So any way to mount /system/apps as writable? Either through twrp or root apps?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
Not yet, but full working twrp should comming in the next 1-2 weeks.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
"busybox mount -o rw,remount /system" works fine here - what are you getting?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clouds5:
thx for the help :) It was actually working the issue was that my /system partition was full (never had that before?)! So I had to delete another app first and now it's working just fine...
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Lol this one is working with mount. U can resize the system back to its original state since upgrade to N shrinks the size.

Not yet "data encryption" is pretty much the only thing not working and battery percentage

I have a working 3.0.2 with percentage working but it's broken elsewhere for some reason need to setup repo all over again
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
So, is this because system apps aren't writable or does it depend on superuser? I tried even with setenforce 0 but nothing happened..
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I believe if you use chainfire su it won't have issues
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
But AFAIK supersu was removed due to some problems.. Right?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well there's a working version for honor 8 did u try the patch boot?

It's in op check it out
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clouds5:
And how would I do that? In twrp? Can I do that without losing any data?

Cheers
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
I am using phh root, I read some pages back that supersu was removed due to problems.. If you tell me it's safe I can try, don't want to risk breaking stuff..
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You don't loose data if you resize system.

The one uses phh and can mount system as r/w
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
Sorry, which one? I used the modified boot image and phh superuser but still titanium fails to remove stuff.. Can you please try yourself removing an app and report back? Maybe I'm missing something..
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That's not root issue it's titanium backup itself. Don't know why it fails
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
No it's not, been using titanium since ages on different phones and never failed ;)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BXM500:
I have the same issue with Titanium Backup.

Can't freeze or uninstall apps with it.

OT

Also.. cannot add any email accounts to the stock email app. It just closes when I try to.. Anyone has the same?

/OT
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
ROM Toolbox works fine for freezing/uninstalling System apps. Restoring System apps from backup doesn't seem to work though - but could be done manually if needed
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
That's not the solution we need ;) but good to know :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BXM500:
Tried that app now but freezing and uninstalling system apps is not working.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Same here but it just won't disable it here
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
Also naptime seems to fail, on my nexus using better battery stats I had 3 "doze" lines, while here I only have one for doze interactive time and not for the other two, so naptime isn't doing its job.. I hope to be able to use supersu really soon, because phh is faulty at the moment..
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] maluc:
Morning!

I rootet my P9 with the above mentioned method. Everything worked so far, seems to be rooted. The only thing is when i try do deinstall Bloatware/System Apps with my uninstall app, the phone always does a soft reset. What´s the problem, why can´t I deinstall Bloatware with this root mode?

Used "System Uninstaller" & "Rom Toolbox".....with both the same issue.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] streetsurfer:
So if I understand correctly. I need to advance wipe data

Does that mean I have to reinstall all my apps again?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
You only need to wipe data if you want to use TWRP with data partition (it works unencrypted then). It's not needed for root
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] streetsurfer:
Ahhh okay. Thanks

I tried to flash magiskh and didn't work.

I'll try SuperSU

Cheers
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
magisk is anither thing not the same as phh root
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
Try the latest supersu sr3 and tell us if it works :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
it wont

we still have no loop support
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
Why :(
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
Because Huawei removed loop mount support and there's no Nougat sources yet to compile it back in.

Reminder for everyone to email them asking for their kernel patches :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] streetsurfer:
Managed to root it with the post 1 SuperSU. Thanks!

I didn't do anything but flash the TWRP in fast boot after upgrading to B361.

TWRP reboots when I try to flash magiskh though.

It's mentioned in an earlier post that I need selinux in permissive? Or access to the data partition? That would mean I need to repartition etc? If I understand it correctly.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
In the mean time decrypt support it being worked on (not by me though) and progress I won't tell

All I know is that it's achieved but it is unstable for now.

Happy waiting
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mokhledr:
how can i unroot my P9 that i rooted following this guide
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Flash stock boot
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mokhledr:
stock boot.img ??
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
Yes - stock b361 boot image is available here: https://mega.nz/#!TgZmUIIb!gzMSguYNptHsnB4qLcItYMRYDWp_Un-OifOcXGlL6qs
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mokhledr:
okay i did all okay and relocked my bootloader now am trying to install b361 via internal dload and sdcard dload i get software install failed " failed to check the package content"
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
The normal steps are: (I am doing always this way)

1) Unroot with flashing unsu: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63615067 This zip removes also pph superuser

2) Extracting Stock Recovery (RECOVERY.IMG) and BOOT.IMG from the firmware with Huawei Update Extractor: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

3) Flashing Stock Recovery, flashing Boot.img

4) Boot into Stock Recovery, wipe Cache Partition.

5) dload (3 Buttons Method) Bootloader will closed automatically.

For b361 may (not sure) you must flash b360 with dload before... (always Full Firmware Packages)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pieropel76:
I just want to flash dolby atmos (dap_r6.5.zip) on my p9 b361. I don't understand this thread.... Can you tell me if it's possible ? And if so, can you explain how to do ?

