It doesn't work if you have not activated developer options in settings of the device and in there USB Debugging (in some devices also OEM and FRP Unlock)

If you don't get connection with USB to PC - you can just make a folder on external SD called dload

Copy the unzipped files from Full Firmware (contains update.app and sometimes META-INF) in this folder (dload). No other files in dload, only this!

Only problem is - for doing the next steps you must have Stock Recovery installed.

If you cannot connect to PC and have TWRP you can flash before the stock boot.img and the Recovery.img (not Recovery2.img)

Extracted with Huawei Update Extractor from update.app - copy also BOOT.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG to your external SD (before doing into the device, but not into dload folder)

Now do the external SD in your device and reboot phone with Vol+ and Power Button, release Power Button if Huawei Logo is showing, but keep holding Vol+ until TWRP starts.

With TWRP go to Install. Right down choose "install img", navigate to the stored BOOT.IMG .

TWRP ask you on which place. Flash to boot!

After go back to the main menu and use Install again, choose "install img", navigate to the RECOVERY.IMG. TWRP ask you to which place, now use: Recovery.

Be careful - don't flash boot to recovery or recovery to boot.

After go to Reboot, but not into system - use instead reboot recovery.

You arrive then Stock Recovery.

Wipe cache. Make factory reset. Try after, if phone can boot to the system.

If the device cannot start you must make software upgrade.

Battery must have 80% min. Reboot phone with Vol+ and Vol- (pressing in the middle) and same time Power Button.

Phone restart. Keep holding until EMUI Software Installing begins.

Thanks for the advise. Before my phone was stuck in Rescue mode as in your screenshot, my huawei p8 lite had developer mode and USB debugging was enabled. Unfortunately now I can't get into fastboot.

I really appreciate the help
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Yes, this occurs also sometimes - but with my steps you don't need fastboot mode and you should be able to restore your phone. Let me know if you have successfully done those steps ;)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicoronaldoretief:
I am going to attempt this within the next 30min. If I can't get the phone to work with fastboot, how will I be able to get into TWRP. It was on my phone.

Thanking you in advance

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

I have tried but if I take my power cable out of the device it just has a red flashing light. Then power cable back and it boots to Rescue mode and the light goes green.

Thanking you in advance
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
I never have spoken about your Power cable.

Your phone must have 80% Battery and you can let it on Power cable. I have spoken about USB Connection cable between PC and Phone.

Disconnect USB, but you can use Battery Power cable.

If you have already TWRP on it you can reboot phone with holding Vol+ all the time and also Power Button! Hold this until TWRP boots up (some minutes)

Then flash boot.img and recovery.img as I have written!

Before:

Use another external SD Card or the one from phone - to place extracted boot.img and recovery.img and create the dload folder with the update.app in it.

Read the steps I have written. Do it, as I said. I cannot do anything if you don't understand.

I didn't know whether you have TWRP or not. But if it is installed, its good for flashing boot.img and Stock Recovery.img. After boot to Stock Recovery as I said and...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicoronaldoretief:
I completely understand. Thanks for the advice.

The rescue mode is putting the phone into a loop and draining the battery. So as soon as I take the USB/cable which converts into power cable with adapter, the phone dies. And only shows a red lightning bolt in the middle of the screen. I am not able to get into TWRP. Is there another way or is the phone ready to be be collected by the Grimm reaper. I appreciate all the help and support.

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Disconnect USB from PC and just let the phone 3 hours on the Power Adapter. Anyway what the phone does or not does.

After this time boot to TWRP without USB but with the Button Combination I told you two times. Read the steps I have written and do then exactly what I said.

There is no other way to enter TWRP in this case than with Button Combination.

Vol up and Power holding reboots phone to Recovery (only if device is disconnected from USB to PC. (but it can connected with Power)

Vol down and Power reboots Phone to fastboot mode, if device is connected with USB to PC.

Vol up and Vol down and Power Button at the same time (disconnected from USB to PC - but it can connected with Power) starts the Firmware Update if it is present in the folder: dload (unzipped)

But for recover your phone original boot.img and recovery.img (extracted from Firmware update.app) must be flashed.

Flashing this is possible with TWRP (as I have written) in case fastboot mode cannot be used with ADB.

