Rooting marshmallow b550

First of all i have to say im really glad i got this phone over samsung galaxy J5.
Secondly...for the people who does not know how to root Marshmallow latest version im gonna use some resources i found over the internet.
Step by step if you dont have marshmallow install all the firmwares till you you get B170. Remember you have to be on stock recovery all the time
Then download the B550 from [Official huawei P8 lite marshmallow firmware]
and update your firmware.
Now its time for root...
1. Download this archive <MOD EDIT - Warez Link Removed> and unrar
2. Connect your phone to PC(make sure USB Debugging is checked in developer options) run Install.bat file and follow the instructions. This will install TWRP Recovery for 6.0
3. Copy files zip 1 and zip 2 to internal memory or SD Card
4. Reboot into TWRP (volume+ and volume- and power on button at the same time until TWRP appears.
5. Install zip 1 and reboot.
6. Open once SuperSU then close SuperSU and uninstall it!!(push supersu icon and move to recycle bin)
7. Boot again into TWRP and install zip 2 and then reboot
8. Install root browser from google play ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details? id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree&hl=en )open and grant superuser rights.
9. Now open /device/data/app and locate folder eu.chainfire.supersu-1 cut and paste in folder /device/system/app with following rights rwx r-x r-x

Hi vampirian,
TWRP couldn't be installed.
I got TWRP installation failure error. ( please see attached screenshot )
p8lite boot loader is unlocked with firmware is ALE-L21C185B524
( I use Window 10 with UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi installed )
Any suggestion please,
.

I would suggest you to update on B550 before you start the procedure. It will still show B524 build but its updated anyway on the last version B550.
Please make sure you have Chipset HiSilicon Kirin 620
and use the ROOT.Android.6.0.P8.Lite to install the TWRP.
For me it seems like a driver problem or not unlocked bootloader.
Try by unlocking your bootloader again
Unlock boot loader on your device.
Type in command without quotes "fastboot devices"
If you can see serial number of your phone you are going the right way.
In the command prompt, enter fastboot oem unlock (bootloader unlocking code) , e.g. fastboot oem unlock 321321321321321”
if that didnt work then make sure your drivers are installed correctly
Re-Start windows with Driver signature off and re-apply your drivers. To do this on windows you have to go All settings--> update and recovery---->Recovery----->Advanced startup---->>restart now and after booting your windows in the blue screen, choose Driver signature OFF option. Then reinstall your drivers and restart your phone on fastboot mode (power on and volume - at the same time ) and run the script again.

I tried this a few mins ago on my brand new BL unlocked P8 Lite, i already installed TWRP and 6.0 Beta for Single Sim model, and

great news
im glad it works for you as well

The two variant , i mean ALE-L21 single or double sim have exactly the sames hardware.
The difference between the Two variant for single/double sim is only in the firmware you push in your devices.
(I have Two branded single variant and i use the firmware for single and double without any trouble.i only think the single sim firmware is more battery friendly but just a personal opinion)

So far im satisfied for its battery. Ok everyone knows that Facebook and messenger are battery killers...but even with those running, MP3 all day long... my battery lasts for a day on dual sim with the smart battery mode. In any case i will try to update the official B550 spanish version to check the differences (and modify a bit our kernel) .

im glad my friend that everything works fine

Had to unlock bootloader and root after that my B550 and almost all the files were on their places (only few files changed place on launcher). Glad i didn't lose anything while unlocking bootloader (watching on you Oneplus)
---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------
Hmm... One little question. If i understand right. Balong bug should be shown on "Build Number". On me it shows that i have B550 as it should. But when i go to TWRP and backup. The backup pre-generated name says Balongxxxxx

Apparently that's normal its the build reference of the device nothing to worry about

well i managed to keep the original recovery last time and unroot my device and it worked just fine on updating through OTA. If something changed i dont know. All we have to do is to test it.

P9 Upgraded to Nougat Beta, cant go back and downgrade to stock rom.

Hello guys.
I recently upgraded from EVA-AL10C00B195 to Nougat Beta B322 It was probably for L29. But after upgrading, there isn't a camera app and google apps do not work. So decided to go back to stock MM rom but I cant install TWRP and root the phone. I have a full TWRP backup of the phone from before upgrade. Is there a TWRP for P9 on Nougat?
I don't mind the data on the phone, is there a way for me to go back to stock rom? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You need to grab a full marshmallow stock rom,unzip it to the dload folder on the external sd card(it should contain an update.app file).
Then hold down both volume keys and power button and it should reflash stock rom and bootloader.