Thanks
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Flash patched boot

Flash dolby zip
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pieropel76:
Patched boot is the boot.img file ?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pieropel76:
I flashed atarii's boot.img file and twrp-2016-12-15.img. the root work but when I flash my dolby.zip in twrp it's written in red "failed unmount data"
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
That's ok - you do get those errors commonly at the minute as TWRP is trying to access /data (for logs etc)

Reboot and check - as long as Dolby didn't need /data access it should be fine :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pieropel76:
After reboot Dolby don't work. The application closes by itself when I try to open it. It worked perfectly with marshmallow...
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pa-Jo:
Hi,

some news for EVA-L19?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] maluc:
Hi, is it meanwhile possible to deinstall Bloatware/System Apps without crashing/reboot?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
As far as I know it's not possible, but I hope in the near future a new twrp with supersu support will be released..
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
I created a L19 boot image but PHH superuser failed to install after so still WIP

ROM toolbox (Pro) works fine for me to remove /system apps. Other people have had issues, so I recommend installing JRummy busybox to /vendor/xbin
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lapocompris:
Has anyone successfully flashed host file (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916098) with this recovery ?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
You need to modify /vendor/etc/hosts instead of /system/etc/hosts - then any adblock hostsfile method should work

What happens if i update via ota to b378? I just received the notification and I don't want to screw anything up..
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] frenzissi:
root lost

Same Question for me, Will i lost the root if i update from B361 to B378 via OTA?

Thaks and bye
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yfos:
I guess that we are not able to update with ubl.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
Let's wait for clear instructions then..
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
Unroot it, flash update app, root again. Bootloader is still open after update.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
But I don't think that a custom boot.img has been created so root will not work..
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hfmls:
hi, i can't update to latest 378, any help pls? it goes straight into TWRP
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clouds5:
Interested in this as well. Usually the easiest way is to flash a full stock rom and then do the update. OTA updates are kinda sensitive to modded systems... What worked best for me in the past was using the Huawei updater tool but I understand that things are different now with 7.0?

But theoretically it should be possible to (NOT A GUIDE JUST A SUGGESTION! I haven't tried anything and will wait until we hear from someone who actually knows how stuff works :P)

-Unroot

-Flash stock recovery (anyone got a dl link for a recent one?)

-Flash stock boot.img (again... dl?)

do update

go through twrp/root process again. Any reason the custom boot.img for b361 should not also work for b378? (I have no idea what it actually does, I'm just a grateful user^^)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
You have to flash at first the Stock Recovery
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clouds5:
That's because the update requires stock recovery to install.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hfmls:
sorry, how can i do that?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
Root working with B378 lastest update (L09 only at the minute) :)

Needs an unlocked bootloader.

If starting from B361:

Restore stock recovery via fastboot/TWRP (B361 recovery here: https://mega.nz/#!jxpk0azQ!h15p-qDK7STC3gvb2RCmRlkb3OAyHBiZ3unMZUPwX-I)

Download B378 update.zip and extract to /dload folder on sdcard (I use external sd)

Turn off phone and hold three buttons down to perform update

Boot into system

Download B378 hw/eu.zip and extract to /dload folder (remove previous files from /dload first)

Repeat the three button procedure to update

Download my modified B378 boot image: https://mega.nz/#!ekJVzLyY!pOhWHYpdhuRSFtBvxGYlMMFH5hFg0TG8bG17D13ZohM

Root install method 1

Reboot into bootloader mode

Extract files and "fastboot flash boot rooted_b378_boot.img"

Reboot into system

Install phh's SuperUser app from Play Store

Install JRummy's Busybox Installer and install to /vendor/xbin

Root install method 2

Copy rooted_b378_boot.img to external sd

Download TWRP V2016-12-15 from page 1

Reboot into bootloader mode

Extract twrp.img and run "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"

Reboot into TWRP (note /data decrypt is still not working currently)

Select "Install" -> Click "Images" -> Go to External SD and select your rooted_b378_boot.img

Flash and reboot into system

Install phh's SuperUser app from Play Store

Install JRummy's Busybox Installer and install to /vendor/xbin

Coming soon to L19.

This procedure worked for me; coming from B361 with TWRP, rooted boot.img and modified /system partition

No responsibility if this doesn't work/breaks your device/eats your cat etc. - make sure you backup your data and have a backup boot/recovery image handy
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
[MENTION=4081738]Atarii[/MENTION] can you provide links to b378 and update eu files?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] frenzissi:
Thanks a lot Atarii.

I have 2 questions:

This procedure will erase all data from my phone?

Is it possible to flash the stock recovery directly from TWRP?

Thanks again and bye
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
If everything goes to plan - no data will be erased (but best to have a backup)

I think you can flash stock recovery from TWRP - although I didn't do that

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sebastiaanlabr:
Not working for me sir, 'Update package not found'
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
Looks like it - Huawei have uploaded a number of full and OTA files to the server with the same build id.

update_data_full_public.zip is the same as hw/eu file but for different region

That means update.zip was not correctly extracted to dload folder
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sebastiaanlabr:
I extracted the ota update.zip to the dload folder (external sd) Not working. After that i created a dload folder on the Internal sd, not working. A lot of files in the update.zip file, mabey because i'm rooted?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
No, rooted is fine - all that matters is stock recovery. Can you send a screenshot/log of your external dload folder?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] carlese:
Just another question: do I need to remove root with unSU before updating?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
I didn't

[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hfmls:
i tried update.zip but it gave me an error, should i try extract update.zip into dload so it uses update.app?

because i can't do it. i had twrp and root, now i flashed stock recovery you posted, and when i try to flash update.zip doesn't work.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Atarii:
Yes you should extract update.zip so the update.app is in the dload folder

[MENTION=4081738]Atarii[/MENTION] Hello . whether it is possible to create boot.img with the revised statuste se linux on permissive? Is it difficult and if mołbyś tell you how to do it or do it wmiarę time and opportunity? In some applications it is useful eg. Viper 4 android
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You can simply do this in some ways

One is to download init.d app from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.initd

Install and tick root option.

Create a folder like scripts

And create a file called enf.sh

With these lines

su

setenforce 0

And save, let the init.d app use your new folder with the script as the current folder.

Now press start on boot.

Make sure supersu is allowed to execute on boot and that the supersu app is allowed by system to start at boot (should be somewhere in permissions with label startup) and you should be done
