[MENTION=4369435]pl4t!n[/MENTION] little update ;)
[P8lite General] riaanck:
Thanks for this tutorial, hopefully this will help many.
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
I hope so to. i got tired of typing out the same solution 30 times a day :D now i just have to share a link
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
Finally

I am very happy because it sets a new developer on the horizon who can explain absolutely correctly and peaceful. Keep the good work bro!

Now moderators should delete 90% of the subjects they are unnecessary, repetitive and full of crap! It is time for this forum to begin to moderate
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Thx i will do that.

yeah the moderators don't do a lot of work here. there are questions in the general. post's that are the the same... and crap like that. i will try to contact them.
[P8lite General] amageek:
lordy, many many thanks man... nice post... all in one... very much appreciated...
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:

[P8lite General] Holographik:
hi, i f***** my phone with king root. and now o cant uninstall it or unroot. can help me?
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
You can use supersu me app or delete the app with a root deleter than start with the bootloader unlocking. Yes, you probarly unlocked it with king root. No, it didn't work.

Good luck dennis, i hope u can fix it ;)
[P8lite General] wouterbeer:
Thumbs up!

Thanks a lot for this useful guide! Finally it's all there together in one place, with good explanations. Just used it to install TWRP and root my device, worked flawlessly!

Edit: now we just need to wait for a nice custom ROM with stock android experience, without the EMUI shell we're stuck with.. :)
[P8lite General] Holographik:
THANKS a lot dude, i removed kinguser.

now i want just to update to android 6.0

what i need to unlock/do.
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Just start reading the thread. And pick in where your phone will let you.
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Their working on it
[P8lite General] Holographik:
and what i need to unlock for android 6.0? im a little stupid with huawei :D

or just put in dload folder the update.app or what is and flash with both buttons and power button?
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Chapter 6 everything is explained there. Sorry for the short answers but not much time now
[P8lite General] EpicBas:
Would it be possible to add some original files or just the rom in case anyone would f*ck things up.
[P8lite General] Cymianel:
Very good summary!
[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
No. Way easier... If you Download it, it will be a Zip. Try to flash it like this. Like I said I'm not home so I can't send you the Zip I used. I'm not sure if it was this or a diffrent one. I will look in this Forum if I can find it and then I will Edit this...

Edit: Download this Zip and flash it with TWRP: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v55137/f1/full/update.zip
[P8lite General] contapapo:
Thanks but link is down.

another question, i used to flash roms in my Nexus 4. I imagine that it's the same thing using adb, something like "fastboot flash system update.zip", isn't it?
[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
You just use TWRP install Option to flash Roms.
[P8lite General] contapapo:
ok, but which file should i copy? the one with this inside:

- cust

- meta-inf

- patch

- system

update.app

thanks again
[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
Yeah try that, and if it won't work, you will need to completely unroot and flash the Original Recovery again.

Ohh wait, I think there is some force SD Update ot something like that of you dial a specific USSD code. That should be able to update the Update.App. You should look around here, I have no experince with that.
[P8lite General] contapapo:
Thanks, will try that

humm, just realized that my sd card has only 2gb. Can i copy files at internal memory?
[P8lite General] contapapo:
Ok, just did it.

First moved version B560 to Internal Memory, used EMUI to look for file and started update.

After that, looked up at EMUI again and received OTA for B564 (135 mb). After restart, received OTA for version B574(448 mb).

Thanks for your help.

There is any unbricked L23? I follow all the tutorial but only works with the unbricked single sim L21. When download any L23 available on Internet it results in balong.

I'll appreciate any help.
[P8lite General] excaleeboor:
Hello there, i've been around forums for a while now, lurking as a guest, and finally decided to register, and contribute as much as i can. Anyway, i own a P8 Lite ALE-L21, and i want to upgrade it to 6.0.

First version i had was c432b171, and shortly after i bought phone i got OTA to c432b199. I thought that OTA to 6.0 would appear after some time, but that never happened. So i decided to go along with this awesome noob-proof guide, but stumbled upon a problem. Downloaded .zip, put it into internal memory, phone recognized that there is update.app, but when i run it, it says: "Software Install Failed", and just makes me reboot system.

