Hi guys!!

does the tutorial on the 1st page work to unlock bootloader and instal TWRP on Huawei P9Lite?....TWRP Recovery on the zip file is supposed to work on Marshmallow, I upgraded to Nougat.

Thanks!!

On Nougat use TWRP 3.1.0-2 :

[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Robokashi:
Hello guys,

Some people here suggested DC Unlocker but didn't try it. I decided to go since I really wanted to flash a new ROM on my P9 Lite L31. And it works !! It is not very easy to understand how it works, but it took me about 30 min to get my code.

For those who would like to try, here is some useful info :

Read this first, it is a tutorial to use DC Unlocker (I am not allowed to post links so search for it on Google ) : huawei-android-hisilicon-unlock-guide

Try to see if your phone is detected before buying anything. But your phone in manufacturer mode (see the link above for that), in the DC unlocker client software change Huawei modem to Huawei Phone, below let Auto detect, and search for you phone. For me, it found my phone but didn't give a lot of details, juste the name of my phone and the version of the ROM (and a 3rd info but I don't remember). If it finds your phone, you aer good to go.

To get the code you have to pay 4€ (compatible with PayPal). Before paying the 4€ you have to chose in a list the kind of service you want to buy, it should be Huawei unlock code with 4 credits (or you can chose anything with 4 credits).

Once done, you will receive on the email entered in the form an email with your username and your password. BUT it doesn't work yet. You have to go and check for a DC Unlocker email that has been sent to the email of you PayPal account. (for me I had two different emails so it wasn't in the same inbox). Moreover the emails will likely be in your spams. Activate your account, then launch to the "dc unlocker client", connect yourself in the server tab. Then go to the first tab "Unlocking", and chose "Read bootloader code". It will give you your code !!!

Good luck guys,

Btw, I hate to pay for those kind of things but since I didn't have a choice and that it really works, I share.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] SpiLunGo:
Thanks [MENTION=9096590]Robokashi[/MENTION], has someone else tried and can confirm that DC unlocker is not a scam? Thanks!

Dear Sir,

I have tried to follow your instruction but I did not manage to get the screen from the Chinese site where I can in put details of my ohone Huawei P9 lite in order to get the code you have talked about. Can you, please, support me on that? I can give you the details of my phone because I want to root it in order to recover data lost. I am from Mozambique and I am not an expert with IT issues, I am just trying to find my way. I will be very thankful for your support

Hello friedns i want to flash twrp on my device p9lite android 7 what wersion twrp i need to use, and how to put that twrp file in srktool.??
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Dadditz:
TWRP 3.1.0-2 or newers.

Don't know about SRKTool, maybe it's for android 6.

Fastboot commands or k1ll3r8e's toolkit should do the work.

I suggest download ADB & Fastboot minimal you find here on XDA.

Put your recovery into the ADB Fastboot folder and flash your recovery.

You also need a unlocked bootloader in order to do this..

Good luck

Hey folks, i dind't go through the 73 pages so question short:

when i downgrade to 6.0.1 Marshmalllow (with official rollback .zip), is there a way to root then with e.g. KingRoot? Like i did with a Huawei P8 once.Had to downgrade from Mm to Lp (Android 5) and then it was possible to root.

Why?

Believe it or not: the method to get the code to UNLOCK the bootloader without 3rd party tools or websites works fine!

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I managed to unlock bootloader on my Huawei p9 lite 2017 PRA-LX1 for free with this tool. Helpfull topics: this one and that one. Fingers crossed;)
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] lenerdducdi:
Hi ! I just managed to unlock my p9 lite vns-l31 with potatoNV as mentioned by hardcorehenry in the post above. You'll need a small wire. Put one end on the tespoint (google it to know where it is) and the other end on the nearby metal plate.

You'll need the potatoNV software and the files instructions of this page.

The only problem I had is that on the first computer I used, I hang up during the process sayin "waiting for device". I used another computer, started from scratch and it worked.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] spykerwolf:

Hi. Thanks for this gesture to share. I am so confused as to why the "OEM unlocking" does not show in my P9 lite VNS-L21. I just dont understand. I have changed system date, removed my sim based on recommendations I found online. Do you by chance have any explaination for this? And can I go ahead with unlocking the bootloader/installing trwp?

Thanks
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] surdu_petru:
You need this prop on your device in order to be able to unlock OEM

ro.oem_unlock_supported=1
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] skyroz34:
Oh thanks. I am so sperchless right now. I've never heard or read anything about this prop... I really have a lot to learn. Im new to all this. I just wanted to change from 7.1 install to something higher because a very important app I work with was updated and I could no longer install it because it requires 7.1+. Pls could you simplify this "prop" thing a little. In addition I will reserch and see what I learn about it. But it will a huge favour to me if you could explain a little bit.

