Thank you.
The factory upgrade can then be applied? I do not want to replace rom, just use backup program. Eg titanium backup
Previous phone, a galaxy gio was running on CM7. I have used the factory rom for 2 days. Therefore, there is no experience regarding the factory upgrades. D

Sorry for that, but i don´t know if Factory Updates can be applied, because there is no newer Rom available.
I don´t found a Download for the Stock Rom that was installed at delivery.

I've rooted my P7-L00 with the same method and it's ok to do so. Regards

Great to hear the it also works on other Variants of the Ascend P7 too.

Hi.
Does anybody have problem with editing /systems/etc/hosts file? It looks like "HTC S-ON"(system partition read only). I notice that after trying using Adaway(https://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/adaway/).

On my P7 ist the newest Firmware B121SP01 installed, and i have no Problems to write with RootExplorer on System Partition.
Regards

Hi all,
I just received my Ascend P7-00.
After 2 updates, it is in version P7-L00V100R001C17B122SP01 and impossible to root it with the version 1.9.6 of Root Genius !
If you have any idea how to do it, I'll be glad (I need to remove all chinese apps which are polluting my phone !)

Do you still have these problems? I may be able to help.

I have the same problems with my HUAWEI P7-L10 (P7-L10V100R001C00B116SP03)
I tried RootGenius v1.9.6 and v1.9.4 as well (AntiVirus deactivated) but both times it said that this device is not supported.
Has anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?

I doubt you are doing anything wrong. I'm guessing you have upgraded your phone since you bought it. In some of the more recent Huawei upgrades for the Ascend P7, changes have been introduced by Huawei that render RootGenius and Vroot incompatible. I found the only answer was to revert the phone to an earlier build, root it with either RootGenius or Vroot and then apply the upgrades through HiSuite. This way you don't lose root.
The original rom for the L10 can be found here:
http://android-host.de/HUAWEI/P7/B121SP01/B121SP01.zip
It's a large download.
Once you have it, you need to extract the zip on your computer and then place the dload folder and its contents (update.app) onto a USB stick or your micro SD card and apply the update (settings/updates/system updates) using either the local update (SD card) or USB drive option. I think this should work but I don't have the same variant as you so I can't test. Nor can I guarantee it.
Most of the info on the P7 is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643183
You may want to check it out before you do anything. A lot of the contributors have the L10.
Hope this helps

Thanks @arthios for your trick,
You're right, I made the updates before rooting my device.
Unfortunately, I have a L00 version. I need to find the good ROM.
I'll let you know !

OK. You're in luck. The web site "needrom.com" has ROMs for the L00. You'll need to create an account before you can download. I suggest you take the most recent. I think it's build 119. Download it, extract the file to your computer, copy the dload folder and its contents to either SD or USB and using the phone, apply the update. Once it's all done you can root with RootGenius. I replaced the RootGenius binary with SuperSu from the play store. That's just my personal preference but you don't have to. Once rooted you can apply updates through HiSuite. Suggest you retain the ROM you download in case you need to repeat the exercise at some time in the future.

Hi !
I had the same issue.
I found (somewhere here) an apk called Google Installer which allow you to install Google apps without being rooted.
It helps me to install the synchronization of my contacts from my Google account.

It could help to have a specific folder in xda !

[Q] Downgrade of EMUI

Hello.
After OTA upgrade of my Ascend P7 EMUI ( Now it is P7-L10V100R001C00B133SP01 - probably from B121) i am experiencing higher energy comsumption and few other strange things. (the auto brightnes is not working the way it should .. etc.)
Is there a way how to downgrade the build, i want to try if it will help to get back the battery performance.
Can anyone please wite short (step-by-step) process for me? (for exmape 1. root your phone with this XYZ, 2. download OLD build of EMUI here ABCDEF ... )
I am totally new to this and want to try but i see that usually peopele here are talking about things they understand and i am lost in it.
Thank you for any help.

Hey man, everything's on this forum.

Just download the version you want an put it in the phone, then go with the Upgrade app.

From EMUI 3.0 there is NO downgrade!