So, now disconnect phone from PC and let the battery grow up the next hours

Hello,

I have rooted my Huawei P8 with MagiskSU and I see that my phone (which is in 390) that the 393-FULL is available.

What do I have to do if I want to update my phone ? Should I restore the stock recovery and unroot my phone ? Or the unroot is not necessary and the restore of the recovery is enough ?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Unzipp the Firmware zip and copy the files to dload

You must unroot in case of magisk - flash magisk-uninstall.zip with TWRP.

After flash with ADB in fastboot mode original Stock Recovery from b390.

Reboot to Stock Recovery. Wipe Cache with this!

After start Firmware EMUI Installing with 3 Button Method (update.app and sometimes also META-INF in dload folder)

After i installed TWRP.img and hold volume up + power it just stuck on huawei logo. Any solutions ?​
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
USB must disconnect from Phone.

You must press and hold Vol+ and Power Button until Phone Reboot and Huawei Logo is shown - release Power Button in that moment but Vol+ you must hold until TWRP is seeing (can need some minutes)

It's necessary to boot into TWRP after flashing it.

If you restarted after to system - you must flash TWRP again, cause it will be overwritten.

It should work.

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ammar_:
Hey tecalote, I've tried method A of rooting and it doesn't work for me on GRA-UL00C185B389. Installation in TWRP reaches "patching daemon launcher" and then it says "failed... Aborting". I used this same method to root the same device when it was on B371, but now it doesn't work. Any ideas?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Soon I have time I will update the kernel!
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ammar_:
I just tried flashing SuperSU zip only from method b, and it actually did systemless root on my device without the need to install the kernel. I guess the newest C185B389 only supports SuperSU 2.79.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
That's good to know. Soon I have time, I make all tests again with SuperSU 2.79.

This time I released several Custom Roms for P8 and P9...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Anyone with latest FW B395 did the rooting with method A (TWRP 3.0.2 +SuperSU 2.67) ?

I'd try several times but no luck. Till know I always made root that way and never had a problem :/

Edit: After read feedback from [MENTION=7898605]Ammar_[/MENTION] will try with latest stable SuperSU 2.79 and report result.

Edit2: Nope, again no root :/

I have too message at the end of flashing log: "patching daemon launcher - failed... Aborting".
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] erayrafet:
I'm using Magisk with the latest B395.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
I'd used too when played Pokemon but didn't like it. I've tried Magisk Manager (like was mentioned in 4pda) but even didn't start. Will try soon with TWRP package.

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Something is wrong... Step by step:

1.Restore&flash original boot.img from b395

2.Reboot in TWRP 3.0.2

3.Flash SuperSU 2.79 in Systemless mode

4.Flash Magisc 12.0

5.Reboot

No root access, Magisc manager hags all the time, reports new version after 10-15 min and ... that's all

Where I could make mistake ?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
The mistake is: If you are use Magisk - don't use SuperSU!

Magisk has his own Superuser Management and Rooting.

Just flash Magisk!

After you must open Magisk Manager and install from Playstore.

There's the Superuser inside!
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Hm don't agree. Used Magisc some time ago (when it was at beta or first release) and there was additional modified apps like ChainFire SuperSU and Phh's root.

Anyway I just fallow the guidance from author exactly:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

I saw in log when flashin' Magisc it detects SuperSU modified boot partition.

Will try w/o SuperSU.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
I make the tests with all kinds of Rooting for the new Firmwares soon I have time.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
I already do that, will give feedback.

BTW: Magisc 12.0 on clean ROM (stock boot.img) gone just fine. Have got root.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
That's good news :) And you did it just flashing Magisk zip and after installing the Magisk Manager as I mentioned, right?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Yes, just flash Magisk.zip

Thanks a lot, but I try A) Rooting in systemless Mode (by maintaining the original Stock-Kernel) with some problem.

This is my first root on my P8 and I have GRA-L09C432B397, please help me.

I use SuperSU 2.67 and TWRP released by KangV from the Huawei Rom Team (HRT) v. 3.0.2 - multilingual.

I do

I do

step 8, my P8 didn't restart 2 times and rebooted finaly to system.

After 1 reboot, I don't find SuperSU on my home or another place.

