said that u should wait for unlock codes from Huawei from 15 up to 45 days! Is it true, still, now days???
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
You NEED TWRP to flash anything. I flashed 13.3 magisk, then updated to 14.0. When flashed 14.0 alone, soft brick.
[P8lite General] TommyWhite:
Yeah its strange. I first sended a mail asking for OEM code, but in 5 minutes I got it from their website.

Later I got a mail back that I needed to stay logged on for 15 days to get OEM code. Instead of telling me i can easily get it from their website.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Oh I tought you could flash things with fastboot as well ... at least cust, recovery, system and boot.

Do you know what cust is?
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
Nope. Just flash OpenKernel's 3.1 TWRP and backup system partiton. After that, flash either lastest SuperSU (they updated it so it wont 'dissapear' (2.82)) OR Magisk. You can also flash b895 update (necessary) and flash custom ROMs such as Resurrection Remix, Paranoid Android (AOSPA), Lineage 14.1...Im glad if I helped! :)
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
You unlocked it? If you haven't, just go on yt and find video on how to unlock it. There's this guy that posted a link for some unlocking tools and it generates code for unlock.
[P8lite General] TommyWhite:
But I had to flash cust, boot, recovery and system from some rom with fastboot one by one to get out of some softbrick.

Whats OpenKernel's TWPR? I now have Kirin's.

I have SuperSU now but took me a while (softbricks and errors) but I hear Magisk is better?

I would like that, but im a bit cautious now.

B895 update? Im to much a newbie to be messing around with custom ROMs I think.
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
Ooh. It's 3.1 TWRP, flash it if you have EMUI 4.x. And B895 is 4.1 EMUI system and without that system as some kind of surface, you'll likely brick your phone after flashing custom ROM. If you need any help with ROMs or B895, PM me. :)
[P8lite General] TommyWhite:
Ok thanks. I tought B612 was the latest update.

I do have another question: whats the best way to back up your entire phone?

And can't that be done in one back up? Not TWPR for system and Titanium (which is a study for me) for data.

I get confused reading about it.
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
B612 is the latest update... B895 AND B896 are old, and only one emui 4.1 roms made for vodaphone brand...
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
TWRP. But select both data and system partition. Boot as well. And hey if you wanna try out custom ROM, I can guide you :)
[P8lite General] TommyWhite:
Ok, but when I restore the backup with system partition after update to B611 (coz B612 is for dual sim right? and I only have one sim) won't that overwrite the update???
[P8lite General] jovanjerkov131:
You can find B611 online and reflash it (I've never tried that...). If you're cool with the ROM you have, keep it. If you want nougat, flash B895 with TWRP and then flash custom ROM of your choice. You can always reflash B895 from any custom ROM (Remember to factory reset it in TWRP before doing that) PM me man

Chinese firmware

Why do I have to have Chinese firmware? Isn't it good if I have Slovak firmware?
[P8lite General] TommyWhite:
I read more about those updates. Something you need for certain AOSP Andoid 7 Roms?

What is it about that particular updates (B895 n B896)?

And what does it have to do with vodaphone?
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
If you want custom roms install B895/B896 ;)
[P8lite General] RobertWielewicki:
Could also somebody help me out? ;)

I can not find a place where I can find out where are Huawei P8 Lite ALE-21 (Europe) stock files..

The links are down, or when I download a file, then i realize it is a version from Honor x4 etc.

Do somebody has a stock ROM from such a version (ALE-21 Europe), I would be greatful with a version with EMUI 4.0 or 4.1, but for now I will be happy with anything ;)

As I can't public links due to fact I am new here I'll put domains I've checked

huaweidevices.ru - all links down

Official Huawei page - can't find anything useful

boycracked.com - quite a lot of ROMs, and these are working, but it seems these aren't Huawei P8 Lite roms. Otherwise if these are stock P8 lites, whenever I'm trying to update'em (to EMUI 4.1 or EMUI 4.0), nothing changes (EMUI update crashes, saying it's not compatible version or if succeded - nothing but EMUI version is changing).

getdroidtips.com - essentialy looks like the same collection as above, but I'm posting, because one domain (or files themselves) may go down and this is sort of a backup of these files
[P8lite General] :
Tried huawei firmware finder?

Should have lots of firmwares anyone specific?

now it wont boot into Android, only Android logo and that`s that.

Now where to go ?
[P8lite General] diretouch:
Huawei P8 Lite with the Chinese 6.0 Firmware

could you give me valid link?

thanks
[P8lite General] CreeperGamingGR:
Thank you!!!
[P8lite General] jazmomo:
eh.. i searched about an hour now, but still i don't know:

is it still possible to root a p8 lite ALE-L21xxxxxxxxx ? without paying some obscure 3rd party guys?
[P8lite General] djcioc:
You can find all details in this forum, step by step. :)
[P8lite General] jazmomo:
yes , spread over about 326 postings. :crying:

most of the instructions aren't valid anymore, as we cannot get unlock code from huawei anymore.

now i downgraded to android 5.0 B170, i guess now i need to find instructions somewhere how to root this.