I tried that with EVA-AL10C00B183 FULL rom.
At 5% it gives error:
Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
Would've been great if it worked this way. Anymore ideas?

It looks like you downloaded an update package and not a full rom

Hmm,Im not sure,it should work.
Try
1.Factory reset of the phone through the main menu and not through twrp.
2.Make sure you have the right rom in the dload folder on the external sd.
3.Make sure you don't have a dload folder and rom anywhere else like the internal memory of the phone.
4.If that fails try relocking the bootloader if it's unlocked and try again.
If that doesn't work then I don't know what it is,maybe try signing up for the beta and see if you can get another update which has a functioning keyboard.

Factory reset fails everytime. But when the phone boots up, the settings are reset. I don't have twrp after the nougat update.
The rom was in external sd inside dload folder.
There isn't a dload folder anywhere else apart from external sd that contains the stock rom linked.
I've unlocked the bootloader and it's the same result.
Where can i sign up for the beta? I don't think there will be beta for chinese AL10 rom.

Here you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/rollback-eva-l19-android-7-0-emui-5-0-t3496091

Thanks for the help guys but non of this worked for me. I kinda bricked it.
I went ahead and spent a lot of money on DC-Unlocker. It basically formatted the phone and flashed a small factory image. After that, the instruction said I needed to install a full stock firmware for the phone. After which I had to repair the IMEI and also had to get it SIM unlocked even though my phone was factory unlocked.
It costed me 15 euros for formatting and flashing factory firmware. Plus 8 euros to repair IMEI. Plus 4 euros to get SIM unlocked. Total: 27 euros! Now I am back to stock rom with everything stock and working.
Moral of the story, don't install nougat beta if it isn't for your phone. EVA-AL10 in my case. Just wait for your turn.

P9 eva-l19 (dual sim) and nougat update problems

I have tried several ways to install nougat to Huawei P9 dual sim, but it's almost impossible.
First i tried to install beta version, and it works ok but some apps are missing and keyboard is missing as well, it installs only google voice as a keyboard, so I restored it with Huawei rollback package.
Second, I tried debranding it so I can install some other version but I have similar issues. Here are my steps:
1. unlock bootloader
2. twrp recovery
3. root
4. change oem info and custom.bin, and this is where the problem starts.
After step number 4 the phone restarts and the letters during initial startup are red like system had been modified and after it goes to the part where it says "type password to decrypt storage". When I do that, it accepts the password (google) and says the phone storage is corrupted and I have to reset it, and then it resets the phone to default settings. After that I don't have root and no custom recovery. I tried this procedure several times and it's always the same. After the reset procedure, it installs some initial version (C900B136).
I finally gave up on that, and tried to get back to L19C432B161 but I have issues as well. First I had to restore my oem info and custom.bin so it accepts the C432 version, but after install some apps are gone and the theme manager is not working (it won't change icons or the wallpapers).
I tried using HiSuite to restore it back to stock but it won't accept the L19 version (only L09 and L29).
The tool I was using is SRK Tool Huawei 2.0, and I tried to follow procedure as described here on xda.
Any clues what I do wrong?

Well during this process I run into a bootloop and no recovery, so I unlock the bootloader, flash the stock recovery and then install stock firmware.
My phone is working now but it's not complete, some things are missing and not working properly so I am waiting some instructions what to do next. I really like Huawei phones but this firmware thing is a nightmare

Before you debrand, download the ROM of the cust you want to debrand to, place in dload folder on your sdcard. After step 4, your device will reset to factory, use sdcard ROM upload method and you will succesfully debrand your device. After that, if you debrand to L19C636B190 (for example), it will be OTA to L19C636B361.
My Al-10 was debranded and OTA successfully to L19C636B361 using this method.

Totally agree, once you are on nougat it really becomes hard to flash the firmware..till marshmallow, it was easier to control and flash the firmware..

How did you get the OTA? I got it right after dload B190 (which I didn't update it yet) then I didn't have it anymore 5 mins later
UPDATE: Somehow got the OTA when my dload update to B361 failed

What is going on with Huawei and software updates?