One question though, do i have to have unlocked bootloader in order to do a manual update?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Also thanks for developing stuff for P8 Lite! :) :good:
[P8lite General] amageek:
Power off the device and press volume +, volume - and power key for few seconds (10-15) then release the power button but keep pressing other two as you see huawei logo... You will enter white screen with Android bot there you can check the bootloader status...
[P8lite General] excaleeboor:
I know that, but my question was do i need unlocked bootloader in order to do local update to 6.0?
[P8lite General] amageek:
ohh sorry for posting that without seeing it below...

yes, if its via flashing and no, if you do it through OTA
[P8lite General] excaleeboor:
Okay, since i'm wishing to update throu local update and don't need unlocked bootloader, i recon there is some other issue. Any guesses?
[P8lite General] sugarpt:

Fantastic post ! Detailed, and hey, not boring at all :victory:

Very helpful, thanks. You the man :good::good:
[P8lite General] zeratos:
Hi, I want to root and update an ALE-L23 phone, I am reading the tutorial but I can't unlock the bootloader because the page is in chinese (even when I try to change the language and it's also down, can anyone help me?

I also have another question, when I finish updating it the phone will be recognized as an ALE-L21, right?

thanks in advance
[P8lite General] contapapo:
Hi, try this one.

Copy "dload" folder in your cellphone and look for it using EMUI.

It worked for me.

http://sh.st/ZoL7j
[P8lite General] excaleeboor:
Hi there.

Looking at the build number C432B560 i can see it is for Dual-SIM P8, but i have Single-SIM version, and i don't need to switch between.

Thanks anyway mate.
[P8lite General] :
At first thank You for great, noob-friendly guide. I appretiate that.

However I've ran into problems with rooting. I have flashed zip 1 and zip 2 and I have followed every step (rebooted when it was needed etc. I am talking from my memory) and when I wanted to do the step with moving SuperSU from data/app to system/app I just couldn't because data folder is shown as empty for me. I use advised file explorer, I have ALE-L21 with Android 6.0, b574. Looks like root is not here because no app which requires root works (Titanum Backup infinitely checks for root etc.).
[P8lite General] amageek:
Yes, some times the data folder is empty, don't know why though.. I got that too few times show rooting some marshmallow version... I would advice you to unroot and try it again..
[P8lite General] :
I've tried. From now installing 1.zip installs SuperSU and alter installing 2.zip SuperSU is gone. This was not a thing when I posted my post. I have no solution for that.

However I did a backup through TWRP immediately after I installed TWRP before any trials with rooting. Shall I restore this backup through TWRP and try? Or maybe full reflash?
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Just reflash zip 2 if you're on b564 if you're on b574 listen to [MENTION=7234478]amageek[/MENTION] he Found a beter supersu
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Spre flash is when it chunks the data into pieces the system img is to large to send as a whole that's why i use the script. It does it for me
[P8lite General] Lordbannakaffalatta:
Drop the root for update. Btw where from belguim?
[P8lite General] :
Forgot to update - I have succesfully rooted my device and installed Xposed - thanks to You! :)

I would like to ask - do You have plans for something more for P8 Lite? Some new guide about tricks, enhacements, tweaks?
[P8lite General] excaleeboor:
Update on my situation:

Since i couldn't use update.app provided by the guide, i searched a bit on the Internet, and came up with solution. I don't know if this is official site of Huawei, but it provided a C432B565 version, that worked for my phone. So, i updated from B199 to B565 using this site.

Basically, process is the same as mentioned in this guide. Grab the update.app, throw it in the root folder of internal memory or SD card, then go to Update, and do a local update. It all went without problems, and after Local Update to B565, i got OTA to B575 which was also installed without problems. If anyone had the same problem as i did, this is the link where you can go to: http://huafirmware.com/huawei-p8-lite

Also, i think you need to rename the .app file as it isn't update.app, but that won't affect anything. Just rename it to update.app and the phone should recognise it through Local Update.

Lastly, i have to share Marshmallow impressions. It is smoother, and i find it more beautiful than Lollipop, but i have to say it does affect performance a bit. I'm talking about games here, with 6.0 games are a bit laggy, where with 5.0 there were no lag at all.

