Does anyone have a backup from PRA-LX1C02B142 so I can restore my device?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] luigi_bros86:
successfully installed TWRP and rooted - BUT no APP in my Huawey P8 Lite

Dear,

I have done the procedure in the first page and I have successfully installed TWRP and rooted the device.

As soon as I have released "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxx" to unlock the bootloader my phone has been reset and no APPs are in the phone anymore.

I have no Google Play Store to install again everything. I don't have the keyboard so I cannot type and I have not the huawei-backup.apk (I was thinking to restore the APPs from the HiSuite if it is possible). Apart from these issues the phone is working normally but I cannot do much.

Do you have any recommendations?

My phone is the same as described in the first page: Model number: PRA-LX1 --- Build number: PRA-LX1C432B170

What logic I can follow to solve the problem.

Thank you for your post. It does exactly what it supposed to do. What did I do wrong to be in this situation?

Byee.

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
The smallest mistake makes the greatest damage. Your data partition has been deleted. Is rarely unlocking, but can happen. Install the K-Rom v.3.3. Then everything is included. Is better than the stock rom.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] luigi_bros86:
thank you ChinHon for the input. I struggled a bit but now it is working fine and it looks even great :)

After the recovery the phone got locked and I unlocked it for the second time via fastboot command. During lock time it was not possible to boot it up.

Can I do the same procedure everytime I need it? In this way I will feel free to play.

- I have one question reagarding TWRP.

I have backed up my phone (including also the DATA partition) and I read in the first page that TWRP is not reliable.

Does this applies also to this "K-ROM-V3-3"?

- I have noticed so far something about Link2SD.

It doesn't allow me to "integrate updates into system" and doesn't allow me to unistall any built-in APPs. Only frozen them.

Failure. mount:'/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system'->'system': Device or resource busy.

Thanks you again ChinHon.

You can repeat the installation without worry. Link to SD will not function anyway. You do system integrations with lucky patcher. You uninstall system applications with system application Remover from jumobile.

Hello, Is this normal?

So i've rooted the phone already and twrp installed. But i noticed that i cannot toggle anymore oem unlocking in developer options. And 2 days ago i received an update so i downloaded it via ota but when it was going to install the update twrp cannot finish the update, so i thought that maybe twrp cannot install the official update so i tried to install back the stock recovery via adb, but adb says also failed to install the stock recovery. So another method that i came up with my mind is to install twrp app and there i installed the stock recovery. after that i tried again to update and failed again.

I have bunch of sony phones and all of it has unlocked bootloader, and i understand that in sony once you've unlock your bootloader you cannot install updates via ota. So my question is, is it also true to huawei that once youve unlocked your bootloader, you cannot update your device via ota? Or just that oem unlocking toggle problem that causing the update could not be installed via ota. I have pra-lx2 device and current is 160 and trying to update to 166

And also additional note, in bootloader frp is locked. And i know I cannot unlock it unless i can toggle the oem unlocking wich is currently i cannot toggle anymore. Is there a way to toggle it again? It is in off state permanently
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] squallx85:
I had successfully unbricked my phone with this method but the only thing that doesn't work is the camera. the APP crashes every time I start or shows a blackscreen if I use some app camera applications from playstore.

Do you guys have any idea how to make the camera work again ?

Also, the update to B170 doesn't show :|

Thank you,
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] metabolito:
I unbricked my phone this morning and everything works OK. First it offered the update to B110, and after updating it offered the B170.

In the OP it says to perform a factory reset in Stock Recovery if it doesn't offer the update, maybe try that.

Dont know about the camera issue, but probably a factory reset will also fix that.

Hi all,

is there anyone so kind that can share with me a TWRP backup for the rooted phone "Huawei P8 lite 2017 [PRAGUE]" with the build number "PRA-LX1C432B170"?

Do you think that if I recovery my phone from that image I will get it back with the original rom?

Right now I have installed the "K-Rom v.3.3" image.

It works fine and I can say that I like it but I cannot figure out why after a bit that it is locked it stops receiving notifications.