I have a SIM free UK P9. Early on in its life it received updates happily but I have still not received Nougat and I'm still on the September 2016 Security Patch from Google. I've never rooted or tampered with the device, so where are my updates? Are Huawei simply too busy with other phones to bother updating flagships from only last year?
It is unacceptable to me that a £450 device from a manufacturer purportedly looking to compete with the big guns in the premium phone space cannot be bothered to keep its older handsets up to date. How is a user supposed to put his trust in a company when they seem to forget about their older devices once newer ones are released onto the market?
Meanwhile a friend of mine with a SIM free Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (!) has June's security patches.
Small wonder people don't take Huawei seriously. This P9 is a lovely device with great battery life and is still (for my usage) an excellent handset; however I will not be buying another Huawei until I am confident that they are willing to maintain support for older devices. So far it seems that some people in different parts of the world on various carriers *do* get updates (or at least have more recent ones) but Huawei seem incapable of rolling them out consistently and across the board.
Disappointing.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this? I don't wish to put Huawei down too much as I think they bring some interesting things to the market but one of my biggest bugbears is where manufacturers forget that after-sales support and updates are some of the things that contribute to people's perception of a company. Might as well just buy Doogees and Vernees off Banggood without it.

Don't wait huawei to send update,use firmware finder from play store,or dload method,or hisuite method,all these methods are officially safe and keep your warranty. What your build number ?

Build number is EVA-L09C432B182.
I'm not really into flashing ROMs these days as i don't want to mess anything up. I don't want to flash firmware that isn't UK SIM free either, and if I haven't had that update OTA then I assume it simply hasn't been released.
I don't have a PC anyway as I sold my Surface Pro and now only have a MacBook.

Use firmware finder from play store,and firmware finder proxy,it is the easy way,only search for the rom u want and let your system update search for update by using proxy,if from MM to nougat u will not loose anything.

You'd have to guide me through that step by step as to be honest I don't entirely understand anything other than the bit about using something from the Play Store

OK so I worked this out. The only firmware it says is approved for my device is the next up on the list - EVAL09C432B330-LOG.
This downloads fine through the stock Huawei update menu (as if i am just doing a normal update) and the phone reboots but then the installation fails, whether I choose the full package or standard update option.

do you have a way to get the files from firmware finder onto your SD card? If so create a folder called DLOAD on the root directory and then put the update file in that folder. Power off the phone and hold all three buttons (power and vol+/-) until you get the firmware updating screen.
Let me know if it still fails.

Thanks. Will doing this cause any mismatches in future and stop me being able to receive OTA updates, or affect Android Pay?

I have put the update.zip in a folder called dload in the root of the SD but neither the boot method of installation nor the dialler method seems to find it. I've tried with a different update.zip with the same result

Who told u that??, incorrect my friend,extract the update.zip and put only update.app inside dlod folder in the root of your sd card,it is explain hunderds of time everywhere

Hi, this isn't all that clear in the other instructions I've read, and historically flashing update.zip from the root of an SD card is quite a typical way to flash software, so you can understand the confusion!
Are you sure this will work? Other threads online indicate that flashing is much more difficult than this and requires unlocking the bootloader. Am I missing something here?

I also tried this but failed on my phone. I put the update.app in the dload folder but always fails after about 14%

after you download the zip file and then unzip it. Put thr UPDATE.APP in the dload folder on your internal memory. and then perform the update.

Just to let you know, after downloading a bazillion files and trying every method under the sun I finally got this to work. It is now running B386 firmware.
Using the manual update method didn't work for me; the steps I had to follow are as follows:
With Firmware Finder, choose the B386 full OTA package - check for compatibility first (it said mine was compatible with it) and choose to install via proxy. Set up your WiFi to run the localhost/8080 proxy settings as instructed by FF. While the file is downloading, remove the proxy settings from your WiFi, allow it to reconnect and continue the download.
I then just left the phone to its own thing. I was actually watching a video in the background when it rebooted itself and began the installation process, which didn't fail as I expected it to.
Everything seems to be running fine now.
Thanks to the person in this thread who suggested using Firmware Finder.

How to rebrand any P10 Plus to vky-l29c432 (dual sim) for beginners

NB :
- Repacked the HWOTA8 files so you don't have to download stuff you don't need
- Added oeminfo files link
If this tutorial does not work for you, use the ****** tutorial, just Google it.
ONLY WORKS ON VKY MODELS!
I created this thread for people like me who found it difficult to follow the other tutorials, guaranteed to work from oreo to oreo.
This is a simple tutorial for beginners on how to rebrand vky-L09 to vky-l29c432
A. Files needed
1. Download the original vky-l29c432b360 firmware from the firmware finder website
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G2325/g1699/v120287/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...87/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip (Rename to update_data_public.zip)
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...l/VKY-L29_hw_eu/update_full_VKY-L29_hw_eu.zip (Rename to update_all_hw.zip)
2. Download the HWOTA8 repack package https://drive.google.com/open?id=12zXvow8pz8osj-XYMMfY5jRNyKQDFZNg
3. Download minimal adb and fastboot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
4. Download twrp from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850499350 (rename it to twrp.img)
5. Download the vky-l29c432 oeminfo files from https://forum.xda-developers.com/p1...32-oeminfo-t3590134/post71874883#post71874883
B. Tutorial
1. Get your bootloader unlock code using DC Unlocker or the Huawei official site.
2. Install minimal adb and fastboot, open it. Switch of your phone, press volume down and plug in USB to enter fastboot mode, while in fastboot type 'fastboot oem unlock your-unlock-password'
Something should pop up on your phone, press yes. The device will automatically restart and format. After that the bootloader is unlocked.
3. Enter fastboot mode again, move twrp.img to c:/ directory. After that type fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk c :/twrp.img. Everything should go through. After that you have flashed twrp custom recovery.
4. Enter twrp custom recovery by pressing volume up and power till you reach twrp recovery. While in twrp go to back up and back up oeminfo (2 times) on SD card.
5. Copy the 3 downloaded firmware files from the firmware finder website (update.zip, update_data_public. Zip and update_all_hw.zip) to HWOTA8 folder in MicoSD card.
6. Go to the downloaded HWOTA8 package and extract only (hwota8_update.zip and MHA_Recovery_NoCheck.img to the HWOTA8 folder on SD card.
7. Replace the oeminfo files from twrp > backup from SD card with oeminfo.emmc.win and oeminfo.emmc.win.wid5 from the vky-l29c432.
7. Go to twrp recovery again and go to restore to restore the new oeminfo files, after that go to wipe > advanced and wipe system only. After go to install and install hwota8_update.zip from. The HWOTA8 folder in SD card.
8. The phone should restart and install vky-l29c432 firmware
9. If it doesn't, unlock the bootloader again (if locked) and then flash twrp recovery again, then restore the oeminfo again then install hwota8_updatezip.zip from the HWOTA8 folder again, it will boot now and install vky-l29c432b360.
10. You're now done. Enjoy your rebranded vky-l29c432.

Thanks for the comment

Hi
New user and new to tinkering with Android but tech savvy (i think).
However i am stuck on part 6, the two files listed "hwota8_updatezip" & "mha_recovery_NoCheck.img" do not appear within the HWOTA8 package? Unless i am going completely mad?
Inside the HWOTA8 package i have update.zip, update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip (which are of course the same as the other 3 files you had us download).
Also i have a "vky_recovery_NoCheck.img" but not the mha one?
Sorry for newbie questions

So, it doesn't seem to work if you move the "HWOTA8 FILES REPACK" folder straight to your sd card. You actually have to rename/make a new folder named "HWOTA8". Found out the hard way.
So, the install fails at 6%. Any ideas?
I do have a VKY-AL00, chinese p10 plus, but it said for any. Restoring the oeminfo seems to work fine. Install also works, but fails at 6% every time.

I never said move the folder, read the tutorial properly

Did you wipe the system?

Help
Hi, I have a p10 plus with the Chinese version of ROM and would like to switch to the global version. Can I use the same procedure as this tutorial? Would you have some video explaining to facilitate the exchange?
Thank you

Hi friend.
I'm trying to rebrand and I followed all the instructions but, when the eRecovery screen shows up, nothing happens.
My second oeminfo backup file is .md5, not .sh2 like the one you shared to replace.
I'm on P10 Plus C636.
Thanks!

I do not have a video as I do not have an extra device, but I can guarantee you that everything works 100%

yes, I tried once wiping it only before the first install and once wiping it before each install attempt. TWRP also remains on my phone after the first install, only the bootloader is locked again. As soon as i unlock it, the phone boots to twrp. Do I need to wipe some other stuff too? I did try flashing a bunch of other stuff before I found your posts.

Hi,
I try since weeks to bring my Chinese P10 plus VKY-AL00C00B217 to the L29 Version and found now your

I want to make sure that I work with the correct tools, so i want to load all you recommend.
Thanks for your help!

HI, thanks for your great help.
When I try to install the "hwota8_update.zip" it gives me following info:
"Zip file is corrupt!
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/HWOTA8/hwota8_update.zip"
Is it correct that I copy the "MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img" file twice and rename it to "VTR_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img" and one to"VTR_RECOVERY2_NoCheck.img"?
I tried it several times?!
Any idea?
Thanks a lot
