Rooting and Unroot Huawei P8 GRA-xxx Marshmallow (Android 6) [All Stock-Firmwares with EMUI4.0.1]
For newer Firmwares use following Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75460388&postcount=323
Note: DONT FLASH SUPERSU OVER EXISTING ROOT - SINCE SUPERSU 2.82 IT IS REQUIRED TO UNROOT YOUR PHONE BEFORE USING NEWER VERSION!
SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-permissive.zip by Tecalote: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754458671 MD5: b168a88bc815d3fac521ace97402a949
It enables init.d and SELinux Permissive (required for installing several mods like Viper4Android etc...)
NEW TWRP released by @AD2076 : https://eu.dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img.html
This new method should work on all types of GRA (GRA-L09-TL00-CL00-UL00-UL10-TL10-CL10) for newer Firmwares from 2017 on!
For Unroot you can do it directly from SuperSU App - with restoring the boot.img (SuperSU App ask you, answer with YES) - or alternative you can flash UnSU Script with TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
If you flash unsu script - you must restore your original unmodified boot.img from TWRP Backup! This make sure you can boot straight to system after Unroot.
If you flash instead boot.img extracted from update.app you cannot boot to system before installing EMUI Recovery and doing Factoryreset.
But it is possible to Root your Phone directly after flashing boot.img to BOOT
Restoring boot.img is required after Unroot in every case! A) If you like to stay unrooted and B) if you want to Root with new Version of SuperSU. If you want Root with new SuperSU, you must restore original boot.img. After you have restored it from TWRP Backup or flashed it with adb in Fastboot Mode, you can Root directly after restoring without boot to system before.
If you cannot restore boot.img, because you have no TWRP Backup from Boot, you can download the Firmware for your build Number (Settings/About Phone) from here:
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GRA&firmware_page=0
With following Tool you can extract boot.img from UPDATE.APP - Huawei Update Extractor: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Unlocked Bootloader required
Unlocked Bootloader:
If your Bootloader is locked install the App Huawei-ID on your Phone. On newer Firmwares, the Huawei-ID App is already preinstalled.
But anyway update it to this version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224383206
After you must visit website for login and requesting the unlock-code. Visit: http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download and click: Unlock Bootloader.
Make an Account or Login with your Huawei-ID, click again: Unlock Bootloader. Fill out form - you can find all information in Settings "About the Phone" and "Status" - for the Product-ID use dialer ( *#*#1357946#*#* ). Submit information and you receive the Unlock Code.
- On your phone activate the developer options (Settings "About the phone" press several times consecutively the "Build-Number")
- In developer options activate "USB-Debugging"
- In Settings "Security" activate "Unknown Sources" and HiSuite HDB accept
- install the latest HiSuite (from Huawei) on your PC - Download: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html
- start HiSuite and connect your Phone with the USB-Cable with your PC. You will receive a fingerprint question on your Phone, acitvate "Always" and "Yes"
- accept also the installing of HiSuite on your Phone. As soon the drivers are installed and your phone is succesful connected, close HiSuite (even in the background).
- unzipp "Minimal ADB + Fastboot", install it on your PC - Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224386526
- (the path will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) - after open the Program as Administrator
- tap: adb devices (your device must listed with ID)
- tap: adb reboot bootloader (Phone restart in Fastboot-Mode) You will see, your bootloader is locked
- wait until PC installs additional drivers, after:
- tap: fastboot devices (your device must listed with ID)
- tap: fastboot oem unlock YOUR16DIGITCODE (which you have received from Huawei) - after unlock tap: fastboot reboot
If you have problems to execute fastboot-commands and you see just: "Waiting for any devices" - or if you have trouble with hardware-buttons read following information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69440645&postcount=129
Old methods (2016) - not reccomended for newer Firmwares (2017..)
It is no more possible to Root Huawei Firmware up to EMUI 4.01 with newer Versions of SuperSU (current stable 2.78) neither with the Force Systemless Command! Dont try it, because SuperSU will destroy the original boot.img of the Firmware - See Screenshot 1. You can flash the zip but your phone would not boot and staying on the Rescue-Screen of the Bootloader.... That´s why I maked this Thread!
All methods updated 13.10.2016 - everything works now! .
For systemless rooting (like my method A) you can also use the SRKToolHuawei 2.0 by @somboons

