[Q] Custom ROM + Fully Rooted. - Huawei Ascend P7

Hey,
I would like some help from you guys.
It's been a while since I put a custom rom on my previous phone.
So if possible I would like a comprehensive explanation.
Right now I have Emui 3.1 installed on my P7 L10.
I would like to install a custom rom but I'm not sure I got my bootloader unlocked.
If possible I would like to know how to unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom with full root.
I did some research already on the internet but all the explanations are so short.
The rom I want to have installed on my P7 L10 is the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/development/rom-rom-v3-1-emui-3-0-t2977409
I hope someone want to help me with this.
Greetings,

I'm afraid you will not be able to install that rom, since it is meant for emui 3.0 not 3.1
The only working custom ROM for lollipop is the Miui rom and that's it. All the other Roms are based on kitkat.

Isn't it possible to downgrade from 3.1 to 3.0?
And even if my bootloader is locked to 2.3??

It is possible and there are many guides out there which tell you how to unlock your bootloader. Just don't try to flash that rom while on lollipop.

I know, but I think the guides are not detailed enough of the download links are not working.

Just ignore that it says b805, because it works with all of lollipop firmwares.

Which version to install? JBBL or Normal?

hi guys,
i don't know which version to install in my atrix HD, i got a Cyanogen M7 at the moment installed on it. I've read that's about the bootloader i have, but i don't know how to check it. Can you help me?
You probably have the JB bootloader as the only other bootloader is ICS and I don't think M7 will run on an ICS bootloader.
well... i'm not sure, but when i bought the atrix it was running JB 4.1.1 .... so i suppose i'm an idiot LOL
so... ehmmmm whenever i don't have a JB bootloader, what hapens if i try to flash a JBBL rom?
Many older ROMs will run on newer bootloaders. If you don't have the correct bootloader for the ROM, the install will fail with an assert error.
You have the jellybean bootloader bro
thanks guys!

ALL AHDs have the JB BL b/c we have not been upgraded to KK yet.
If you want an updated version of CM on your device, you need the ones built for JB bootloader: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960_jbbl

Root and Cyanogenmod

Hi all! I recently got a Huawei P9 vodafone branded (L09C02B123) and I am very happy with it. I wanted to ask if there is a safe unlock bootloader and root guide for this version or do I have to de-brand it? And if I wanted to unroot the device can I go back to the vodafone version as it first was? And since I don't like the MIUI software (the only downside) when will the CM 13 roll out to the device?
Thanks

Hi.
Please download the SRK Tool. It can do almost anything you need on your phone.
Wrt the custom ROM, you asked, unfortunately we only have one custom ROM and one slim ROM atm.
What i did was, root, debloat the ROM myself, flash a 3rd party launcher, and flash the L Speed app from Play store.

Thanks for the answer. Your method is smart but do you know when Cyanogenmod will be launched?

Cyanogen Mode is quite different from stock version of the p9 software or variants of it. Drivers would be a great issue in that way. Since the Kirin 955 processor is relatively new and not as common as Quallcom's Snapdragon, there would be a long long way to see a Cyanogenmod for our p9s.
However it is a job for ambition and determination. So, who knows maybe one of the great developers around will take a step forward
Hi guys again, I remember I am running the EVA-L09C02B123 which is a vodafone branded version. Can I root this version? I heard that you need to de-brand it first. Is it true?
You can root it without de-branding but you must unlock the bootloader first. That's going to trigger a factory reset, so back up your stuff.

How did you fix it and which version ur running...plz I need help
I just got my phone, a VKY-L09 and its running B195 ...
I only seem to see B123 to latest B160 in stock firmware available.
I even tried using the aforementioned firmware finder.
Further, it seems that most of the roms (custom or otherwise) are biased on firmware many versions older.
I really want to root my phone but without a stock solution to flash I'm reluctant to do so.
Anyone have B195 stock or know where to find it?

It's because we're using the Canadian ( and probably be American) variant. Our build number is higher, but European builds are better. Try anything that's L09 B160, battery should improve

Thanks, I took your advice and downloaded a B162 build as a stock solution.
Took the plunge and my phone is now TWRP - Rooted with some small tweaks.

I highly recommend the Genesis ROM by @Blackball , it's really great.
It's what I'm using for now until I can get a working AOSP build created. Hopefully soon, I've been making progress

It seems I screwed up my data partition in my system and cant get the phone to make calls or the camera to work. Not even my backups get things working again.
Was thinking that If I need to flash stock or redo my phone fm scratch, may as well flash Genesis.
Can I just format data, wipe everything and flash the rom even on 192 base?
Or do I have to de-brand and install the 160 base to flash Genesis rom?

You can but he recommends rebranding to European L29. If I still had any FunkyHuawei credits left I'd hook you up but I've already used them

Thanks for the offer.
I tried to install it without re-branding and everything works except themes and phone info is messed up but other then that, everything seems as advertised. Thanks again for your advice and good luck with your AOSP build!

Bootloader unlock on Pie?

Hey everyone, I know it's probably too soon, but do we know yet if the bootloader can be unlocked after an Exynos N950F is upgraded to Pie through the official OTA update? What I want to know is: If I let this update happen, will I be unable to unlock and do custom roms after? Is it better to unlock while on Oreo and then update via custom roms only, etc.?
I haven't unlocked my Note 8 yet (only had it 1.5 months), but I want to keep my option to do so open.
Thanks.

may be u should first root by stock kernal which is rooted flashing
Exynos varianst do not have a locked bootloader, never have.
You need OEM Unlock ticked in Developer options to be able to flash non-standard stuff. Once you load TWRP, and flash the stuff you want, as long as it has the RMM cleaning integrated, you'll be fine.
Many devs deliver bootloader/modem packages with the rom, mostly as a side package. Even if you came from Nougat, after flashing the bootloader/modem first, you'd be fine flashing the custom pie stuff after.

What do you mean ?
It's the case for all ROMs and all phones
i mean instead of flashing an android rom, to flash a linux rom.
but when you say its the same trouble with bootloader unlocking, then its senseless