/edit: ok, after all i got it working.
[Mate 8 General] HuaweiMate8:
Hello folks

I ordered my Huawei Mate 8, 4GB RAM, x64 Octacore, 128 GB of internal storage on the 23rd of January 2016 from Amazon.it. On the 27th of January, the DHL arrived and delivered my phone! Since it came from China I had to pay 29 euros tax! I contacted the vendor and got this money reimbursed to me in no time.

So what is my first impression?

First of all, I have to say that the phone I got is destined to the Chinese market and not the European market. In fact, there are built in apps that even if you perform a hard reset and select English as the default language, some apps are still in Chinese.

From the hardware perspective, I can't say anything against it! Mate 8 is a real beast and dwarfs any other phone I've seen in size and performance!

What I personally didn't like about the device isn't the hardware, but the software and apps found/missing. After a complete reset, I thought I'd be able to login using my Gmail account, but there were no Google apps installed! So I had to download then from the browser

After I installed Google Play, I also had to manually download and install Google Contact Sync to sync my contacts!

The dialer has a Chinese app called Yellow Pages that you can't remove if you are not rooted. When you start typing numbers, it will automatically search YP and try to match the number with the company (paste the below path and add http to it. I'm a new user and apparently I can't post images yet)

Image here http://postimg.org/image/n3a6br0cj

The HiApp application also is entirely in Chinese

http://postimg.org/image/r5wsiudv7

The stock browser also is in Chinese and many other applications. If I am to give an advice to anyone, I'd say wait for the European version to come, because the device is really rocking, but the Chinese language might be irritating especially that you cannot remove some apps because you need root access!

Huawei permits you to unblock the bootloader, BUT, your device must be registered and you must have a HUAWEI ID and you must be using that device for at least 14 days (i.e. logged on, with Huawei ID on that device for at least 14 days). This isn't a problem, I can wait, otherwise with 4 or 5 euros there are some unofficial alternatives, but I prefer the official way, so I'll wait.

This is my device before I received OTA update (I live in Italy) while at home with my wireless connection

http://postimg.org/image/pm523nt4r

Is there a way to flash a European ROM to this device?

Will it work fine?

Does Huawei have any stock repository of ROMs to flash back?

Thank you
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
say what now, u got reimbursed by the seller because u had to pay import tax?! um.... isnt that a given when u order something from CHINA to ship to europe? :D btw, 29 euros is nothing, especially for the 128GB variant! O.o are the import taxes THAT low in italy? dayum...

as for the chinese apps, even a factory reset wont remove those, since theyre preinstalled system apps. ud need to root your phone and use an app like titanium backup to properly remove them. or you can use something like debloater app and disable those apps...

yes, the thing with the google apps is actually a known thing on the chinese mate 8 phones. only the international models have those preinstalled. but good work on figuring out how to setup everything properly on your own :)

as for your last three questions, just take the time and read through the mate 8 forums here on xda, weve already accumulated a lot of info and experience and are still at it :)

enjoy your new beast!

cheers
[Mate 8 General] HuaweiMate8:
Thanks

Thanks for replying mate. Yes, I've just seen a thread talking about flashing a European ROM to a Chinese phone and it worked. The thing I didn't like is that the user had to pay 20 dollars to download it from an Iranian site... Hmmm, I'll pass and wait patiently for a more secure version.

Thanks for the heads up
[Mate 8 General] HuaweiMate8:
Taxes

Oh by the way, taxes in Italy are high, but the vendor (EtoTalk) didn't declare the official price on the package to avoid taxing!

Yes, that is what I expected, if I buy something from Amazon.it, then everything should be included in the price I pay. I contacted the vendor from Amazon then sent him the DHL receipt and in one working day I was reimbursed. I know, 28 euros are nothing with respect to the phone itself, but why leave them anyway? I could buy a good cover for it as I don't like the Golden original flip cover it came with!
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
nothing "unsecure" about that, im actually sporting that version on my phone and it works brilliantly ;)

but, just so it happens, a new B152 international ROM is available now: http://xdaforums.com/mate-8/orig-development/nxt-l29c432b152-ota-t3307707/post65135452#post65135452

edit: good job with getting reimbursed, i was just surprised, thats all ;)
[Mate 8 General] medicalman:
first of all congratulation for buying this nice phone

really am also so interested in buying this phone specially 128gb of internal storage

now after u buy and use this version do u advice me to buy this one

i read ur post in this thread but is the Chinese apps and missing a main google apps is so bothering u and make u to search for flashing European firmware instead of this room !!!

one last question ( is the Arabic languages available in the languages list or not )

thnx
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
well its not like i speak or understand arabic, but looking at the languages one is able to choose for the system, it seems there are a few language options with arabic type letters :)

this is on the chinese model AL10 running with B133 international rom
[Mate 8 General] CyberMomo:
For international rom yes for sure.
