So I wanted to root my phone, and i figured out that it is impossible to root my phone without unlocking the bootloader, but I don't really want to loose my data, so I want to know if it is possible to do it without loosing any data?
nope
You cannot. Once you unlock the bootloader, it will reset everything. Have a backup through hi suites, or inbuilt backup app on usb/sd card etc.
Copy the images, WhatsApp images,picture folder, hwthemes folder manually if downloaded themese, WhatsApp images are important. DCIM full folder is your camera+fb images. And hisuites backup your app+data so no worries. It backup your contacts as well. Use sms and call log backup app to backup sms and call logs.
However story ia different when you are rooted. You can just use titanium backup for complete backup.
No way man.

Have you unlocked?
I'm currently installing Android SDK right now.
Now I am ready to unlock the bootloader, but is there any way to revert to factory settings if something goes wrong? Like a original ROM or Firmware download?

theres always way to go as long as you dont delete stuff youre not supposed to delete.
So I am ready to unlock the bootloader, but wanted to know, is there any way to revert to the original system after doing this, or after installing twrp?

After unlocking bootloader, install twrp. Have full backup backup backup...then do whatever you wish to.
Ok. I have viewed a guide on how to root the phone, and it said that there is no download for the original update.app file for Huawei eRecovery. Also is there any way to backup to computer using twrp, because im not sure i will be able to store the backup file on my local storage.

extract update.app from firmware, when you got twrp installed all your data is gone already. just follow guide and you'll be fine.
But how do I extract the update.app?

Just save the firmware zip to pc, sd card simple. You may need it when messed up..
For twrp, refer the guide properly and files in my signature for honor 5C repository.

Since late November of last year my N900A has been running stock OS (Android 4.3) but is rooted via RDLV and soon after did the OTA update to MJ5.
I would like to start experimenting with Xposed modules but I would like to make a complete backup of my device just in case something goes wrong. Since our bootloader is still locked and and we cannot install Clockworkmod Recovery or TeamWin Recovery Project, what are my other options?
Thank you in advance.

Do you know if this is useful for stock ROM? Let's say I'm playing around with risky apps, before I use them, I could make a backup with Safestrap?
I'm a little confused about with all the custom ROM speak in the developers thread

according to a search in Google its not possible to be retail and have a demo because its 2 different ROMS.
you can use TWRP to wipe everything Data, Dalvik and System.
Then use the backup.
This are tips so please use at your own risk.

dont know what to say to that, however, you can try this:

install framework (use flash mode) and look for module BootManager. You can choose witch apps will run at system start. Disable demo app.

Hi Guys,
I need a bit of help with my Huawei P9 Plus, which I purchased here in UK Vodafone.
The original firmware on the phone was VIE-L09C02B127.
However I had applied VIE-C900B103 - from one of the guides in this forum and I forgot to backup my oeminfo and custom files, does this mean that they are the still the original files for VIE-L09C02B127 ?
Also can someone help in getting my phone back to VIE-L09C02B128 please. I have got the firmware L09C02B128 from a German site, can someone here able to check it and confirm if it this the same as the UK one ?
I can upload the firmware if someone can tell me how to ?
Thanks in advanced,
Bashy
I would appreciate it if you could upload it thanks (been waiting for B128 in SA and it just doesnt arrive due to our useless carriers), think you can put it in Google drive, Dropbox, Mega etc and then just share the link, thats probably the easiest.
In terms of flashing you need to unroot (via SuperSU) then install stock recovery (if you have twrp installed), then see http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-...ei-p9-plus-vie-l09-update-app-t3384951/page11 for installing.

So do I just copy the .app file onto my memory card and put it in the dload folder ?

Hi Bashy, cos you are unrooted your phone will only show new 128 if you install full 128 ROM, dont think you can install update (b128) over b103 and get update to B128 in build number.
Did you try the *#*#2846579#*#* this opens menu options- press "SDCard Upgrade" then "Ok" method (give it a try), I unzipped yr file (6 or 7 files inside) copied these all to the 'dload' folder I created on the ext SD Card, then used the *#*# ..... method to update, the update like yours was successful (completed and I see a bunch of new apps etc.) but I still see B127 in settings/about phone/build number... so not sure why build no. remains B127???
I think the best would be to somehow find the full B128 ROM and flash it or for the B128 update to be put into a flashable (twrp) zip, but because the P9Plus is so new these options not available yet, they will come but it will take a bit of time.
Hi Guys,
the ota update failed on my phone. SO it didn't install any apps just changed the version info so basically It says b128 and cant find any new updates..
I downloaded the b128 voda update from a german site.
How do I install it?
putting the ZIP file into the DL folder and copy the updater.app from it to the DL folder
or
Do I need to extract the contents of the ZIP as well?
Thank you!

you need to extract the files from the zip, should be 2 files (Update.app and Meta-info) you put those 2 in the dload folder and then use the *#*#.... (project menu to install), remember you must be on stock recovery and phone must not be rooted.

