I reboot to Fastboot Mode via Minimal ADB and Fastboot( I started it as admistrator), also i have HiSuite 5.02.301_OVE. But when the phone reboot to Fastboot Mode it's no longer recognise by the computer.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Did you see any devices in normal mode and you write in Minimal ADB directory "adb devices" ?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] havv:
Yes, I edited my first post with screenshot.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Do you use Windows 10, there's sometimes a driver problem (Windows 10 uses wrong driver for fastboot) I have written about in this Thread (search Thread only) and I wrote it also in OP (#1)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] havv:
Thanks, i think i found it in thread, i don't see it in OP

I don't have any unknown devices:

https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZmSIcZYxtAW3eykdLMJpGLgr4L1pauSW70

When i reboot to bootloader the active driver is Android Sooner Single ADB Interface(after i flashed the usb driver from here:https://www.kingoapp.com/bootloader-unlock/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-huawei-p8.htm), now the computer recognizes the smartphone, but still list of attached devices is empty.

https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZbuIcZkxDQDPtKIdkyqt1OA1NFrX2z0lWy

EDIT

Now i see you talked about this:

https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...by-tecalote.794406-page-11.html#post-10108303

i do all steps to 3), but when i connect the phone to pc, Linux File CD Gadget USB Device appears again.

Also in device manager -> android phone only Huawei HDB interface appears.

and that's when i reboot to bootloader:

https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZ3wIcZwnxHunHTpNku4h5eoxHjLXx0UQ2y

Still no listed device and not the proper driver.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You can try disable HDB Interface in settings of your Phone. Make also sure HiSuite is closed (also in the Background - behind Taskbar in Windows ) when you connect Phone with ADB. Sometimes also a restart of PC with USB connected Phone helps (restart PC and Phone at the same time while they are connected) is helpful to get rid of driver issues.

And USB Debugging must be enabled in Developer Options and unknown sources in advanced settings. If you connect phone first time to PC you receive a RSA request on display of the phone - this must be allowed and checked as always

Hi there!

I'm running GRA-L09C432B391, basically this right here https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p8/how-to/firmware-huawei-p8-b391-gra-l09c432-gra-t3534020.

I was trying to get rooted using the new magisk v13.3 but that was only throwing me into bootloop(the fastboot screen with error 10 and 2, just as in OP screenshot). So I tried it with magisk v12 and that flashed fine, the only problem was magiskSU wasn't getting installed. Could you help me with any of this? Or is it better/easier to use the method in OP, and does that still work?

Appreciate the help and effort!
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Why you don't update your Firmware to b398, then you can Root with Magisk 13.3 as well as with SuperSU 2.82 SR1 (SR2 is also out, but I would not recommend at the moment)

The methods in OP must be updated - I had no time to do that, cause of my work on Custom Roms.

Soon I get time I will test all Firmwares between b370 and b398 and update the Thread.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shrgerrits:
It's because I need the security patch on the phone to be older then the march 2017 one, else I can't spoof gps locations correctly. I basically only need root so I can install my gps spoof app as a system app.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Okay I understand. Which Root would you prefer, Magisk or SuperSU?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shrgerrits:
Anything that works really. I heard that Magisk is noob-friendly (and I am pretty much a noob) but if SuperSU is easier to install than Magisk then I would go for SuperSU. It just depends, what do you think is easier to get working?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You must use latest TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img.html

Its new, don't use the one from OP

2) Backup with TWRP boot, data, system, vendor

3) Try again Magisk 13.3

4) If it doesn't work, restore the backup

5) then try SuperSU 2.82 SR1 https://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shrgerrits:
Should I do this with or without the echo SYSTEMLESS command? Because both are causing bootload error 10(bootloop?) right now
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Did you use now newest TWRP -

Magisk need no systemless command and also not SuperSU 2.82 SR1 - the problem is the boot.img.

This Firmware may not be able to do Root with usual way.

In this case you can try method 1 from OP.

But before you must restore data, system, boot and vendor and you must boot to system before trying another method
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shrgerrits:
Yeah I'm using the newest TWRP.

I'll try it again after restoring the backup. Is it important that vendor gets restored? Because my backup only had data, system and boot backed up.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
If everything is properly restored, no problem.

But for the future you should also backup (if shown as possible Partition in backup Tab)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shrgerrits:
It won't work :( Still getting bootloop
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Okay, so official methods (Magisk 13.3, 12, and SuperSU 2.82 SR1) don't work.. with b391

Old SuperSU (method 1 from OP) don't work too

Method 2 and 3 have an old boot.img.