Before you going to root your phone make a full Nandroid Backup (all shown Partitions) with TWRP - if something goes wrong you can restore your backup.
Thread for German Speakers GRA-L09: http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/huawei-p8-b380-root-anleitung.797464/

- press the Vol+ button first (staying on Vol+) and simultaneously press the Power Button
- wait until the phone reboot - in the moment you see the Huawei Logo skip pressing the Power Button but stay on Vol+ until you are succesfully bootet to TWRP
- TWRP ask you by the first start for root access "Allow to modify system partion" - swype to confirm "yes"
- go to button "Backup", select your external Storage and make a complete Nandroid Backup of all shown partititions
- after you can Root your Phone now - see description
Note: If you make something wrong booting first time to TWRP and the Phone reboot to system instead of TWRP, Stock-Recovery will be reflashed and you must flash TWRP again with ADB
A) Rooting in systemless Mode (by maintaining the original Stock-Kernel)
Note: This kind of rooting your phone is for for normal use (Root-Explorer, Root-Apps) but not for Hardliner-Mods
Your TWRP should always have write permissions, if it ask you swype to confirm this! If it don`t have, you can enable this in the Mount button (disable system partition read only)
1.) Download SuperSU with your Browser (not with Downloadmanager) 2.67: https://download.chainfire.eu/897/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip?retrieve_file=1
- or download the file from the attached file below in OP and place SuperSU 2.67 on the external SD
2.) Boot to TWRP and make a complete Nandroid Backup first (if you dont have it already)

6.) Swype to confirm flash - after use: Reboot
7.) If TWRP ask you for Root - "Your device does not appear to be rooted - Install SuperSU now?" - NO - use: DO NOT INSTALL Button!
Older Versions of TWRP ask you this - the newest TWRP 3.0.2 dont.
8.) P8 reboots now 2 times and rebooted finaly to system.
9.) Open the SuperSU App (it will be on an empty site of your home) - you have now systemless Root
10.) Open Playstore an Update the SuperSU and after say yes to Update the Binary.
11.) The Phone must be restarted and you are up-do-date with the Root.
Uninstall this kind of Root:
If you want to unroot your Phone and you have used method A, do following:

10) Reboot your Phone - Root is uninstalled
After you have rooted your phone - it is recommended to flash Busybox in TWRP:
I always prefere BusyBox YDS by YashdSaraf for Huawei P8. This busybox recognizes which kind of Root and architecture you have and it will install to in the right directory. It uses also arm64 Binarys - just flash it after Rooting and first boot to system with TWRP.
You can find the Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tool-busybox-flashable-archs-t3348543
Use in Download Section the Universal zip or the ARM zip (it conains arm64).

Sorry for my late answer. I saw your message just right now. GRA-UL10 is Chinese Unicom Dual 4G model, with Kirin 935 chipset and 64GB ROM. Which firmware version do you have? The Root Method A should work without problem. Be sure you make before rooting a complete Nandroid Backup. If something goes wrong you can reboot to TWRP with hardware keys and restore system, data and boot. So nothing bad could happened.
The Methods B and C needs to flash the Custom Kernel, I don't know if it works with GRA-UL10. But with a Full TWRP Nandroid Backup you can try... Please let me know if it works for you
Info:The TWRP should work with GRA-UL10 without problems - or do you have another one working for marshmallow? If yes, please post. Thanks
Result without success
Hi, thanks for your post. I tried with the first option with SYSTEMLESS and STOCK Kernel. Everything worked as you described but after I tried to reboot the phone was dead. I had to reinstall the B370 update I had in /dload folder. I followed very carefully your instructions step by step.
First successful rooted boot, I updated SuperSu with the binary option and rebooted without problems. But one hour after I tried to reboot the phone manually and then the problem appeared.
My phone is working now but I don't know how to make this permanent. Do you have any idea?
Ps: attached screenshot of my current build
Thanks again!

