Hi, sorry for the OT, but I cannot create a thread so I have to write here. I have a Huawei P8 and I would like to unlock the bootloader but every time I try to connect to the huawei site it always tell me that the server is busy, so I'm hopeless. Can someone help me and do it for me?

Information:

Product: HUAWEI GRA-L09

SN: S7M0216108011240

IMEI: 869370023363473

THIS DOESN'T WORK AND WILL LEAD TO A BOOTLOOP!!!

The proper command to use in terminal is:

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

[MENTION=4093352]Rashad83[/MENTION] you should test and troubleshoot before writing a guide. Your signature says your P8 is still on Lollipop...

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: I am gonna write a proper howto, not just a quick brainless cut & paste from here and there

Regards
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
I apologize from everyone for the mistyping that is in the command line, and for causing any bootloop.

[MENTION=6233909]AD2076[/MENTION]:

1. Since you are so perfect, and know how to read signatures you should know there is no beta rom for my model's region and i can't test the code, but never the less i have got feedback from others who have tested the command line and it works for them http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65555974&postcount=26,http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65568736&postcount=29 , and yeah i have pointed to the right command line back then. If you follow my thread towards the end you will notice i have linked a post to the right command line -> "and ralfbergs for pointing out the need to use the command line http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=302".

2. Negativity never solves problems but the opposite it causes ill feelings, I am a human being and i make mistakes that's why the likes of you can post back and correct me, but there is a proper way of doing it without causing ill feelings and embarrassment to others, something like the inbox you could have messaged me to correct the command line without being insulting. I have nothing to gain from writing this thread except helping others in need.

3. You should never take my word or any other for that matter without double checking, that's why we have Google. And my only wrong doing in writing this thread is copying the wrong command line out of hurry which i have my self to blame but the likes of you makes it hard to do any good.

4. "I am gonna write a proper howto, not just a quick brainless cut & paste from here and there". Really..!, may i know what part is copy and pasts beside the command line?, By the way it's "How To" and not howto.......
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AD2076:
Looks I am not so good at reading signatures... not as good as you in writing guides you can't try for sure.

others... they probably enabled system rw in twrp

I did and found the proper command line, but in a "guide" I expect to find exact and doublechecked instructions

I tried to be positive pointing out the proper command line to save others from bootloop

I didn't mean to be insulting but I was angry after a lot of time spent for a typo

No one should write a "guide" in a hurry and without doublechecking and testing it, imho

BTW [MENTION=4093352]Rashad83[/MENTION] I am glad you edited the post, you saved some headaches to others and some time to me. Now your one is almost a proper guide and I can confirm it works. Just a few notes:

fastboot reboot is not necessary and can be problematic to start in recovery later

vol+ and power combo works in marshmallows too

to have the combo work please keep keys pressed until the huawei logo appears

twrp-2.8.7.1 doesn't work (I am on B317), new_twrp does

please reformat it better, it's ugly :angel:

Now, just to be positive, let me link this

guide

No need to downgrade to B170 or whatever... it works using B317 from huawei site.

Apologize for your ill feelings
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Clearly you are "not as good as me" in writing proper english either.

"I expect to find exact and doublechecked" english when commenting. You are so perfect.

Please don't consider replying, i have had enough of your condescending remarks.

Hey there, I'm having issues getting into TWRP after flashing it. No matter what I do my phone will not boot into recovery at all, it just boot loops for a little bit before rebooting normally. If it does boot into recovery its the standard one, not TWRP. Any ideas?

Edit: My phone is the GRA-UL00 variant, running build C470B181. Stock EMUI 3.1 Lollipop.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
This thread is for Marshmallow Twrp and root which is different from Lollipop especially the root method. For installing Twrp on Lollipop:

- Make sure you unlocked the bootloader.

- You have all the needed drivers installed in your pc. i have linked a very detailed guide for how to install Twrp and drivers needed please follow it, here is another one with root for our device http://www.droidviews.com/root-huawei-p8-and-install-twrp-recovery/.

*In step 5 in the link use twrp-2.8.7.1-p8.img instead of the old one,the command will be:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-p8.img.

*After that manually restart the device, by holding power until it restarts. Then When phone is OFF hold (volume up + power key) together until you see Huawei startup logo then release. You should be able to boot into twrp. To root continue with the link steps.

I already waited 14 days..and today i tried with facebook account for the unlock code....

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

I'm not able to flash anything on this phone...fastboot says it's unlocked but can't flash?

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
So did you manage to get the unlock code or not?, or is it telling you the huawei id is wrong, and your not able to get it.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AeonSL:
No it is telling me that the the huawei id has not been used for 14 days...???

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Try another huawei id using the Huawei id generator method. For me when i tried to unlock the code it gave me a message "wrong id" so i used this method.