I just can upload a new boot.img which you can use for SuperSU and another new boot.img which you can use for Magisk.

But you must test and I don't know if your app will work then..

But we can try.

What do you think?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shrgerrits:
Sounds good man, willing to try anything
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Okay, wait, I do it during next 15 min
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
[MENTION=8466269]shrgerrits[/MENTION] Here you go:

1) P8-forRootMagisk-boot.img - rename this file to = boot.img - then install it with TWRP (select img) and install it to: boot !

[url]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545588169[/URL]

2) P8-forRootSuperSU-boot.img - same, rename it to boot.img - after instal it with TWRP (by select img right down) and flash it to: BOOT !

[url]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298978068[/URL]

Once you have installed (only one) of those boot.img - restart your phone and look, if everything seems to work well. Look, if you can open settings and developer options. If yes, restart device to TWRP - and if you have installed the Magisk boot.img - then flash Magisk 13.3, after flashing restart device (without wipe of dalvik) and you should have Magisk Manager on Homescreen.

Dont open it right now - first go to settings and look if in developer options USB Debugging is stayed enabled - if not, enable it (in this case restart phone - but if it is enabled, you must not restart and can open Magisk Manager) In Magisk USB Debugging must be always enabled!

If you have instead installed SuperSU boot.img - do same, flash it with TWRP, restart phone (without wipe dalvik) and look, if everything works. If yes, restart to TWRP and flash SuperSU 2.82 SR1 (but dont use SR2 at the moment1)

For flashing this version of SuperSU 2.82 SR1 you must not use terminal systemless command - SuperSU root automatically systemless. Phone boots up (2 times, one short loop after to system)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Use this TWRP - linked in this Post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73367216&postcount=281

Use also the SuperSU from this Post - but before you doing the Root with SuperSU:

install boot.img from this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73369419&postcount=289
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shrgerrits:
I tried this but I got the same boot error again.

What I did after was just install the new b398 and then flashed magisk v13.3 and it worked :). So my phone is finally rooted :)

The only thing I'm having issues with right now is trying to disable the fusedlocations with Service Disabler. When I disable the fusedlocations and restart my phone it won't get past the Huawei logo. Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi, I try to unroot my phone to do an update.

I used the guide above, but, on STEP 4 "If SuperSU ask you to restore your original Boot Image - say yes!", i say NO :(

Now my phone work perfectly without root, but, to flash a recovery image, I need to flash boot.img too or not?

Ty

DrBros
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You can flash TWRP as Recovery: https://dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img.html

This is newest TWRP.

Or you can flash instead Stock Recovery.

You can also flash original boot.img. You can extract Stock Recovery and boot.img from update.app with Huawei Extractor (search on xda)

Boot.img must be flashed to boot - recovery.img must be flashed to recovery.

But you don't need one to flash the other - but I would flash both (cause you didn't restore boot.img)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drbros:
Thank you Tecalote, I already have TWRP now, but, if I understend well, to update from Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B397 to Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B398, I need:

remove busybox ==> I do;

remove root ==> I do (without restore boot.img);

back to recovery stok, no TMRP;

Now, I need to flash Boot.img must be flashed to boot - recovery.img must be flashed to recovery, right? And after update with B397 to Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B398.

Because with TWRP is impossible to update to a new firmware like B397 to Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B398, it's right?

Hi there, I have Huawei P8 GRA-L08 (B397) and I would like to root my phone in order to install LineageOS (nougat version).

Every time that I I install SuperSU through TWRP recovery, I get infinite bootloop.

Could I have some help?

I have installed latest TWRP 3.1.0 (grace), afterwards boot. img for supersu and then SuperSu 2.82.

After rebooting succesfully this time, I found SuperSu in my apps, but without my phone been rooted.

SuperSu wasn't showing any apps and installed a root checker that confirmed that it wasn't rooted.

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
I can't test, because I have L09 and other cust and higher Firmware, you can try this:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73369470&postcount=290

But make a Nandroid Backup before testing with TWRP (backup boot, system and data) if it does not work, restore your backup.

After Backup flash boot.img (with TWRP by choosing img to: boot) after restart Phone and look, if boot.img is compatible.

If yes, flash SuperSU from the Link and don't worry if it boots two times. (one short loop, after booting to system)

You don't need any command in Terminal

Hi,

I recently updated my P8 to B398 build(Android 6.0 EMUI 4.0.3), this was an OTA update.

In the previous release I was root on my phone, but now I lost my privileges.

Thanks for all suggestions.

