[How To Root] Huawei P smart - Android 8 - EMUI 8.0.0

The Rooting was tested by me on this device:

Model: FIG-LX1

Board: FIG-L31

Build No.: 8.0.0.128(C432)

EMUI 8 - Android 8

"free device"

Whether the following instructions are based on provider-branding is applicable, I could not test

and therefore advise against it.

Warning: Rooting will void the device warranty. Be careful with the newly acquired root rights.

I recommend this only to users who are fit in handling a custom recovery.

This TWRP is not yet perfect and should be used with caution.

Make sure to backup all data on the SD card. (PC, stick, or HD)

Create a backup with the Huawei Backup App.​

Make sure the bootloader is open.

OEM and FRP unlocked,

in the device settings, OEM unlock and USB debugging enabled.

The stock kernel is mandatory.

This is flashed in fast boot mode/ bootloader:

If the device is unroot, it does not need to be done.

fastboot flash kernel kernel.img

(KERNEL.img.header must also be in the adb folder.)

This steps must be followed exactly:

Factoryreset in recovery.

Flashing TWRP in the bootloader: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk FIGO.img

Boot to TWRP and change the file system of the external SD card:

Wipe> Advanced Wipe> Micro SD card> Repair or Change File System> Change File System> FAT:

Execute with "Swipe to Change".

This change deletes all data on the SD card.

Switch to the Mount menu and unmount all partitions. (remove all hooks)

On the internal and external memory.

Then create a backup:

Backup> Select Storage> Micro SD card> select all partitions,

except cache. Then reboot the device into the system and copy the Magisk Zip to the SD card.

Then install in TWRP: Install> Select Storage> Micro SD card> Magisk-v16(1600).zip> Swipe to confirm Flash.

Is there an error message, installing this Zip via MagiskManager App.

Reboot and if not available, install the MagiskManager App and check the root.

The routing is now complete.

Install Magisk modules only with the app; never with TWRP.

Important:

Never wipe the cache or perform a factoryreset.

[*]Please do not experiment with Xposed. This leads to the bootloop and the Firmware must be completely reinstalled.

[*]Please with each backup, make sure to unmount all partitions again. (internal and external)

Update via Firmwarefinder:

Start Firmwarefinder App and select the appropriate update.

Then on GET AN UPDATE THROUGH DNA.

Then on WITHOUT IMEI.

Availability is displayed.

Now click on REGISTER UPDATE and the registration is displayed.

Then click IN-APP PROXY.

Now activate DNS in the router, enter 81.177.139.39 as addresses and save.

Now go to the WLAN settings on the phone, touch and hold the active connection.

Then change to Network in the menu.

Under Proxy-manual, enter localhost and port 8080 as host names for extended options.

Now only set the IP setting to DHCP. Now start the eRecovery.

Vol.+ and Power with PC connection

There on "Download latest version and recovery".

Then click on "Download and recovery" and register there under Select WIFI.

Now the update is displayed and can be started.

When rebooting, the device lands in the bootloop,

execute a factoryreset in the recovery.

After the update reboot and all changed WLAN settings, also in the router

and reboot it again. If you don't, it'll be over by the time

next OTA update is displayed again and again, since the authorization remains in memory.

Attention: Changing the oem.info can

cause the phone to lock. OEM/FRP=LOCK

Thread Update 2017-03-28:

A new TWRP is now available. It is version 3.2.1-0.

Original Chinese developer version.

Instructions:

First perform the Huawei data backup.

Flash TWRP per Adb as usual.

Then switch from Chinese to English.

Then assign write and read rights by removing the hook in wipe menu.

Now for security, create a backup without data.

Then Format Data.

Create a new full backup including data. This is possible now that the

formatting is the size of Data = 0.

Now reboot the device and set it up completely new.

Now there is a new and configured data partition.

Then turn OEM and USB back on and boot to TWRP.

Then create a new full backup.

TWRP is now fully functional. Only the MTP mode does not work.

Good luck!

Despite careful elaboration, I cannot guarantee that the execution of this manual will not cause any damage to the device or operating system and therefore I do not assume any liability for any damage or malfunction of the hardware and software! If you are still unsure, follow these steps: Follow the instructions only if you or your device is subject to any conditions (model number, Android version, etc.). Read the instructions carefully and completely, look up unknown terms. Check downloaded files for viruses. Make a backup of important settings and data. Do not follow the instructions if you do not know what you are doing.

These warnings must be logical. Please process my comments correctly.
