If you received the OTA firmware update like I did, you probably loss root access and it's now very hard to re-root. This is because Samsung updated the Knox partition and also the firmware.
What does this means?
Even if you flash an older version of your firmware, Knox partition will remain the same and you still won't have root access.
NOTICE: Root might be easy for some, but Xposed is really tricky to install on this device. Please backup all your files from your internal storage because there are minor chances your device might go into a boot loop, meaning you WILL have to flash a firmware again, this DOES NOT means you need to wipe your device, but it's always better to be prepared for the worst.
If you have no problem installing Xposed on your E7, this post is not for you! This is only if you received the OTA update!
1. ROOTING YOUR PHONE
- Install Kingo Root on your computer and follow the step by step instructions, just make sure to enable USB debugging from the developer options on your device and click accept when prompted to connect with your computer. You will have to wait from 5 to 20 minutes for the software to try multiple ways to root your device, sometimes it is really fast and sometimes it takes a while, it really depends on your firmware so if you fail to gain root access just go ahead and try another firmware from Sammobile. I use E700HXXU1AOAC_E700HUUB1AOAC_TPA and works really well, this is the firmware for Panama and it's NOT the newest one, however it has worked quite well for me. // CF Auto-Root used to worked before, however, after the update it is no longer working on this device :crying:
NOTICE: Disabling Knox voids your warranty and removes a very cool feature from your phone. Without Knox, anyone can steal your device and become its new owner. Why? Well, Knox links your device to your account only, no one else can use it unless having your user and password from Samsung, even after a full factory reset! So please keep this in mind, I'm willing to sacrifice this because I love Xposed.
2. DISABLING KNOX
- Now that you have Root Access, you need to install SuperSU to disable KNOX. Just go to the play store, download SuperSU, open it and grant root access to it using Kingo Root. You should now be prompted to Disable Knox and obviously you have to accept that!
3. OPTIONAL - Removing Kingo
- Download Titanium Backup from the Play Store so that you can remove your old Kingo User app... you won't need it anymore because you now have SuperSU. You can also uninstall Kingo App :good:
That's it! Rooted and without KNOX you can now install Xposed with no problems! No need for custom recoveries, just follow the classical procedure.
If you need help installing Xposed now that your device is properly rooted and without Knox, make sure to visit the other posts for more details.

and delete the demo folder
now factory reset your device and now device will boot normally

Thank you all.
Without*
it is not possible
Try kingroot. I don't know if it works, but they have a large support list.
Kingroot not work.
So I just got the new version update ( I think it's 8.0 ). I download it through the "System Update" and then it requires me to restart to install the update. It then get to the installation but when it gets to 1% I get an error: "Software Install Failed". I then boot my phone back and it requires me to download the whole update again ( 0.95 GB ) every damn time. I already tried updating 3 times but it still fails at 1%.
Are you rooted or did you modified something else?
If yes, remove the root completely with the tutorials of your root method (the root makers always releasing a tutorial how to remove) and relock your bootloader again (WARNING: FACTORY RESET!!!).
After this, you should be able to install the update.

Nope no root or any modification, I still have my warranty
Then use your warranty
Anything the XDA community can help you will cause that you need to unlock your bootloader - without unlocking, there's no solution without official Huawei methods.

Okay thank you for the help!
The only thing you really can do is a factory reset - this is also the only thing you can do without losing any warranty. And this is also the only thing the Huawei support will tell you to do.

Thing is I have plenty of data and I don't want to bet it unless it's 100% going to work
What about "Firmware Finder"?

You can try it with their DNS services, but if the firmware Huawei is providing you won't install, it can also be a problem with your phone.
And there's no 100% safety that you won't lose all your data.
If you send the phone to Huawei you'll also lose everything.

yes my one is modified and i don't know how to remove the modification.
Then you need to do a factory reset if you want to remove your modifications.
I used to use samsung before my p20 pro.
I did root my phone, and removed some unwanted system applications.
So, i did have a better battery life.
But, now, i have p20 pro.
I have 161 firmware on my phone.
I would like to unlock bootloader and root my phone..
But, they say that structure in huawei, is not same with samsung.
And it is not good to root system and remove system applications.
Phone becomes very unstable. And useless.
Do you agree?
If not, what is the benefits of rooting p20 pro then?
Thanks...

I dont know about your first question i want some answer too. But i do know the advantages of rooting could be , like Netcut to cut devices from your network, or lucky patcher, or even modify your kernel. Plus if you talk above about the BL then the advantage is to flash a custom rom for example. I think there are not many custom roms for Huawei devices. I had s8 and s9+ and movedw to Huawei because i love to change phones and wanted to see those three cameras.
You will have to have an unlocked bootloader first and to do so you'll now need to pay for a service as Huawei don't provide unlock codes anymore. The benefits are all the same with rooting any android device, it just boils down to what you need it for. I'm currently on the ".163" firmware and have root, but that being said I unlocked my bootloader back when Huawei provided codes. It's really just if you REALLY need root.

If you're talking about the bootloader, I obtained an unlock code via the Huawei website, but they no longer do that. You can find the services to do so in the P20 Pro forums.
Thank you very much for your answers.
There will be no problem if delete some applications after rooting?
I heard that deleting system applications would cause unstable system in huawei.
It's structure is different from samsung.
Paid unlocking bootloader service
Do you know any unlocking bootloader service which i can pay with credit card.
Cause i can not use paypal...
I have to make payment with credit card

You can uninstall anything without root just by using adb. Even system apps

I don't think you need a PayPal account as you can checkout as guest and just use your credit card.

samsung and huawei phones are the same, in that if you remove the "wrong" app, it can make your phone unstable. some apps can very safely be uninstalled, while other apps (from samsung, huawei, or google or other vendor) will may constantly show force closed or error messages. a hard reset always takes care of the problem though