Hi, I rooted my P8 in the Systemless way. Now I want to root in system mode. how do I go about doing that? (UL10, B391)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
If you are using SuperSU SR5 - b391 cannot be rooted in System Mode
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] farhanzahinfj:
I recently updated to b391 via updater. So i lost my root and TWRP. I forgot how i rooted my phone before, probably in system mode as I had those files in my card from before. But now as I flashed TWRP and rooted this again via systemless mode (from first post) and want to go back to 'in system mode'. Is that even possible?

If so, then how?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You should not root b391 with SuperSU from Post #1, its completely outdated - I wrote in red color similar: "don't use this Root Method anymore"

I had not time to update the Thread cause of developing Roms for P8, P9 and Job and family, but I will do, as soon as possible.

Use at the moment only last SuperSU which is available:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Download Link is there in Post #1

And it will Root always in systemless Mode, cause in System mode you'll get Bootloop!
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] farhanzahinfj:
Understood. Thank you very much. Just one more question. Can I install xposed on my b391? and if so which one? Sorry for bothering with noob questions. I've been out of the (rooting) game for a while now.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Yes, you can - but only if rooted with last SuperSU 2.82 SR5 from the Link I give you already.

Then you can follow this Thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58828974&postcount=1

And you must use SDK 23 x64 zip (use latest version, but not Beta version) - flashing with TWRP and then wipe Dalvik and Cache.

(Reboot about 15 min!! is normal on P8)

After flashing Xposed Framework you must install Xposed Installer apk - with this you can download modules...

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Since I don't own this device I can't give you detailed information.

But normally it should be enough if you have TWRP, just flash SuperSU and reboot.

First boot will be aborted, second boot arrives the system.

If you can't see SuperSU apk on Homescreen (it's normally on a new blank page) you can do following:

Unzipp SuperSU zip on PC. In the folder "common" is the Superuser apk.

Copy this to the external SD and install it.

Then you can see, if Root is already given.

But do with TWRP a backup (from all shown Partitions) before flashing SuperSU.

In the worst case you just restore everything and get a working system back.

I am not responsible for any brick, since I have not your device model and Root is always dependent on the device /firmware.

Maybe you should also ask in Thread from the Link I gave you.

However tell me, if it's working.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkkid85:

Hello,

I'm a bit mammoth in the world of rooting. Last time, I have solved similar things with Samsung Galaxy SIII.

Yesterday, I have successfully unlocked the bootloader by the first post, but now I do not know how to get the phone to root.

Could you please advise me or have I overlooked the procedure described somewhere?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You must use Minimal ADB and Fastboot on PC in Administrator Mode (right klick run as Administrator)

TWRP (which is linked in OP) must be in the main directory of the Programm folder from Minimal ADB and Fastboot.

You flash TWRP with:

adb devices (enter, accept RSA-Request on display of the phone with "always from this PC, ok"

adb reboot bootloader (enter)

fastboot devices (phone must be listed with SN)

fastboot flash recovery Name-of-TWRP.img

Disconnect after successfully flashing Phone from USB

Now press Vol+ and Power Button and hold this position until phone reboot to TWRP.

Setup TWRP, allow system modifications

Use Backup and make a Backup of all shown Partitions (in the worst case you can restore)

Flash SuperSU and wait until it is booted to the system.

You will find on a blank site of the Homescreen the SuperSu for managing Root...

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
After fastboot flash recovery you must write the exact name of the TWRP img, that's why I wrote "Name of the TWRP img"

The command would then for example:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img

You can also rename the TWRP to twrp.img

Then it would be:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bary-Jan:
I downloaded the TWRP by clicking on the link in the first post.

And yes, I have P8 GRA-L09C150B390
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Alright :)

I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else.

But you understood the right command now?

I have corrected my post for you, thanks
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bary-Jan:
Oh, I can see where the wrong mistake happened...

4) Soon as TWRP is flashed, disconnect USB Cable from Device and boot to TWRP with VOL+ and Powerbutton (dont restart to system cause twrp will be overwritten then)

I kept a little, and the phone rebooted.

So repeat the whole procedure? Or how to solve it?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Yes, repeat flashing of TWRP and then disconnect USB and boot immediately to TWRP, allow system modification and set up your TWRP in settings.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bary-Jan:
And again installing SU from TWRP?

I'm asking because I immediately launched TWRP after disconnecting USB, but did not ask for any modification permissions and was set as I did before repeating the flash.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
If SuperSU is on Homescreen on a blank page and you open it and can enter the settings of SuperSU - don't flash SuperSU again.

But boot again to TWRP and open "Mount" - if there's checked "keep system partition read only" uncheck it.

If it's unchecked, everything okay