Okay i finaly flashed twrp, but not with the help of huawei support.

Huawei support did nothing for me but caused me a headache!!

I was able to get the bootloader unlock key from DC-Unlocker.

Now i can't wait for Cyanogenmod to be ported because EMUI is just bull****t!!

hi,

thanks you Rashad83, with your tuto i have installed twrp , root my phone and no problemes all is fine, a second life for my phone thanks you for your help :good::)

Juste a strange thing, when i unlock my bootloader nothing was deleted, good thing but strange ^^

thanks again and sorry for my poor english ^^

PS: little question, not sure this the best post but i have installed the "@voison" twrp , can i do a nandroid backup to save my system or not?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Ty for your feedback :). Regarding "voison" twrp, i never heard of it so i am not sure. As long as it's twrp you should be able to make a backup. The only way to know is by trying it i think. Good luck any way.

I tried installing twrp by following this guide, but without success. Bootloader is unlocked, flashed the new twrp with fastboot and it says it's okay. Though, my P8 just doesnt boot into recovery!?

I'm on B321, updated from B200. Do I need to flash B313 or B317 for this to work?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
which version of twrp you flashed?, don't flash the official one by twrp website version 2.8.7.1 it seems not to work properly, use the other one by rodlane.

and after flashing it turn off the phone then press "volume up and power" to boot to recovery if that didn't work try by typing this in cmd while the phone is on:

-adb devices

you should see your device connected then type:

-adb reboot recovery

It should boot to recovery.

If this doesn't work try rom B317 depending on your region version. I heard some complaining that with the latest update version B321 twrp isn't working, but i can't confirm that.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
i exactly know whats your problem, i had it too, you downloaded twrp from twrp.me website right? its twrp for lolipop, for marshmallow you need to flash this one http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65499548&postcount=564
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] irotas:
The twrp version was correct, but it seems I forgot to reboot before trying to boot into recovery with adb.

After using adb reboot recovery successfully, I can also boot into recovery with Vol Up + Pwr, nice!

Then, I was also able to root my P8 by following your guide, perfect, thanks!

Hey, I installed TWRP and SU, but my root is not working properly according to Root Checker. Any tips?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Inside superSU settings go to Cleanup heading click reinstall and then install it from play store. If that doesn't work, select full unroot. Then flash superSU.zip again in twrp.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eichelkind:
And what if it doesn't change? I tried full unroot and play store reinstall

Hey, I tried Google Play and unroot, both didn't work :/
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Did you unroot, and then flash superSU. Zip in twrp?. Make sure to clear dalvik and cache too in twrp.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eichelkind:
Yes, I just unrooted, booted to TWRP, flashed 2.67 and then wiped cache dalvik again. No use though
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:

You need to execute the terminal command. Flash the original boot.img again, then follow the OP instruction completely and it will work.

There is no Bluetooth issues on Marshmallow with xposed for our device. No issues what so ever.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
they fixed it already?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Actually the reports where on other marshmallow devices. I have installed xposed after deodexing the rom, installed all modules I want. And everything is working great no issues what so ever. And by the way marshmallow is way better especially the battery life. I got 7 hours screen on time with medium to heavy use. I am in love with this device. I have nexus 6p and the battery life on p8 is longer than on 6p!.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Well then,im gonna try it, thanks for info
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
well, i tried to flash xposed zip file (arm64) for marshmallow, after flash i wiped cache/dalvik, and then i got bootloop... do you have any clue why? im missing something?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Yes most likely you weren't patient enough like me the first time ;) give it a 20-30 mintues until first boot. if the new xposed.zip isn't working for you try the old deodex method for sure that will work.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikibubu13:
I tried to root 3 times -not succsessfully. How mach time to wait to boot after root.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
You don't have to wait at all it should boot instantly max 1 minute. Are you sure you followed step 4 of the root process.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nikibubu13:
4. Inside Twrp go to advance-> Terminal. Click select and type the following code without the quotation "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu".

5. Go back to install menu, and flash the SU zip. After that restart the the device it should restart without a bootloop.

Yes . but i doubt whether it do it properly.

1.Version of Super su ?

2.In terminal Click select -???? where { I click on the dawn rigth sign}

3.After type the code do I Click select again or not?

Thanks in advance!!!
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
1. Beta v2. 67.zip

2. Yes the "select" button down to the right side. Type the code in the terminal, click enter.

3.no, after you type the code hit enter in the keyboard, then go back using the navigation bar to the install button in the main twrp page.

-Select the folder that contains the su.zip u downloaded. And install it. After that reboot.

