Root HUAWEI MATE 8 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How root HUAWEI MATE 8 Android v6.0 EMUI 4.1 ? THANKS

these devices are unlockable if you get the unlock code (i heard Huawei stopped giving them out, but you can purchase one reliably). then you can install TWRP and flash SuperSU.

No compatible Xposed at this time. Therefore you can't use gravity box.

If you use KII-L22(GR5 has variant KII-L21,22,24) , SImply Unlock bootloader, Install TWRP then install SuperSU same as KIW-L21/22/24.
Since I use KII-L22, I can't say TWRP works KII-L21,24.
You can find TWRP thread, and bootloader unlock thread. Read it.

Thanks For the conformation of
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Flash TWRP Recovery
3. Install SuperSU
On KII-L22
I use KII-L21 and still did not get the boot loader unlock code as english site is always busy and chinese site asks to wait for two weeks.
Once I get the unlock code I will try this on my L21. If there is anyone with unlocked KII-L21 please try and confirm the success.
@ssrnsrsr
1. In which web site you managed to obtain the unlock code?
2. Can you give it a try to flash CM 12.1 alpha released for 5X to see if it is compatible with gr5 ?

I use Chinese one. Form layout is same both English and Chinese.
In TWRP thread, reason of " wait 14 days" is talked. Support for KII-L variant is just started also.
So you had better to read and stick that for more information.
Twrp
Just for verification: is this right that the TWRP android_device_huawei_kiwi for the Huawei Honor 5X works with the KII-L22 variant of the GR 5?

And please don't use KingRoot, even if it works, it will mess up your phone for future updates.

The only other way is a paid method or you can wait 14 days after logging in on your phone with Huawei id.
If you wanna try paid method, just google huawei bootloader unlock paid method Paul O'Brian XDA and you can check it out.

If you want to still be able to use official ota updates (which are infrequent ) install it on erecovery partition . However, recovery partition is more accessible than erecovery ( no need to pc connection, booting up directly to twrp without restart) .
So if you're using custom Rom use recovery partition and if you are a fan of stock rom use erecovery.

[HELP] MT: Firmware Update Finder and its usage...

Hey, everyone, I just got the new P20 Lite running EMUI 8.0 and on the June security patch. Been through MT's Firmware Finder before with the Huawei Mate 9 Lite; however, I have seen that the app isn't working well with Huawei's servers at the moment - via the screenshot below.
How can I update my phone (model: ANE-LX3C605) to the latest security update (August) using the app - because, I can't seem to receive the OTA Update?
Here's the latest screenshot detailing the problem.
The latest version ANE-LX3C605 is not yet approved
You have to wait for the Full-PV so you can try that update :good:

Okay, thank you, King - but, how do I actually update it? It appears to me that Firmware Finder is broken.

instead use HurUpdate 0.4, its better than HwOTA8. HwOTA is quite buggy and broken. With HurUpdater, you dont need to rebrand your phone, however you should download the files which are actually meant for your device as per current ROM installed. Only difficult is that, you have to unlock your device which may result in data wipe, but you can always take a backup and recover. You also need to install twrp (I recommend Pretorian8 twrp). Rooting is not required for that.

Since Huawei doesn't give out unlock codes any longer for the bootloader, what's the best way to unlock my bootloader? Also, if I can unlock my bootloader, could you please also give me the link to HurUpdate?

For the time being, unlocking bootloader might cost around 5-15 Euros via DC unlocker. Click here for the detailed guide.
As the user states, you can try your luck to unlock your bootloader for free by mailing huawei care. I dont know how many had success by mailing though, but many succeeded by using DC unlocker.
Now after you unlock your bootloader, you can try using HurUpdater with detailed guide and download link.

Yeah, I'm not gonna pay 5-15 euros to unlock my bootloader... I tried emailing Huawei and they don't give any unlock codes whatsoever. Looks like I might have to wait patiently.
I have the same problem as you, with my p20 lite ane lx3c605, i´ve allready downloaded the last version from FF the b147, but the stock recovery doesn´t istall it, it stays in 5% then says error while updating, it seems the only way to have an updated huawei phone is paying for the code to unlock the bootloader, with my p10 didn´t have that problem because the official unloking code page was still working a few months ago.

Post your cust/build found in Settings - About
8.0.0.xxx (Cxxx)
Huawei stopped giving unlock codes for unlocking. Anyway there is no point of unlocking bootloader, because there is no custom roms
To unlock bootloader just use:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com
DC Unlock app or HCU.
You need 4 credits, in my case I was on android 8 update already and it worked flawlessly!
I did it, because of root. Adaway/Magisk/Titanium Backup.

Klem.. You are wrong. There are a few roms available for the phone which, of course, require an unlocked bootloader. So. IF you have an unlock code, there are roms for international versions: US devices are limited at the moment. IF you don't have a code, then you are unable to flash anything.

Nonsense! I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed one of the openkirin rims, Resurrection Remix! It all depends on your model and whether dc unlocker works.

4$ it's not a big cost to try at least. Probably refund is possible as well using dc-unlocker forum. I have seen some people there which got a successfully refund.

Just keep in mind, If you will have some problems with Magisk. After flashing the Magisk in TWRP you are getting a bootloop, here is a solution:

Second, open Kirin has your back.

How to install custom global rom on honor 8x Chinese Variant?

Chinese variants of EMUI 9 have lots of problems with Google play service,
Google play store Isn't working, .
As a non-chinese there is no use of a smartphone without Google play Service,
So i need to install custom global Rom in my Honor8X(JSN-AL00a),
How to do it?
Bootloader unlocked? Rooted?
If yes, you can rebrand to other regions.
But my device is JSN-AL00a,
Debranding possibl?

No its not possible. Because there is no method to unlock the bootloader. Nobody can sell you the code anymore. I have the same problem. We're stuck. The only solution is to change to a different phone.

Correct, these sites no longer have a solution to unlock Honor 8X. I have personally inquired from all of them. I am willing to pay but nobody at the moment has a workaround.

First of all I'm hating myself for procrastinating this when I could have done it months ago, **** me
Second of all, why is that? They had support for many months, why withdraw it now?