Hi mate,
So for the delay in responding back.
My phone was did not have the bootloader unlocked and nor it was rooted.
However I did try to root it to change the 2 files over. But I can't confirm 100% worked.
Only way I would know this these 2 files were correctly updated is to check. I am not sure how too, but if someone can show then this would be great.

Hi there,
I'm using a Huawei P9+ Vie-L29.
I was tempted to Root it and enjoy a new Rom, I only found RayGlobe ROM which gave access to some settings but was not maintained and were no other custom ROMS, so I went back to Stock and locked bootloader again.
After coming back to stock, the huawei Theme Manager says that is applying the theme but in reality it does not change anything.
I already did a full re flash of the VIE-L29C636B170 software, with no success.
Also tried a full phone reset with no success.
I have seen a forum from Mate 8 with EMUI4.1 with a similar problem and a solution that requires Root, but, since Im in stock now it does not apply for me any more.
Do you have any hint or suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, faced similar issue previously. You'll need to root your rom and copy some theme files to the system folder. Then your themes will work. It's like the default theme folders are not there in the system. After that, if you want to unroot, use SuperSU's unroot feature. Let me see if I can find the reference and the file links I found last time later to post it up.
@juanmre, following is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/solve-apply-themes-downloaded-t3318265
I think it is the same link you mentioned.
And yes, unfortunately you will need to root again to solve this theme issue. Then unroot after that.

It works well. I just need to extract the above to the hw folder in the dload folder together with the update.zip and everything works well during the update.

After rolling back from Android N beta version (which was draining my battery very fast), I faced the same problem with the themes.
So I gave this solution a try again and finally noticed that the "hw" folder is still within another "hw" folder, after fixing it, only one "hw" folder together with the "UPDATE.APP" file, everything worked and I'm able to change themes again. (by the way, it did make a fresh install again, so backup before if you want to try).

are there any HW folder for l29c185?
I downloaded and tried flashing this one but got an error at 5%.
LLD-AL00C00B172 (8.0.0.172),LLD-TL10C00B172 (8.0.0.172),LLD-AL10C00B172 (8.0.0.172)
Can someone tell me which version i correct for me?
Does it match your device model? Also what was the last firmware you had on the device?

I don't remember the last firmware but the device is LLD-AL10
I file I tried was the latest I could find on the website. I just tried another file, got the same error.
Your device might be a LLD-AL10 however the last 4 digits is important.
For example you have :-
LLD-AL10C00B172
LLD-AL10C01B171
The C bit is the important bit. Also make sure you download the FullOTA-MF file set.

Is there a way to check the C part from recovery or somewhere else?
I did download the Full OTA file btw.

Not sure as my phone hasn't been unlocked or twrp'd. However if its like the LLD-L31C432 then your best bet might be to try LLD-AL10C00B163 as on mine i can't install LLD-L31C432B132 however i was able to install LLD-L31C432B130 or LLD-L31C432B131.
Its worth a shot. Links in code area

Holy ****! this worked with HuR tool. But the only problem is, its a chinese ROM, without play store. If you tell me what those 3 files were, i'll download the Indian version and flash it. Thanks a lot though
From what i understand its the following
1) Format an SDcard and Create a folder called dload in the sdcard.
2) Extract the contents of update.zip to the dload folder.
3) Place the SDCard in the phone.
4) Press and Hold VOL up VOL Down then the power button.

Wow, it worked for me too.
But, how can I install apps with no browser, file manager or play store?

There is no play store on that Chinese rom, either flash a different stock rom or a custom rom.

I flashed that ROM too. But apart from Volte issue, I am not able to access google even after flashing OpenGAPPS. Currently, I am making it work with a VPN but is there a permanent solution?
