Reboot the phone

This tuto for supersu (above) doesn't work for me, I tested it. The reason is when I reboot to the TWRP, if I make "Install" via this button, I choose for exemple, the data folder, it's written to the right top, O MB. If for you, it's the same, don't try the tuto, the installation uses the data folder, so if you can't access to this folder, you mightn't install anything, this is what I thought, now I'm sure.

So for to install supersu, you (and me) should find another method, like this one:

Method of [MENTION=5932568]moath ryahnah[/MENTION]

Install frd-twrp via fastboot or this TWRP -3.0.2 for Nougat, it's the same

Reboot to recovery and chose wipe , format and write yes , wait till end

Install supersu for emui5, don't reboot

Last step install update data , according to your rom (mea, eu, ch)

Reboot

If you have already installed this TWRP -3.0.2 for Nougat via my TWRP tuto, then you can make directly:

Reboot to recovery and chose wipe , format and write yes , wait till end

Install supersu for emui5, don't reboot

Last step install update data , according to your rom (mea, eu, ch)

Reboot

Two tutorials are there, on gives the option to install TWRP for EMUI 5.0 Nougat via SRK Tools (replacing said option for EMUI 4.1). The second tutorial is for gaining root access to Nougat. I never gained root access this way, New tutorial advises to flash data zip at the end, easy peasy.

I tried the method in the op (posted in an other thread) and I am not getting it to work.

I have unlocked bootloader, root and I have decrypted/insecure boot.img for B320. I'm currently on C636B320 and want to go to C432B560. I have currently TWRP 3.0.2.

When I try to flash TWRP 3.0.3 via fastboot it show OKAY in the command window, but when I reboot to get to recovery my phone doesn't boot to recovery.

I see that you, [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION], have some different guide/steps then op. I might give it a test tomorrow if you point me at which post I should follow ? thanks in advance!

If you're on B320 you're currently on beta 4.1, Huawei updates don't play well this way. To get to C432B560, I would downgrade to stock C636B180, debrand to C432, dload to C432B180, system update to C432B192, and then Huawei Updater/Hisuite method to C432B560. May take you an hour, but it's easy peasy ?

If you installed the insecure boot.img, normally you might use the TWRP method in the OP post. My issue is that I didn't install this insecure boot.img to decrypt before the installation of the B560.

For the TWRP 3.0.3 which doesn't work for you, you can make with this TWRP and after installation to the B560, take this one.

Perhaps, he doesn't care to the Huawei updates.

No problem!

The methods works but not in my case, because what I explain upper.

I didn't install the insecure boot.img before

I didn't decrypt with format data, I formatted data but not with insecure boot.img. I read somewhere it doesn't work without that.

I think that I MUST to return in b320 in order to make that. For the moment, after lot of deception, I'm waiting a bit.

Thanks! :cool:
[Mate 8 General] apollo_81:
franzyroy@ So which method should I use? thanks .. I placed the link with the guide?
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Q1

You are in the B560?

yes

no

A1

If yes, I don't know. My case actually *

If no, you have to think to install the insecure boot.img then format data before to install the B560

Q2

If you are with a B560. Did you install the insecure boot.img and format data before to install it?

yes

no

A2

If yes, you might can root your phone.

If no, you are as me. Uncertain to be able to root a day.

(*) When I say I don't know, in fact I don't know under the B560 when we forgot to install the insecure boot.img and format data before.
[Mate 8 General] senseijulio:

What uncertainty? There's very little to lose really. The frwp method, reboot recovery, flash su and then flash data may actually be a good way to go. I haven't had the time to try it though, maybe later

[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Nothing says the contrary... normally yes. I doubt you would like a certainty. I had seen we should have the B320. But with the dload method, I think it's unecessary.

Good question. It's you are in my case with the B560 without to install the insecure boot.img + format data in the previous version (B320), I think that, like me, you will have a lot of trouble to root this damn phone of s...

Sorry for this insult! I had Samsung before and even with the knox, it wasn't also exasperating. :eek:

I gonna keep my calm, and take again my breath. Because now, I believe I gonna blow up. This phone put me completely silly.

I need a moment, to see to return to the B320... with hope that works. All what I make with this phone seems a true calvary.

However at the begining, it was good then no one helped me. Fortunately because, when I asked something, I had an answer not before 3 days and even more.

[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
I just can't get it to work with the TWRP version 3.0.2 that was linked by [MENTION=2875350]franzyroy[/MENTION] but I can't format data.

So tried to flash decrypted/insecure boot.img again and then TWRP 3.0.2 but again it failed... Try reversed TWRP 3.0.2 and then boot.img bit didn't make any difference. So tried the same with some other TWRP 3.0.2 files and also again with TWRP 3.0.3 but either I can not format data or in the case of TWRP 3.0.3 it doesn't boot to recovery even.