Unfortunately in case of EMUI 3.0 is not true anymore!
I yesterday downloaded the new, EMUI 3.0 ROM (B604) for my P7-L00 and installed without problem. The new UI is promising and interesting, but it is the first developer version and still has some bugs. So, I decided to put back the old, but well-functioning ROM (B125SP03).
But I cannot do it! Nor the so-called three-button method, neither using the upgrade app works. The process starts but some seconds later the Recovery (which also has new look) says that the flashing process failed. Without further explanation, error code or something.
So, now I don't know, how to get back my previous firmware... Any idea?

Maybe You could flash old stock recovery first ?

Yes, it's a good idea. But how? My phone is not rooted.
Otherwise TWRP is not ment to flash 'Update.app' files, as far as I know...

Mayby try installing stock "recovery.img" by Adb and Fastboot and after that update.app by normal procedure.
Im not sure but I think that Fastboot don't need root to flashing recovery.
Try this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/to-stock-recovery-t2893281

Does anybody know-
- is there only one version for the `recovery.img´
or we have a newer and older versions ???

I also can not downgrade from 3.0 Emui back to a lower version ( B135 / B133 / ... )
TWRP does not work anymore , because i can not EMUI 3.0 root over RootGenius and downgrade via stock recovery dload version also does not work .
When Verifing update package it always stops in different timeline installation .
Who advise you how to downgrade from Emui 3.0 back to Emui 2.3 ?
EDIT:
Please i need stock recovery from B604 EMUI 3.0
I think the stock recovery from EMUI 2.3 does not work correctly on EMUI 3.0 firmwar.
But if there are different versions of stock recoveryes .
In stock recovery menu EMUI 2.3 can not move at all , not responding to anything .
Therefore, the dload update firmware version is not correctly installed.
Z TWRP via ADB I had to revert back to the original stock recovery, so I went to install dload version 3.0 EMUI

Does it mean that there is no way to go back to EMUI 2.3 ROM anymore? !

Well I would also like to know.
I tried to downgrade P7 - L07 EMUI 2.3 B125 and error during installation.
I tried to pull the recovery of EMUI 3.0 B604 and downgrade and also without success.
Someone please advise ?

Well, I think that we should pull the recovery from the PREVIOUS ROM, and flash it before downgrade, and NOT the EMUI 3.0 recovery. Because theoretically only the EMUI 2.3 recovery should be capable of installing an EMUI 2.3 ROM.
But, according to your own experience, the old recovery did not do the job well either. So, I have no idea...

It seems that we have to wait for the newer EMUI 3.0 versions which hopefully will resolve the bugs and improve the user experience. After all, the phone can be used with the new B604 ROM too. It's just annoying that now it's worse than it used to be...

Maybe new rom with EMUI 3.0 is changing more than recovery only ?
Huawei Ascend P7-10 by Tapatalk2

So I was without a cell phone , because I have a backup of all the TitaniumBackup and then still complete backup in TWRP.
And EMUI 3.0 have not TWRP and ROOT, and go back to EMUI 2.3 not work , I'm a little more upset.

you can use any
1-Try to install by twrb a nandroid copy of b 135
or
2- extract update.App for your phone by HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.8.0 & obtain original recovery then flash by adb comands
& EVERY THING WILL BE GOOD

[Q] Unlock Bootloader B609 + recovery

Hi everyone
I recently updated to B609 and (as expected) my phone was un-rooted.
I decided it would be better for me to just install a ROM instead of waiting for a new way to ROOT every time a new OTA comes out. (I have seen some very interesting ones that include Xposed)
This would be the first time i install a ROM on one of my phones but i do know how to use custom recovery's and i will always keep a copy of a backup close so i can flash back when something goes wrong.
A problem i have with starting all of this: I can't seem to find a way to unlock the Bootloader on my phone.
I have looked online but i always get links for older versions/other phones/German stuff.
Second problem: The recovery. As far as i understand, there is no working TWRP for EMUI3.0. BUT there should be a working CMW recovery. Should i go fot CMW?
Third problem: Which ROM? There are 3 that grabbed my attention. Se7en-Rom (But it seems like it hasn't been updated in a while), My-RoM (which seems the most interesting for me at the moment) and Miui (which i just found out about). Which should i go with or should i use another one? I can already say that i want my phone Rooted and Xposed is something i would love to have back (since i used to have it on my previous phone).
Any advice and help would be appreciated

I have a P7-L10 with B609. I was able to successfully root it with RootGenius. When you root it, the bootloader is unlocked at the same time. As far as I can tell, the root is 100%. As for CWM, you can get it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/development/mods-tweaks-kernels-recoverys-emui-2-3-t2966670
TWRP doesn't work with B609/emui3.0.
My L10 has faulty flash memory and won't accept a custom recovery, so I can't test CWM or any custom ROMs. Perhaps others can advise. Good luck!