It is like the applications doesn't run in the background.

Indeed when I open whatsapp I start getting all the messages.

The main problem is whatsapp. I don't know if other applications are also involved because I don't use them much.

Of course this is not a problem regarding notification settings. I have no idea why. Does anyone know about this problem?

Anyway, no matter if this problem can be solved or not, if anyone can share one TWRP backup Image I will be greatful.

Thank you all.

Hey guys, l followed this topic a while ago when l bricked my pra-lx1c432 but l didn't manage to fix it.

Eventually l gave up and bought a new phone which l recently got stolen :(

So before buying a new phone (again) l thought l could try to save my p8 lite 2017 (and money) one last time.

But l'm completely stuck: l tried the ChinHon unbrick method but unfortunately when it comes to the factory reset with the stock recovery, it always crashes at 5, therefore i'm not able to follow properly the instructions and it doesn't work.

I've already spent a lot of time on this, tried a lot of things but l think l can't do much more by myself and that's why l'm asking for your help.

I had bricked my phone and managed to repair it once when l just bought it by flashing system.img boot.img recovery.img of the pra-lx1c432b100 firmware but now i can't find it online and l've flashed so many things on it that l don't know if it 'd work now…

Anyway l hope you'll be able to help me thank you !

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] Tecalote:
Hello :) This isn't possible on a new Device. Did you bought it from ebay or some other online platform?

If your phone info shows you NRD90M test-keys, that means the firmware installation is corrupted or a Beta Version of Firmware.

You should maybe give the phone return and get a clean one.

I would not do anything with the phone.

On that point you don't should use eRecovery! You should disconnect USB from device and boot with Vol+ and Power into normal Stock Recovery and do the factory reset.

Huwei has on all devices two Recoverys: eRecovery and Recovery (on two different places, with different functions)
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] randhackr:
Also for those with a bricked phone as long as fastboot mode works you can use dc-phoenix (paid tool) to revive the phone. But I haven't managed to get a full firmware package yet.

Also for those who already are rooted can you please take a look at this thread? https://xdaforums.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-discussion/request-pra-lx1-oeminfo-t3581091 I also have test keys after attempting to modify the oeminfo partition and I need a clean oeminfo partition to restore the build number and missing applications (I don't care if it is single sim or dual sim, only C432 region).

Edit: also don't install the vodafone firmware. As far as I can tell huawei now splits the firmware in two zip files: update.zip and update_full_PRA-L11_hw_eu.zip (for B118 firmware C432)

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] Tecalote:
To enter Recovery disconnect USB from device. After:

press Vol+ (at first and hold it) and press PowerButton at the same time, until phone reboots and Huawei Logo appears - in that moment you can release only power button, but Vol+ must pressed all the time until Recovery is booted!

This can take some minutes!

This Button Combination is the same on all Huawei Devices. :)

And: booting into Stock Recovery - or booting into TWRP has the same Button Combination.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] :
On this device it is different a little bit. Pressure Vol. + and power comes together to a tip. Let go and some seconds wait, until the Recovery start.

[MENTION=7457039]Aaron Turkman[/MENTION] There's no other Root Solution for this device! Other methods will not work.

But it is important, if you use the Root Solution from this Thread - to understand every step and do it exactly as written.

After the step when Phone cannot start three times - it looks like for beginners "oh my God, my phone is bricked" :) but it isn't! On this point it is important nothing to do in eRecovery but disconnect the USB Cable and boot into normal Recovery and make a Factoryreset there...

Every step must made carefully and as described!

my phone did finally boot but it was hard...

busybox still fail to install
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] Tecalote:
As [MENTION=3854287]ripp2003[/MENTION] said: It's not possible to remove or modify that warning screen. It's on all newer Huawei Devices up that moment Bootloader is unlocked.

The screen doesn't say the truth, but this is another story - cause if you have Root you are the owner of your phone (and for this Bootloader MUST be unlocked) and if you don't have Root you are not fully the owner of your phone. Maybe 50% and the rest goes to the interests of the "Big Players" :cowboy:
