[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] roosta:
OK..

There's a lot of scattered posts from Mate 9 and now a P10+ thread for TWRP and again, separate post again for a more universal root method. So let's try and consolidate them into the one place and focus on the one device - that way we help those who get easily confused (yes, people like me) making sure all resources are in the 1 spot. I may end up creating a separate thread to POOL all resources together. But for now, i'll use this post:

So how do we go about ROOTING P10 Plus - assuming its **MY** VKY-L29 international DUAL SIM model 128GB / 6GB?

Pre-root and TWRP step: OEM unlock code - The guide below mentions calling and then getting an email. How can you get it off their website??

The following is courtesy of [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION] for the guide and [MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION] for the SuperUser root method:

HOW-TO INSTALL

0. Make sure you enabled OEM unlock in settings, if you haven't please do that now by tipping 10 times on build number (to activate developer options), than open developer options and go to OEM unlock, enable it

1. Having an unlocked bootloader IS a requirement! ***

2. Download the TWRP recovery (file is in his post, page 1, post 1 - OP)

3. Make sure you got fastboot drivers installed (I will describe this below in how to unlock your bootloader)

4. Open the adb/fastboot application on your PC and copy the IMG file from step 3 into the same root folder of ADB/fastboot

5. Boot your phone into download mode

(

First method

: fastboot reboot-bootloader while connected to pc.

Second method

: power off your phone, hit power on and volume down until it boots to download mode)

6. On this screen, your phone should say "Phone Unlocked". If not - don't proceed.

7. If it IS unlocked, type now into your adb/fastboot terminal: fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.IMG where FILENAME is the name of the file you've download in step 3 with the extension (.img)

8. Type: fastboot reboot

9. Now boot into recovery by pressing: power+volume up at the same time

10. Enjoy TWRP!

HOW-TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

1. Call Huawei in the HiCare app, request the bootloader unlock code there (I had to give my email, IMEI, serial number etc)

2. You will receive an email maybe a few days or hours later with the unlock code, when you got it you can go on here

3. Install minimal adb and fastboot drivers from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

4. Plug in your phone and make sure all huawei drivers

installed properly!

5. Enable developer options in settings as described above.

6. Enable OEM unlock, enable USB debugging (both in developer options)

7. Open the adb tool you installed recently

8. Type fastboot devices (now a device number should show up)

9. Type fastboot reboot-bootloader (your phone will now boot into bootloader, if not, you haven't set up drivers or adb/fastboot correctly)

10. This step will wipe all your data! Type: fastboot oem unlock xxx (Where 'xxx' represents your unique unlock code)

11. Ones it's done type: fastboot reboot. Your phone will reboot and you have an unlocked bootloader!

12. You can now go on installing TWRP on your device

HOW-TO ROOT YOUR HUAWEI P10 PLUS:

0. Create a backup, just in case

1. Have an

unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed

from above

2. We will use this root method LINKED HERE: https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/wip-selinux-capable-superuser-t3216394

3. Download

latest official phh superuser zip

(At time of copying over this guide, it is 'r275 version') http://phhusson.free.fr/superuser-r275.zip

4. Put the zip on your external SD card of your phone (since we can't access /data in twrp)

5. Boot into TWRP and flash the downloaded file

6. Install latest Material phh apk: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69224582&postcount=1896

Am I missing anything? Can I add to or delete info from any steps? This should work without a hitch? I'll keep updated this. Thanks to all those who have helped write or create methods for successfully achieving root/TWRP on other Huawei devices. I want this to focus on the P10+ Plus