Did you have a custom Rom before? I am wondering - normally the Model number shows Huawei GRA-L09 or GRA-UL00 and not GRACE. Grace is both http://consumer.huawei.com/tz/support/products/technicalspecs/grace-tz.htm?utm_source=Viber&utm_medium=Chat&utm_campaign=Private
So, which Model do you have? Please tell me.
You said you did it step by step with my instruction. I wrote several times to make a Backup of system, data and boot with TWRP. You had TWRP, otherwise you could not flash SuperSU. If the phone got a problem you could boot it to TWRP by holding vol+ and power key and restore the backup. No need to flash again the firmware. Didn't you make a TWRP Nandroid Backup?
The other thing I cannot understand is - normally it is absolutely necessary to flash back the Original Stock Recovery before doing any stock firmware update with dload. And it is also important to unroot. I am wondering if this was successful...
Which Rom (version) did you have before? Was your phone rooted before b370? Did you unroot before upgrade to this version? Did you make a full Wipe before upgrading or a factory reset? If you use b370 your model must be GRA-L09. Because the other models have not this version yet. (if my information is right)
I don't think the problem is the Root Method A.
If your Model is really a GRA-L09 I would recommend Root Method B or C with the custom Kernel. But if you use at the moment a Custom Rom instead of the stock firmware there would no need to root because having already root.
Something in the story is not conform but I need more information to get an idea what is the specific problem. Because I tested all three Versions without any problem...
No, I did not have a custom ROM. The GRACE model appeared as soon as I updated with an official B370 Europe. In fact I have my bootloader unlocked and I had to use this Model Name to get the unlock code from Huawei. Before doing the update I had GRA-L09.
Yes, I have a TWRP backup, I made it before rooting but I didn't use it because the only way to power on the device was either bootloader or recovery (Vol- & Power / Vol+ & Power)
When I tried recovery, Huawei's recovery appeared taking my update.app on /dload (didn't have any other option at that moment, the process started automatically). I didn't lose any data, the phone after the update started normally with all my settings exactly as it was before rooting, but this time SuperSU says the phone needs to be rooted.
For some reason TWRP is not installed anymore. If I try now, the Huawei Recovery starts. I currently have B370 same as before rooting. No full wipe before upgrading neither a factory reset.
I read that Huawei Stock recovery can rewrite your custom recovery, is that possible?
J.
Of course. After flashing the Recovery you must disconnect the USB cable from Phone and PC and boot manually with vol+ and power until you see the Huawei Logo. In that moment you must leave the power button but holding vol+ until the TWRP starts. This need a while. If you don't do this, Stock Recovery will be reflashed. Only the first boot to Twrp is important. After that TWRP will not be overwritten anymore. I am wondering about Model "Grace" I had b321a before and make the update with full firmware - after it shows me also GRA-L09 and not GRACE... Anyway. Sometimes things are strange. Okay. You must flash TWRP again and immediately after successful flashing manually boot to Twrp - but disconnect from PC!
Before all doing this be sure you have the Custom Kernel and SuperSU 2.76 on your SD. Flash first the Kernel and after SuperSU 2.76 - if you want systemless then with Force systemless Command before, if you want Root in System then without this command. And you will be happy and no more having problems with Root
The problem was, that you did not manually reboot to Twrp after flashing
@juanzete - Did you solve your problems now and Root is succesful? @lordcookies Did you try one of the root method for your GRA-UL00?
Tanks
Tanks a lot.It worked for me.(GRA-UL10):good:

Which one of the three Root method did you use? I would like to know, thanks
GRA-L09, method 3 works but root isn't systemless. I am trying to install systemless xposed but it fails because of system mode root... Any ideas?
Before you ask:
I flashed the custom kernel properly
/data/.supersu is present and contains SYSTEMLESS=true
I said NO to TWRP root offer

Hi, I made a new Kernel specifically for SuperSU 2.78 - you can download it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=109256
Before you try method 3 with the new Kernel and the Original SuperSU 2.78: https://download.chainfire.eu/1001/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip - you must Unroot your Phone and after install again. It should work.
I tested method 3 several times without any problems.