Didn't even manage to boot it :') , do I need to flash the odexed rom?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
i got it working few days ago, all i had to do is edit that build.prop file as it was said in OP and wait few minutes to boot, however, the phone seems slower with xposed installed, animations are laggy sometime and sometime the whole system feels like it was in 10 fps video, i had to reboot it to get rid of that. Me personally do NOT recommend Xposed to any huawei device, at least until there wont be any must have modules, because most of them are not even compatible with emui and the few others that are (or partially) are not woth that problems.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Probably your experience, my device doesn't suffer from any lag or delay. Maybe because I don't use the default launcher. By the way if you go to the developer options in settings and change the scale from 1 min to 0.5 min in the window animation scale. It will speed up things and you wouldn't feel the lag.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Make sure you do step 4 of the root process or you will get a bootloop. Please look at the comments before yours.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
Im using Nova Launcher and xposed was installed correctly. Its known problem that xposed slowdowns android smartphones, some less, some more and im pretty sure so if it slowed my phone, it will slow every P8, there is no reason why it should happening just to me, we all have the same device. However, everyone can try it on their own smartphone.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NandorHUN:
Does this method actually worked for someone? All I read in this thread is reports that this doesn't really works.

Also, does anyone tried this: DC unlocker

This programme claims it works with Huawei P8 without asking Huawei for the bootloader unlock key. I dont know how to relock it though, but if it's that would be nice since there's a better chance that the warranty wouldn't be void.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Yes, the method is working. Otherwise I would have stated it doesn't, at the beginning of writing this thread I didn't test it because it wasn't possible at the time but afterwards I did test it. Some of the users complain because they didn't follow the instructions to the point at the beginning but afterwards they managed to make it work, also the earlier instructions weren't as detailed as is now and i wasn't careful. To lock the device after unlocking it is an easy step to do one command line to do it please Google it you don't need to use a software to do it or pay any money. It seems you are new to rooting please read on it before attempting it.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NandorHUN:
Thanks for the reply.

The main reason why I brought up that programme was because i don't want Huewai to spot that my device was unlocked once i need a repair.

I know it s possible to unlock without it, but i don't want to ask Huewai for the key because it would void warranty.

I just looking for a solution if that is possible.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
There is no way to hide the fact you unlocked. Because the notification for being locked will not go back to the way it was even if you relock back so if you take it to a service center they will know you did unlock even with the software you mention. Sometimes you can't obtain the unlock code even after you apply correctly on the Huawei unlock page like what happened to me and few others but there is a way for getting it even at that situation. Some of the users use the software you mention in that situation but only after they tried all other methods and they weren't successful. By the way if you feel there might be some hardware defects with your device and need the warranty then I suggest you don't root. Otherwise rooting is not dangerous. If the device is still new i suggest you play with it for a while until you feel you are willing to risk losing warranty.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NandorHUN:
Yeah, thanks I will do that.

Until than, maybe a solution suitable for me will come out like in the case of Honor 7, since the software's latest update what i mentioned can relock the H7 like it was never opened for root.

Maybe the p8 will get something like that in the near future.

Here's the tutoral for a method, but I dont know if it works with the P8. They claim "This service works on most of HiSilicon phone models", I dont know about it.

root not working

hey there, i'm on GRA-L09C432B321 and i did all the steps as described but apps don't get permissions. they ask for root rights but nothing happens.

i flashed twrp, used the systemless command and flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip. cleaned cache and dalvik. all several times.

also flashed boot.img and recovery again.

After install SuperSU in TWRP the system boots until animated logo and then restart and load the system.

But then SuperSU gets no permissions.

When i try in SuperSU to clean and reinstall i only come to playstore and then the system restarts. After that SuperSU is gone.

Before B321 i had B170 with working SuperSU. I installed B200 as full Package and B321 as Update.

Is there another SUPERSU for Marshmallow?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
I had the same issue. Just wait a bit. It will kick in after a bit. In my case it was around 20 minutes or so. I also repeated the process thinking I did something wrong. Just remember that if you reflash the boot.img, you need to redo the whole root process again.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zear4fear:
THX rodlane. Do you mean, wait to let the apps get the privileges? Will it last for every request so long?

I was wondering that the installed supersu has version 2.65. But I flashed 2.67.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
Only the first time.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zear4fear:
Didn't worked here. All root requests I tried aborted.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Try this after Flashing superSU, open superSU at the same time open one of the apps that require root permissions you should be able to see a grant permission popup notification. Try this with the other apps make sure both apps superSU and the app are open at the same time. I used to face this in my previous phone. Not sure why u are facing this issue with your phone though.Try a previous stock rom B320 if possible and see if you are facing the same issue.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zear4fear:
This also didn't worked.

Strange thing is that if I deinstall SuperSU I've got full root rights but with SuperSU the request don't come through.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zear4fear:
With a complete fresh system this method work fluently!