I don't do this step

Thank to you too.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Note: This Rooting Methods are too old now and not recommended for newer Firmwares!

Soon I have time I will update this Thread with new methods.

Hopefully you have a TWRP Backup of boot, data, system. If yes, I would restore.

If you don't made, do it right now - without Root.

Backup with TWRP : boot, data, system - if something goes wrong - you can restore!

I haven't tested yet - but you can try (after TWRP Backup) to Root with official SuperSU 2.82 SR1

https://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip

Flash this with the systemless command (see OP)

Restart system after flashing this SuperSU (without wipe Dalvik) - if it works with your boot.img (from your Firmware) Phone boots up two times (that's normally)

Then you should have Root.

But perhaps not - I haven't tested yet.

In the worst case Phone don't boot and you get a rescue screen.

With Vol+ and Power Button you can always boot into TWRP and restore your TWRP Backup.

Nothing could happen.

Tell me the result.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drbros:
:)

Thanks Tecalote for the fast response. Yes, I have the backup, I try and update you.

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

I do, and now, all work fine, thank you!!!

I do this:

Boot to TWRP

Install new SuperSu and reboot

Phone rebooted for 2 times

at the finish I find SuperSU and now I'm root

Now I need to update SuperSU and TWRP (from 3.0.2 to 3.1.1-0-grace) ?

Do I need to do flash Busybox?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Good News :)

You don't need update SuperSU, because 2.82 SR1 is the latest

You can update TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img.html

Yes, you should flash Busybox:

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Thank you. It's little strange for me, because I've tried many times to reroot after ROM update since B395 but can't root (systemless). So I've used Magisk but apps like FolderMount won't work that way....

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Yes, Root with SuperSU seems to work this time properly only on untouched Firmware.

Means if you have Magisk you must clean your system from Magisk (flashing Magisk Uninstaller)

The Best is if you have a TWRP Backup from unmodified Stock boot, data, system - and you would restore after cleaning from Magisk and before rooting with SuperSU.

But if you decide to use Magisk, use v13
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
To update to latest ROM, the boot and recover must be reverted to untouched and unrooted.

Updated to B395 stock ROM so I'm untouched again.

Even that tried many time with SuperSU from 2.67 to 2.81 (latest) but no luck.

Only with Magisk have success. Next ROM update will try again with SuperSU.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Hi - I wrote in OP - dont use this Root Method for newer Firmwares, I'll update, soon I have time.

It was a fault to try with 2.67.

Its necessary to try it with SuperSU 2.82 SR1 - which is the latest, I have linked some posts before and not with any other versions.

Okay, do it with next update.

Until this time my OP is updated
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
To clarify - does that means that I'd fail due to use in first previous version rather than 2.82 SR1 ?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
Yes, that's right!
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
So here is new upgrade ROM B397

Removed Magisk, restored boot and recovery, upgraded successfully.

Flashed TWRP 3.0.2, rooted with SuperSU 2.82 SYSTEMLESS (!!!) successfully.

But now (as previous case) can't install SuperSU Chainfires from Google Play :/

Always ends with 505 error. Already cleared cache and data of Google Play as first stage of that problem.

Can't manage now root access of apps ....

Any advices ?

Did you really flash SR1?

https://download.chainfire.eu/1114/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip

If yes, normally should be the SuperSU App on Homescreen - if it isn't:

Unzipp SuperSU2.82SR1.zip - take the SuperSU.apk from folder "common" and install it

And can't still install SuperSU manager from common. Just "Can't install error".
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
It is absolutely necessary to Root with SuperSU 2.82 SR1 - because this is the first Version of SuperSU with fixing Rooting issues (like yours) for HUAWEI PHONES.

Unroot your phone by flashing unsu.zip:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63615067

After restore your boot.img (from TWRP Backup - if you made one before Rooting from current firmware)

After flash SuperSU SR1 - and you should not have any problem!!

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
If Root is unsuccessful you must flash unsu.zip from xda https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63615067

and restore after unmodified original boot.img and restart phone without Root.

And you must update TWRP to newest version:

https://dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img.html

After you can root again. Don't wipe Dalvik/Cache.

Phone must loop two times. After second loop phone boot to system. You should be rooted.

May you have another Root before? Phone must always unrooted before doing new Root.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stormbay01:
