Rooting has been developed and tested on this device:

Huawei P8 lite 2017 [PRAGUE]

Model number: PRA-LX1

Build number: PRA-LX1C432B170

Free device

You need:

- PC or Windows tablet

- USB cable

- Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10

- Minimal Adb and Fastboot

- OEM unlocking in the developer options active

- Huawei HiSuite (installs all necessary drivers)

OEM and FRP unlocked

Bootloader unlocking:

- Go to this page: Homepage - EMUI - on UNLOCK (Currently offline.),

- then on Account login - and log in with the Huawei ID.

- Then confirm the terms and conditions.

- On the next page, fill in the form. This page is self-explanatory.

- Confirm your entries with "Commit". The unlock code is now displayed immediately.

- Please note down immediately.

- Now start the PRA in fastboot mode and enter fastboot oem unlock in the Adb command window (PC)

- followed by your unlock code. (like this: fastboot oem unlock 123456787890987654)

- Now comes a hint screen, in which the unlocking is pointed out.

- You now have the option to cancel this action. If you confirm with yes, it will be unlocked and a

- Factoryreset will be performed.

FRP - Unlocking:

- After the reboot has just been executed, the device starts the new setup.

- Reject or skip anything related to security and Google. Can be made up later.

- After setup, turn on OEM unlock and USB debugging in the developer settings and boot back into Fastboot mode.

- It should be there now: FRP Unlock

Rooting:

The following is required:

TWRP recovery (prague311.img)

-in the ADB directory

SuperSU2.82-EMUI5-dm-verityPermissive.zip

(By [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION])

-to the Ext Sd

Backup your data using Huawei Backup.

Please enter only flash commands by using Adb.

Reboots only by keyboard combination.

Installing TWRP:

Connect the device via USB to the PC and start into the boot loader

(Fastboot Mode):

Now start adb on the PC and enter it in the terminal:

fastboot flash recovery prague311.img

Disconnect device from PC and start TWRP: Press Vol + and Power and hold both.

When signs or logo appears on the screen, release the buttons.

After a few seconds TWRP starts.

There the SuperSU2.82-EMUI5-dm-verityPermissive.zip flash

and reboot.

The device starts twice before it finally boots.

Then load from the Playstore the Busybox.apk from Stericson

and thus install Busybox into this path:

/ Su / Xbin

In the future:

All actions in TWRP must be executed wisely.

Learn about the features of this custom recovery.

Note:

The data partition is mountable in TWRP,

but is not reliably secured or restored.

Therefore, never delete the internal memory and data partition,

or perform a factory reset. I have had the experience that too.

Other partition backups will never be restored as they are

were created. A perfect restoring is not possible.

Please do not use TWRP for backup and restore operations.

If a backup or restore should be done, please always without the data partition.

Apply a factory reset only in stock recovery.

This can be done with a regular backup per Huawei data backup.

Button combinations:

Fastboot Mode: Vol.- and Power with PC connection

Recovery: Vol. + and Power without PC connection

eRecovery: Vol. + and Power with PC connection

All system reboots always without PC connection.

Without PC connection means that the cable from the PRA

is separated, only from the PC is not sufficient.

I wish you success!

Root the PRA is now also available with the Magisk-v13./16.

Requirement:

- Firmware from the B164

- not root

Who has already rooted with SuperSu, lets

everything as it is.

Magisk Rooting:

- Install MagiskManager-v5.3.0.apk

- flash Magisk-v14.0.zip by TWRP

- flash BusyBox-Magisk-1.25.zip by TWRP

- reboot and update the MagiskManager.

For this we thank the Magisk developer

[How to unbrick]

The procedure of rescue is risky.

Without appropriate knowledge, I advise.

It is only successful if the instructions are executed exactly.

This TWRP backup rom is not suitable for normal use. It was created for the following purpose:

- Rescue of bricked phones.

- Force an OTA update.

Do not root this rom!

Unzip the download 2017-08-11-RESCUE.ROM.PRA.OTA.B164.to.170.rar (1.05 GB).

This creates the TWRP backup:

2017-08-11-RESCUE.ROM.PRA.OTA.B164.to.170

installation:​

copy my backup to the TWRP backup path to the Ext Sd.

(see screenshot)

Boot into the Bootloader.

Stock Recovery flash by adb.

In the recovery start and

perform a factory reset.

Boot into the Bootloader.

TWRP flash by adb.

To start TWRP.

There data wipe

and restore my backup.

In the Bootloader start and

flash by adb the Stock Recovery.

There then again a factory reset.

Reboot

When the boot process is finished,

Go to Settings> Update program> New version> Update.

Will not be offered, in the Stock Recovery again perform a factory reset.

The upgrade to the B170 succeeds only with sim-card.

You have now done an official update and a new, clean and up-to-date firmware.

Congratulation!

Thread Update: 2017-11-10

There is also an alternative method. This can work, but it doesn't have to.

Starts the device into eRecovery and tries to recover and download the firmware.

If you had the B170, this one will also be sent to you here offered.

If it works, then immediately starts the download and installation.

Thread update: 2017-12-09

[Rooting B182]

With SuperUser:

After the update to the B182

surely TWRP already flashed

and created a backup.

Now installed in TWRP, on the Stock Kernel,

the "SuperSU-v2.82. PRA. B182. zip"

from the appendix.

Reboot and ready.

You can use the Busybox from the App

suggested path.

With Magisk:

As described above.

Nothing's changed.

Threadupdate: 2017-12-30

Here's the new rescue rom:

https://xdaforums.com/p8lite/p8-lit...ck-rom-huawei-prague-pra-xxxc432b182-t3727816

Threadupdate: 2018-01-04

Here I have a new possibility to restore a bricked device:

It's an original Huawei UPDATE.APP.

It is designed for emergencies to repair damaged firmware.

However, some functions are limited until the next OTA Update.

The Magazine-Unlocking does not work and other themes cannot be activated.

TWRP backup and restore are faulty and can lead to a brick.

Don't use dual recovery here. eRecovery is mandatory.

After downloading the UPDATE. ZIP you unpack the archive.

Now create the folder dload on the ExtSd

and copies the resulting UPDATE.APP there.

Now in the dialer with the input of *#*#2846579#*#*

call up the secret menu and perform the update. If you can't boot anymore, you start

the update as follows, without USB connection:

Vol. + and vol. - and power and press together and hold on tight. The device goes off and on again.

As soon as text appears on the display, release all keys. Now start after the update process within a few seconds.

After this update the firmware should be repaired.

TWRP and root do not need to be removed as they are overwritten during the update.

The FRP is then locked again.

After the first reboot go to recovery and make a factoryreset and reboot again.

Now disable in the developer options the oem unlocking und your device is full stock wihout the bootscreen: "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". If you need twrp and root again, unlock with the huawei unlockcode.

Good luck.

And now we install the OREO-Beta:

Download:

LX1C432B321-PRA log (8.0.0.321)

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G2312/g1699/v130567/f1/full/update.zip

Instructions:

The UPDATE.ZIP from the download, nocheck.img and Magisk-v16.0.zip copy to the extSd card.

Perform a HW backup

Sync your Google Account.

Write down Google Login data.

Enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.

Perform a factoryreset. (Stock Recovery)

Now carry out a short new setup.

Reject everything for security and google, or skip it.

Can be made up later.

Reactivate OEM unlock and USB debugging.

Now flash TWRP. (prague311.img)

Then install nocheck.img into the recovery partition with TWRP.

This is a stock recovery that bypasses the UPDATE.ZIP check and makes it

so that it can be installed.

Now enter the following command in the TWRP terminal:

echo -update_package=/sdcard/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command

Please follow the exact spelling!

Then enter in the terminal: reboot recovery.

The device now boots into the recovery and installs the UPDATE.ZIP.

That'll take a while. Afterwards you boot directly to OREO.

Congratulations!

:)

I've been using OREO for a few hours now and haven't found any bugs yet. They are of course

as it is probably a beta version.

The settings still contain the same firmware entry,

as before installation. I don't know why that is. But it is

actually the EMUI 8 firmware with Google patch from 01.04.2018.

A test of the eRecovery recovery revealed that there the rollback of

EMUI 8 on 5 is offered. I promptly tested it successfully.

Rooting:

Install the OREO TWRP via ADB. (FIGO4.img)

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk figo4.img

Install the Magisk-v16.zip there.

After rebooting the Magisk Manager app and check the root.

To what extent an update capability to the following firmware exists,

is unfortunately beyond my knowledge and remains to be seen.

Have fun with OREO.

One more comment on the new TWRP:

The TWRP comes from my P smart and is compatible.

More partitions can be backed up there than used to be the case.

However, restoring carries unpredictable risks/results.

Please select only the following partitions for backups in the future:

kernel

Boot Ramdisk

Recovery Ramdisk

System

The data partition can only be backed up after a previous formatting.

You will to get back to EMUI 5:

Starts the eRecovery. There will be a rollback for EMUI 5, at the latest after a Factoryreset.

And now for the final:

[OREO-Custom Rom] Huawei P8 lite 2017 - PRA-LX1 -

K-Rom V.1.1 - EMUI 8, Android 8

On TWRP backup basis:

Developed and tested on this device:

Huawei P8 lite 2017 (Prague)

Model Number: Huawei PRA-LX1

Build Number: FIG-LX1 8.0.0.0.046(C432)

free device, without branding, with root and

TWRP recovery

The OREO beta from this thread is required:

Huawei P8 lite 2017 - PRA-LX1C432B321(8.0.0.321) - EMUI 8/ Android 8 - OREO

Mods:

Call Recorder and KangVip Advanced Settings

It is based on the official Asia-B046 and KangVip version for the Honor V10 (BKL)

Quick guide for experienced users:

Please make a TWRP backup of these partitions,

separately: Kernel, Boot Ramdisk, Recovery Ramdisk and System.

It serves to restore the old system, if you don't like this Rom.

The Rom will be installed as if you were restoring a TWRP backup.

wanted to. All your apps will be preserved.

Further requirements:

TWRP Recovery,

Root is not necessary,

OEM and FRP unlocked,

USB debugging on.

You are familiar with the subject? Then let's go!

A Unroot is not necessary.

Preparation:

Your device must be fully equipped. Including all accounts and apps.

Synchronize the accounts as usual. Especially the Google Account.

Perform a backup with the Huawei data backup.

Remove the device pin, Sim Pin, Face Unlock and the fingerprint.

Installation:

Download: 2018-04-22-PRA-OREO-K-ROM-V1.1.exe

Run this self-extracting archive on the PC.

This creates a TWRP backup folder.

Copy to the TWRP backup directory on extSd.

Restore the backup completely and reboot it into the system.

Do not wipe before and after restoring.

The installation is now complete.

Xposed is not perfectly compatible yet and I will send it later. The system has root

with Magisk. Therefore the existing SuperSu app has to be deleted.

Do not use "hide NavBar" in the Kangvip Advanced Settings, as it only works in China Roms.

Hiding the NavBar is integrated in the EMUI 8.

In the K-Advanced Settings / tune cpu, some changes of the Cpu power are possible. Anyone who

Power needed, can do that. Testing the "Save" options is useless. I tested it extensively.

The in-house Huawei energy saving settings are unbeatable. The Advanced Settings

I will not describe in more detail here, as these are very extensive. Most settings can be set to

the screenshots. On these it can also be seen that I have already been

I've made some design changes. See Notification Bar, Desktop and Appdrawer.

Good luck!

Not for me, because I don't take money for it. I made this Rom for my purposes.

I love it when these things work. And it does. Now I share it with you.

WARNING !

If all this has worked on my device, it does not mean that it goes with everyone else. Follow exactly the instructions to prevent damage. The execution is your risk.

Never make a factory reset in TWRP. Brick !!! Wipes only in stock recovery.

Tipp:

The current bricks were mostly caused by TWRP. The Data Partition is missing or corrupted. This is done by TWRP, which still generates errors. There is still no TWRP that works properly. Directly after a new update usually goes everything. But at the latest after the rooting come the problems. Then you can not edit the data partition anymore. No backup and no restoration of data partition.

NOTE: Despite careful preparation I can not guarantee that through the implementation of this Guidance does not create damage to the device or operating system, and therefore assume no liability for ensuing damage and malfunction of hardware and software! If you are still unsure, follow these steps: Only perform the procedure if any mentioned conditions (model number, Android version, etc.) apply to you or your device. Read the instructions carefully and completely, check unfamiliar terminology by google or xda. Downloaded files check for viruses. A backup of important settings and data make. The instructions do not perform, if you do not know what you're doing.

These warnings must be, that is logical. In the end, I have experienced this: For testing, I have seven times a complete backup and can also restore. TWRP worked wonderfully now. When I then restored an older backup, the old error came back.

TWRP works correctly: Before the first restoring first in the stock recovery make a factoryreset. Then also in TWRP and there data wipe. Then restore the backup. All goes well. All older backups I have deleted.

This project is finished. There are no more downloads available.