Cheers to all, thanks for the help! :laugh::good:

That guide is awesome, i have to say!:good:
[P8lite General] Ngii_:
Quick fix to the baking bug. I don't know if it addresses the update part but... You need the phone to be rooted and have root explorer or build prop editor and head on to system/build.prop and edit wherever you see "Balong" or his friend "hi6210sft" to your build number and model number respectively.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
will it work?

will this rooting method work for ALE-L21C432B575, i have tried to root it already but it resulted in a bootloop(after the logo the screen just went black) when i flashed the supersu zip(v 2.76) in twrp, it turns out thats because that method was for chinese firmware, but i want to know how to root european huawei p8 lite ale-l21c432b575 marshmallow,

thanks in advance
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Yes. It worked on my B525 by the way which method you were using earlier?
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
well i just used adb to flash kirin version of twrp recovery and than just flash super su with twrp, and it results in a black screen bootloop, my bootloader is unlocked and i know that because i unlocked it to root on lollipop but i needed that virual gyroscope hack thats only available on 6.0 but it needs root. u said that it worked for b525 but idk if it works for b575
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Did you used the files given in this link or you used another method/files?
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
i am talking about the method that gave me the bootloop, here i donts se no bootloop problems but ppl are talking about how they cant find the supersu app after flashing the 2nd zip, so im a bit worried cuz i already unbricked this phone like 4 times and idk if its gonna have the same problem like those ppl. if you know a failproof method would you mind posting it please?
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Don't worry. After I rooted my phone using this method I also couldn't find Supersu so I downloaded it from play store. No issues uptill now.

Also the supersu didn't give any binary update error.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
good to know thanks man
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Just press thanks/ thumbs up button.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
it tells me my binary needs to be updated

from my experience with cm13 on s3 i probably shouldnt do this

can i just ignore it and still maintain normal root acces?
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
It should work. Press normal button it takes 5mins. You should probably update it otherwise all functions may not work properly.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
It all works now thx. But. Yes but.

Im experiencing a fairly noticeable battery drain.

Is this normal after rooting your phone?
[P8lite General] Lapada:
Hi. Im on a huawei p8 lite ale-l21 with emui 4.0 android 6.0 b589 with unlocked bootloader. I tried to flash the recovery with the bat file, after that it reboot me, i tried to boot into recovery, and it was stock. Then i tried to flash it manually and reboot straight to the recovery, and its still stock. I tried the same and i unplugged it, its still stock, I tried to rename the img file to recovery and tried all again, but its still stock... Halp
[P8lite General] amageek:
b589? is it out?? or you mean b581?
[P8lite General] Lapada:
Its B589. Build: ALE-L21C02B589. I bought the phone yesterday it was 5.0 in it, and i just updated it to 6.0. btw i just needed to press volume up and down and the power button and the same time and twrp came up, the root worked.
[P8lite General] amageek:
glad it worked... cheers
[P8lite General] spirto82:
So, I have some questions and I would be glad if anyone could answer them.

1) I had my phone rooted a couple of days ago, and I was wondering if I would get any OTA updates from now on. I am currently on B574.

2) If I install Xposed Framework, and try to flash a ROM (custom or update manually), will what will happen to Xposed framework and it's settings?

Although it is my second device that I have rooted, I haven't used Xposed, till now and I am not aware of what's going on

Thanks in advance
[P8lite General] Dark-Coder:
TWRP 3.0.2 Works for Both MarshMallow and Lollipop .. ???
[P8lite General] amageek:
About the first question, you will receive OTA updates but you'll need to unroot to apply it...
[P8lite General] spirto82:
Thanks. I'll keep it rooted then and just flash any new update. I guess it should work exactly as it is described on other threads.
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Install Naptime from play store and enable aggressive doze. Also in battery manager (in advance settings) select smart power plan(however convert it to performance while playing games).

You can also adjust doze allowed apps in application settings ---> advance ---> ignore battery optimization.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
i always choose smart, ill check that app out

btw do you know any other method of virtualizing the gyroscope other then this one here http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1156322 (translate the page)

i have tried this one and it worked but i could not move my phone fast or else the 360 video goes to the random view
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
how does the icon for Naptime look?

is it the app with zZ on it and it says [root] Naptime?
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Yes. You are correct. Naptime icon is green with zZ on it.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Use this method. It is working. However there is jitter in gyroscope. You can watch 360 video/ pictures but capturing 360 pictures is extremely difficult.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
Just one more question.