The only TWRP where I can format data is the one called 3.0.2-0_BLACK_BLUE_EMUI4.1http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/589e6c15ba670/IMG_20170211_015251.jpg

So I tried formating data on that version, then booting to fastboot and installing the other TWRP 3.0.2-next-modaco-rc3-emui4.1 and then flash B560 but I hit error 7 http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/589e6cf692e8f/IMG_20170211_020707.jpg

I really don't know what is going on... [emoji52] [emoji53]

[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Did you try the dload method to rollback to the B320?

Look post #464

TWRP 3.0.2 for Nougat is the link for frd-twrp, even if I think the link you gave me above is also this TWRP put in a zip.

However, even if supersu says that I'm rooted... I don't really have the privileges, I realized that I couldn't restore with Titanium, nor even go to the root of my phone with Solid Explorer.

So not completely functional! :rolleyes:
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
No I have never done the dload method, but won't they relock my bootloader and also I have to be on stock everything I belive.

It is just strange, that I can flash different versions of TWRP but I don't seem to be about to get any rom to flash. As long as TWRP is flashed I would belive I could flash any rom but it just isn't working... Really need help right now, I have run out of ideas.

I even try TWRP from srk tool it worked to flash TWRP but nothing else.

Tried to change oeminfo and custom.bin but in the srk tool it just hold at http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/589ef00e9a1e8/IMG_20170211_120522.jpg

Edit: Okay so after installing TWRP 3.0.2 emui 4.1 in srk tool my phone booted up! So now I'm on C900B320 again. I'm glad I have a phone I can use so maybe I should give up on trying to get to B560 [emoji53]
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
dload haven't locked my bootloader with the B560. Perhaps with the b320, but, if you've the code, it's not a problem. You might unlock it after.

I've also got the issue to install a rom under TWRP, certainly due too much manips.

SRKtools doesn't work because your debug mod is no longer activated, like you have certainly made the wipes.

---------- Post added at 12:24 ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 ----------

You say C900B360?
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
No sorry that's a typo. I'm on C900B320, checked About phone after booting up to check which version was flashed.
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Ok. And the bootloader, locked or not?

You MUST to install the insecure boot.img B320 and format data in TWRP in order to decrypt. To avoid to have again the same issue.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
Seems like the bootloader is unlocked, I get the message booting up that the phone is not trusted or something like that.

Insecure boot.img should be okay because I can access internal memory from TWRP or is there an other way to check?

I wonder if I should try to get to B560 [emoji85] how fast one forgets the bad times lol. Maybe if I first flash oeminfo and custom.bin for C432 from the srk tool it will work.

Skickat från min NEXT via Tapatalk
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
OK for unlocked phone.

For the fact to access to the internal memory with the B320, I could also access it when I was on the B320. However, you MUST install the insecure boot.img and format data before to install the B560.

Flash oeminfo and custom.bin for C432 from the srk tool is necessary.
[Mate 8 General] Leo_83:
So if I can format data then the insecure boot.img was flashed okay otherwise I will get fail/error when formating.

Haha so I will try this evening again wish me luck these are steps I will take

1. Be on B320 with TWRP 3.0.2 (link that you provided) and decrypted/insecure boot.img

2. Flash oeminfo and custom.bin for C432

3. Format data

4. Flash SuperSU 2.79

5. Flash update_full_hw.img

6. Flash update.img

7. Flash TWRP 3.0.3 (link that you provided)

Hi guys! After I'm done with the process and I delete twrp and unroot my phone(delete every evidence of device being rooted),will I get back my warranty? Thx in advance!
[Mate 8 General] franzyroy:
Hi mates

I've successful to root my phone from the B560, like that:

To have this TWRP -3.0.2 for Nougat on your SDcard

To have this http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v73563/f1/full/update.zip on your SDcard

To have this http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...3563/f1/full/hw/eu/update_data_full_hw_eu.zip on your SDcard

To have this SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip on your SDcard

Download my Insecure boot B560 img

Remove your code at the starting of phone (code - password - fingerprint) - due to my insecure boot img (explanation here why)

ROOT tuto:

You are on the B560 without root

Install TWRP -3.0.2 for Nougat (with ADB or SRKtools - I written how in the previous posts)

Install my insecure boot B560 img with adb - I write how below

Plug the phone with the debug mod activated

Launch a command prompt

Goes to ADB folder (me for exemple, it's C:\Android studio\platform-tools

Make: adb devices

Make: adb reboot bootloader

Rename my insecure_boot_b560.img as boot.img

Put the boot.img file in C: (you can put anywhere but you should know the path. So the better is to follow my instructions)

Make: fastboot flash boot C:\boot.img (Wait the end of installation)

Unplug your phone

Reboot to the TWRP recovery

Make: Wipe Factory reset

Make: Wipe --> Format data --> to write: yes - confirm

Install SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip

Install update_data_full_hw_eu.zip

Install update.zip

Install again SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip

Reboot system (possible it restarts twice - it was my case)

It's possible that certains steps are useless, but I made like that, and it has worked. So I advise you to make same.

The screenshots below confirm the root, like Solid Explorer where you can see the root (racine in french) of the phone. Now, when I go into the TWRP, it's not displayed 0 MB to the right top when I push the install button, I see the true size.

Finally, if all works like me, I say you .... ENJOY!!!!