RootGenius was the first thing i tried. It went up to 66% then i got an error but that was a fully Chinese version.
I just tried it again with the one i found by using Google and it goes up to 72%, then tells me that the root has failed.
Which version did you use?

This is what I used and it worked fine (root genius): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789337
As for bootloader, as far as I know from, starting with firmware 133 (Emui 2.3) all devices have unlocked bootloader
CWM is the only custom recovery for the moment;
Did not try any custom ROM (I'm happy with stock ROM for the moment).
Cheers

That's the first one i tried out. The first few times it ended in an Error. I tried it again today and when my phone reboots during the process, RootGenius loses contact with my phone.
And there is a bootloader-ish thing, but the only options i have is reboot, factory reset and cache wipe.

Hmmm, strange problem. Assuming you have the latest version of HiSuite installed and your drivers are current, all I can suggest is trying again with RootGenius (I used version 1.8.7) with your firewall and antivirus disabled or perhaps trying with Vroot. If you do decide to try Vroot it probably won't work unless you disable your firewall and antivirus.

I disabled my firewall and antivirus and gave RootGenius another try. Normally it goes up to 71% and gives me the error. Now it went to 71%, rebooted and then it gave me the error. The weird part is that right before i get the error, it says the installation is complete.
Moved on to Vroot (which is called Iroot now apparently) . It took a while longer but it wasn't able to do it either.

Get in bootloader mode, if your bootloader is unlocked, it will be written and highlighted with red color. I will point out again, starting with firmware B133 (Emui 2.3) all bootloaders for L10 version (I don't know for Chinese versions) are unlocked

You were right! (not that i every doubted you). I found the problem i had: For some reason, i couldn't boot in bootloader trough my phone BUT i was able to do it with 'adb reboot bootloader'. After making some idiotic mistakes and having to re-flash the stock ROM, I finally was able to install My-RoM v3.3, its rooted, i have Xposed so i am happy
So thank everyone for the help!

Any tool to root P8 lite 2017 ?

Hi there.
Does anyone has informations about rooting the new p8 lite 2017?
It comes with android nougat 7.0 and I can't find any TWRP, SuperSU ...

P8 lite regular have different specs from 2017 version, if I were you I give a try in the Honor 6x section, because the CPU is the same maybe you could get some hints there.
Other devices with same CPU:
-Honor 8 lite
-Mate 9 lite

Thank you.
But I'm not courageous to test these tools - I don't want to brick it.
So, I unlocked the bootloader and now I need something like TWRP and (maybe) a modified SuperSU to get root.
If someone has any informations about, let me know.
Regards.

Well, it should work. In the worst case you could just reflash your old recovery with fastboot.

Could you tell us if it's worth it to buy or not please ? Bcz im thinking about having one but i dont know samsung a5 2017 is cool too and better in a lot of things

i think twrp from 6x would work on P8 lite 2017
then you on terminal put (for the safest case), echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
and you are done, it should work, on my Moto G 4G (XT1040) i do that to root on nougat

Use Magisk to root it

Trying is free, but try it.
Download and install magisk from store. It will try to install binaries. If you succeed you are done. If it fails try the other solutions gave by others.

As I said: I don't know for sure , which version works with the new 2017 p8lite.
(The fone isn't mine, so I take care and don't want to brick it.)
Edit: As reported in Android-hilfe, the TWRP of Honor 6x will NOT work.

I also tried a few recovery roms, none that worked. Still waiting for a working one!

In this case it can be related to kernel or some other info.
Since these devices are very similar it should be easy to port twrp

I think we should get a new section for the P8 lite 2017.

In this case it can be related to kernel or some other info.