When my lockscreen is set to none when I swipe to unlock it if there is a google play store notification for example the corner of that notification will become white and if I dont unlock it the corner of the notification will either stay white for as much of a corner was not visible or it would return to normal like nothing even happened. Do you have this bug too?

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

Idk how to really describe it
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
I think it's play store icon (as you know it's white) which is displaying in left corner (in status bar). It's not a bug.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
Nono I mean when the screen zooms in with the notifications in the unlock animation the part of the notification disappears and when I pull back the part that disappeared is white instead of notification color.
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Check the screenshot. Can you upload screenshot of white corner(whatever you call it)?
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Let me check.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

I don't have this bug maybe because I am running deodex version of EMUI rom. If you want to install it I can give you the link. This rom can support Xposed framework. Otherwise if you install Xposed framework on official rom you won't be able to make calls.

.

.

.

Also try to change theme. It might be a theme issue.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
Sure. Ill check it out tomorrow maybe. Buti have also a bug where I cant download themes. Can you do it on that rom?
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Link for theme

[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
Ok no I donk have that bug. I just had to restart my phone. Maybe the other one is gone too. But feel free to post a link for that rom. And also. Does that rom have a gyroscope? I dont use xposed btw. I used it on my s3 to change device status but thats about it. Not a big fan

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

The themes bug is fixed sry for bothering
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Yes. It has a built in virtual gyroscope.

Link for rom

http://huaweip8lite.blogspot.com/2016/07/custom-romtwrpemui-40p8-lite-ale.html?m=1

After flashing this rom takes 15-20 mins on first boot be patient. After that it boots normally.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
Ok. I also managed to set up a virtual gyro on mine but its really bad. In pokemon go I think its good but youtube and stuff it just cant keep up if im turning my phone fast so it just glitches out. Do you have these problems. I heard that huawei disabled their own virtual gyro in some update and that screwed everyones experience

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

did you download it pre rooted and do themes come with it?

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

ok so i found out that it does have themes and everyhing i need, but i just want your honest reviow on the gyroscope on that rom, is it the one huawei removed, is it usable?
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
I have the same problem with gyroscope and probably Huawei turned it off due to such issues and I don't think there is a way to solve this issue.

Themes can be downloaded. There is a folder in either sdcard or internal storage "HWThemes". Put theme file in that folder. I think Magazine unlock is pre rooted theme. You can download more themes either from theme store or xda or any other website.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
Ok. Does it have a themes app?thats all I need and the gyroscope on it. Is it the same one that huawei removed? Or the other one
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
It is basically the same rom (EMUI) but it is a bit modified. Some new features are added like pro mode in camera. All the features are same.
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
Ok man thanks for everything and sorry for bothering you.
[P8lite General] spirto82:
Can somebody confirm whether the xposed works properly or not? Is the procedure affected by the buid number of the OS? I am on B574.

Thanks in advance!

[MENTION=7262123]Lordbannakaffalatta[/MENTION] Congratulations! Very good job!!!

Edit: I have ALE L21 model number
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
No. On official build it's not you will not able to make calls or send text messages. The only way to solve this problem is to flash sokoban's rom in your phone.

http://huaweip8lite.blogspot.com/2016/07/custom-romtwrpemui-40p8-lite-ale.html?m=1
[P8lite General] amageek:
So on sokkoban's rom xposed works good, without any issues? I am already on sokkoban's b574 deodexed rom and want to install xposed...
[P8lite General] IvanBrony:
can i install this rom if i have stock b575 and not b574?

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

for some reason when i installed this rom, all icons are not squary like default icons instead they are like they should look on other phones, i remember having this on stock, factory reset fixed it?

ill try it out and report any issues
[P8lite General] spirto82:
Thanks. So if I install this custom ROM, can I be ensured that sokoban, will get all the official updates and modify them as updates for his ROM?

I mean that, although that my phone is rooted, I can flash any official update (I guess with no problem). On the other hand, will I get any updates, or I'll have to switch back and forth between the ROMS.

Thanks in advance.
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
Well I don't know maybe. Since I am not sokoban. By the way I don't think Huawei will release any more updates for this phone.

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

I installed it even though I was on B525 there should be no problem. For icons download stock Android theme available on xda.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Yes. It has no issues.