Thanks again.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] surdu_petru:
there is nothing to explain about this prop, you should take it as it is and put on your device !

Root your device, extract build.prop, edit build prop with this new line ( ro.oem_unlock_supported=1 ), put back in your device build.prop and restart the device ... right now ( after all these steps) you'll be able to unlock OEM into Developers Options :
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Tavest:
1.) Install the ADB drivers and you should have fastboot on your PC

2.) Connect your Phone to that Fastboot Mode

3.) Open the command line of this directory and enter "fastboot devices", check if your Phone is listed

4.) When it is listed enter "fastboot oem unlock [your code from the EMUI site from Huawei, where you have to login with your Facebook account)

5.) Enter "fastboot reboot", it should be unlocked now

[Sorry, can't Post links so I can't help you more ^^']

Edit: Could you reply with the text when it failed?
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Crudelixia:
I tried your steps and when I put "fastbook oem unlock CODE" and tap enter it says:

"FAILED: (remote: command not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.016s"

:(

Thank you for trying to help me..
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Tavest:
You enabled "OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging" in the developer options of your Phone?
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Crudelixia:
Yes
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Schlengge:
Could you try putting the CODE in "CODE"?

So making it:

fastboot oem unlock "CODE"

I did not use this method for my P9 Lite but I had devices before that required special way of writing the prompt.

Other than that it really sounds like you don't have the permission to unlock. But you said you have activated the option so I don't really see why this would be the case...
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Crudelixia:
That's exactly what I did.

fastboot oem unlock 8019920211216012
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Schlengge:
I meant putting a "..." around your code. (fastboot oem unlock "8019920211216012")

Just to be sure... The option for unlocking is enabled right? See attached picture.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Crudelixia:
OMG.. I didn't have that option enabled...

It worked now and my bootloader is unlocked!

Sorry for making you wasting time :( thank you so much for helping me tho!!! :o

Okay so I finally made to unlock the phone and to install the TWRP Custom Recovery. I copied the SuperSU zip file in my sdcard, restarted into Recovery mode and installed SuperSU from the sdcard. It made a little process and then it said it was done! So I restarted my phone in normal mode. BUT SuperSu is NOT installed and I dowloaded Root Checker app to check it and it says my phone is NOT rooted! :rolleyes: omg...
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Crudelixia:
I really can't get to flash the SuperSU zip file...

I mean, I do all the steps and it says it's done, but when I reboot my phone SuperSU is not installed and my phone is not rooted. I tried several times... And I don't know what to do.

Could I maybe try with a different version of the SuperSU zip file?
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] rann77:
Indeed,The SuperSU step is not necessary, this recovery includes the root function itself.

After flashed the recovery, just click the last menu under "recovery-> advanced" can root your device.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Crudelixia:
I tried it and my Huawei P9 Lite is now rooted! Yay [emoji1]

I updated the SuperSu manually after rooting.

So I am dealing with a very weird problem here.

I have unlocked the Boatloader and FRP installed TRW (it says so), but when I try to reboot my phone in recovery mode it will lead me to the Huwei Stock recovery. However, if I want to do a factory reset somehow this will trigger TRW to be started. That would be fine, but now if I try to flash SuperSU STABLE I will get a failure notice.

After 'creating ramdisk backup' I will get a 'failure, aborting' message and the root fails.

Anybody knows whats up? I followed all the steps, but for some reason it keeps failing for me.

Now u should have root ;)

Heyho,

seems u don't have TWRP installed. If u have an unlocked bootloader, just re-flash the TWRP from the OP.

[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeruno:
Pretty sure that this is Huawei's eRecovery mode (whatever that means!). This mode can allow you to perform recovery operations such as installing a ROM through an internet connection but can have some strange issues from experience.

If you are stuck in this mode in company with some bootloop or without access to the OS, it might mean that the installed ROM is corrupted and you will have to flash a new (stock?) ROM. Or you can load your recovery image backup (if you did not skip this step like all good boys :P).

I say this because I have experienced similar -- getting into eRecovey mode because of a failed flash. If you have trouble installing a ROM in this context, I can point you towards what helped me.

Could also be something else! :/

Well... All I know is that Viper NEEDS permissive SELinux. Otherwise it won't work. It seems like you did not grant root access to it. Have you checked in SuperSU app that it has permission?

But I am no SELinux expert I'm afraid ...