None of the TWRP did work, as a user in another Forum reported.
I can't test by myself, because the fone isn't here anymore.

I tried the RevolutionRecovery for P9 Lite Nougat. Is not able to mount system.

I tried all day long to unlock the bootloader, creating a Huawei account and following step by step the procedure to can get an unlock code. But once I got it, trying to unlock by DOS prompt, it failed and remains locked. I think because this procedure is related to P8 Lite, and not to P8 Lite 2017. Currently it seems to be there's no way yet to can root the P8 Lite 2017, unfortunately for all possessors of it, like me

I have to correct my post above.
This TWRP istn´t able to mount data, not system...but this has been described in the RevolutionRecovery thread, nothing specific to the P8 Lite 2017.
So flashing SU doesn´t work, flashing magisk zip makes the phone reboot instantly.

Unlocking the bootloader worked pretty well for me and someone in another forum said, he was able to root the phone manually by pushing su and busybox binaries to bin and xbin.

Witch guide has been used for unlocking bootloader? And for rooting without unlocking bootloader?
Thanks in advance

Huawei P9 - Android 6 to 7 Firmware

Hi all,
Ive been a fair while out of flashing ROMs since Note 4 Edge / HTC M7 and have today unlocked bootloader and rooted my P9.
It is currently Australian Vodafone release EVA-L09CC346B160 (Android 6) but I want Nougat.
There is no local carrier updates available but I understand that there is Android 7 available in Australia on 'international' branded handsets.
How can I identify what this firmware is for international Nougat? Can some one assist me. Or can someone advise what would be a suitable equivalent firmware that I can use in place of.
I am unsure how this device goes in flashing ROMs of higher or lower android versions on the current firmware and dont really want to brick it.
Thanks for any tips / suggestions

Umm, just found a thread mentioning L09C636B361 - will check this out, but is there any more recent? And still how does fl;ashing other premade ROMs on 7 go on top of the current Android 6 firmware go?.. Ta

using this guide you can update to the latest nougat release

Thank yuo Xtcislove
I have completed the steps suggested and now have Nougat. Though it is a newer version being .383 which was updated via OTA to .378 and then zip to .383.
Thank you for the help

I'm trying to flash firmware on my P9, now I have EVA-L09C40B181, but it stuck on 5% and HiSuite shows Recovery failed! I tried custom firmware, same problem. What can I do ?

Dfani511 - just follow the instructions in the thread provided by Xtcislove, it works but took me a long time.
I found the steps concerning the update to be added in dload was a little not clear, in the update zip that's downloaded, you need to open it until you get the dload folder, extract that and copy to the SD card.
Throughout my updating, o never ended up on the firmware you have

This N seems to be working fine, nicer looking.
I do have 1 issue, no matter what I do I can not get root to work. I'm on .383, can this one be rooted or not currently? If it can, how do I root .383? I have TWRP 3.1.0.3 as current recovery..
Or, is that ok to flash on my current P9 L09C432B383 ? from this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-pre-rooted-boot-img-p9-nougat-b378-t3574548
The stock and pre-rooted boot.img states its form .378 but would it be ok on .383?
I dont know how to get root on it currently...

This is what I did to root my Huawei P9 on Nougat L09C432B383:
Use the SuperSU-v.27.9-201612051815EMUI5.0.zip file flash via custom recovery and it should root your device no problem.

Hey xtcislove - is there a preferred version? 1, 2 or 3 do you recommend? Thanks mate

EDIT - Nevermind, Xtcislove, your the best man, appreciate your help with your guides etc. I went with option 1 and the handset is now rooted on Nougat. Thanks so much

3 is the version i preffer, you cant freeze apps with v1 but most things should work fine.
btw you can flash v3 over v1.

Ive flashed v3 over 1 and all appears good, root working fine. Thanks again.
Though I have noticed on both v1 and v3 that SuperSU binary needs to be updated, ob both v1 and v3. The phone fails to update both, states unsuccessful and to reboot, which also does not update the binary.
Only other thing I have done is to get BusyBox.
What can be done about the failing binary update? Will it be fine to leave as is, just getting rid of the prompt when it appears, or does it really need to have the update done sometime?