I am gonna try it. Of course I unrooted before trying.
The big problem is I have to completely unroot at every reboot if I wanna play that throw a ball to the monster game
On another device I have systemless root + systemless xposed + suhide and I can play with no problems.
Does this kernel have adb enabled?

If you have then succesful rooted and Xposed Framework installed you can try Module RootCloak

RootCloack doesn't bypass SafetyNet check, suhide does.
I can root successfully but there are problems because the root isn't really systemless and SafetyNet detects it even with suhide.
Furthermore systemless xposed fails to install and complains about the supersu version < 2.76.
Of course I used 2.78
Btw your kernel works but required some reboots to work properly. At first boot SIM was not detected and the system was very very laggy.
I am available for more testing
Which Firmware to you use? I have tested it on b370, but with SuperSU 2.76- I will try it again in the evening with 2.78
I cannot understand yet, why it dont root systemless with method 3.

I use B370 FF Edition from Blackball.
I just noticed I have an old twrp version: 2.8.7.0 by Jemmini. I am gonna upgrade and see if suhide works, it requires twrp > 3
B370 FF Edition is prerooted in Systemmode. I think, thats why the SuperSU Installer ignore perhaps the systemless command.
Dont know if there is a way to do it. May you ask Fromfuture in his Thread.
Or you install the Original Stock Version b370.
I used the completely unroot option in supersu before rooting systemless
What You'll Need:
The experimental firmware: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120704448 (Thanks @NavSad !)
My updated G900A RootPack: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U7vwyq4T4609SiUQz43zLXvYOu9Hqohb/view?usp=sharing
(Windows Defender may detect TowelRoot as an Android Malware Exploit, you may need to disable defender temporarily.)
If you want to downgrade to NCE/KitKat: The G900A_NCE.Zip file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ahpVGnG3bQ-mEoztN4XUvdbTOW64IdoT/view?usp=sharing
Get Ready:
You will need to extract the RootPack files and move the RootPack folder along with the G900A_Firmware.zip to an external SD and put it in your phone.
What To Do:
Step 1: Go back down!
Download the experimental firmware and extract the zip on your computer.
Open Odin3, select the AP slot, and specify the experimental firmware so you can flash it.
Under Options, Make sure only "AutoReboot" and "F. Time Reset" are selected.
FLASH
Step 2: Our Old Friend
After the OS is installed, go to the file manager and install Flashfire, SuperSU, TowelRoot, BusyBox, and SafeStrap.
Run towelroot. Simply hit "make it ra1n" and 3 seconds later you'll have the root binaries installed.
Now open the SuperSU app and hit "continue", let it do its thing and then update the SU binaries (you don't have to reboot)
Step 3. Where to go?
You now need to determine where you want to go?
You can downgrade to NCE or upgrade to OF3

Marshmallow
---Working on a method---
(Won't stop until I have every update rooted.)
Marshmallow is currently unrootable on the G900A and G900V (CID 11). A method will likely appear in the future.
It is safe for you to flash to the latest Marshmallow, you will be able to restore the experimental combination to root again.
Notes: This guide is an updated version of AptLogic's Guide. ( Can a mod please sticky that thread )
I have created this thread as an "elimination of confusion"/"Catch All" and I will update the thread once I get root on Marshmallow , https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/guide-merry-christmas-heres-t3516196.
Thank you to AptLogic and everyone involved in the development of root for this device.

Thank you !!! This worked great!
It has not worked for me or something I did wrong
please help me
Since I can downgrade my S5 to kitkat does that mean that I can use the CyanogenMod build for kitkat on the s5 or will it brick my phone ?
First off, thank you so much for this guide! I recently got an old Galaxy S5 from my Dad, and rolled it back to KitKat using these instructions.
I'm experiencing two rather strange issues, though.
1) KitKat doesn't seem to be remembering my Wi-Fi password. I'm having to re-enter it every time I reboot the phone.
2) I'm getting a message on booting that "Safestrap is disabled. System will start in 10 seconds." The system starts like it should, but this message pops up every time. Is this normal, or will something correct it?
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!
The Google Drive links are dead. Could we get new ones please @Justin1198?
Thanks in advance!
