I did not find a subforum dedicated to P9 lite mini version so I will post this guide here , as I know that many users that have this phone wish to have it rooted but don't know how.
I apologise to mods in advance if this is wrong place to post this.
Before I start, I will tell you that I am not a programmer and that I just followed a guide to the letter that @txmt5 told me about. So all credits go to him.
Lets start:
0. Make sure that your phone has USB DEBUGGING enabled.
1. a) You will need unlocked bootloader. There is simple official solution to get unlock code by huawei. Just go to their website , UNLOCK tab and follow instructions.
b) Once you get unlock code just use this simple tool by @Mandrigan. BE WARNED : use only unlock bootloader option as other options may brick your phone.
There is also an option to use cmd but I found this one easier to follow and it worked anyway.
Once you unlock your bootloader your phone will give you a warning about it before every boot. This is normal for every device just that some keep silent about it
2. Just install magisk app by @topjohnwu from here. As you do not have costum recovery (as far as I know it is still not developed for our device) you will not be able to root it as usual but it will require additional steps.
3. Get an original unpatched version for your frimware from here. It is really important that you find a right one. It will use the same code that is written in your "update info" in settings so it is easy to find.
4. From the update.zip file you hopefully downloaded in step before you will need to extract BOOT.img file.
To do this use huawei update extractor app by @worstenbrood. I personally use version 0.9.9.5 and extracted only BOOT.img .
It may look like it hangs on full green bar once you extract it. If it hangs for more than 5 minutes it is safe to cancel it and take the BOOT.img file it created. This happened to me and it worked anyways.
5. Put the BOOT.img file from previous step on your device and use magisk on it. It will create patched_boot.img that you will transfer back to your PC
6. Download adb fastboot tools (put patched_boot.img from previous step inside that folder) and HiSuite (just for huawei drivers)
7. Connect your phone to your PC and go to fastboot tools folder (from previous step) and shift+right click anywhere in that folder and take open CMD window here option.
The commands are as follows :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
after it reboots input
Code:
adb fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Your device should be rooted now
You will have root permission but you will not be able to use any other fancy magisk repo app as you do not have TWRP or other custom recovery. And there is really high chance that you will have to repeat this whole thing after every update (it is just my guess) .
I really hope that this guide will help someone
P.S. I wish to thank all people that I tagged and let them know that it was not my wish to spam them but to give them proper credit.

I am really glad that you find my guide helpful.
When you go to magisk->install you will need to patch boot file.
Since wedo not have custom recovery you need to provide a path (impossible)
to BOOT.img file so magisk can patch it.
So you just put boot.img you downloaded to phome or sd card and provide path to it

I don't understand!
I don't find any "Install" option. Since TWRP is not available for this device, how to proceed?
Can you give me more details?
Until now, I flashed a "ready to be flashed" pre-rooted kernel and I owned SuperUser rights.
Now I want to patch a self-made one. How can I do?

You just need to put BOOT.img file from step 4. anywhere on your device and use magisk on it.
really don't know how to tell it differently

What a dumb I am! I forgot to say you that the phone is offline. To understand better my issue, you can read here.
I never thought internet connection was necessary. For now, I have neither a data plan nor a wi-fi internet connection. Is there a way to solve?
Thanks for your patience

I got it now. All you have to do is not type adb fastboot and just type fastboot flash...
Also another problem that I'm having with rooting another p9 lite mini is that I can't get the bootloader unlock code from huawei anymore. Any solutions? Huawei seems to not want to give you the code anymore.

Hi, im new in this forum, i write this because my english is bad and i dont understand if i can root my blu with the v7.4.2 version. If os possible please send me the tutorial to make root on my phone.
Thanks a lot and excuse my bad english
I have the prime version 7.4.2 and I followed the Blu R1 HD v6.6 Dirtycowed F.U. Amazon Root and unlock guide. It worked perfectly fine on mine. Scroll down to post #5 and go to mrmazaks GitHub link and he has everything you need there

He has everything but instructions. How can I apply DIrtycow to my Blu r1 hd V7.4.2 Does anyone have instructions on how to do this?
The instructions are there in the readme file. https://github.com/mrmazakblu/DirtyCow-R1_HD is the webpage. If you go to the desktop version of the page you can click the "clone or download" button to download the zip file. If I recall correctly I just downloaded that, adb, fastboot and got the computer to recognize the phone and ran the one-click-root file. I was having trouble getting my laptop to recognize the phone and some other issues so I don't remember exactly what steps I did. Hope I've been some kind of help and remember, I'm not responsible for anything you do to your own property

I was able to run the one click root script from the site but all it got me was a slick, shiny version of V7.42. minus all of my apps of course. I ran the one click script twice to be sure both times all I got was a new version of 7.4.2. No root or anything else. Mine is the 8 meg version I wonder if that makes a difference?

Not sure if you got any further but I think you have to download SuperSU, copy it to SD card and install it from TWRP recovery
Hi, is my first time in android (moved from iOS) and buy this to test and learn. I have this version 7.4.2 and download (cloned) the repo from github? can anyone say to me the steps please? I'm so newbie and dont know how hard could be to root the phone

(Must have adb and fastboot setup and have phone drivers for either OS)
On Windows?
Unzip the downloaded file to a new folder, open new
folder and click on "dirty-cow-log.bat".
Do the steps in order (1-3-3-4) to be unlocked, then
Step (5) to get to second page where step (1) is root
The rest is optional
On Linux?
Unzip downloaded file to new folder folder .
Open folder. Then open R1-Linux-tool-v2 folder
Open terminal from that folder and type
" . R1-HD-TOOL.sh "
Same order of steps (1,2,3,4) step (5) for extra
Steps (1 on second menu) for superSU root.
Second menu steps (2,3,4,5,6,7,8) are optional.
Also there is now new thread for the "tool"

What carrier do u use & did u get latest OTA with T-Mobile band 12 VOLTE & extended range fix patch.
So I've successfully rooted my view 10 however the dev department is dead currently and there isn't a custom recovery so my question is can I use something like flashify to flash it because I've installed magisk manager but don't want to go any further until I'm sure.
If you've used some other root method you'd first have to remove that.
After that you can use the Magisk Manager to patch a copy of your device's boot image which you can then flash manually.
Check the release thread for more installation instructions, and the installation and troubleshooting guide for general tips and tricks.

Your device's forum is the place for that, but I saw you already asked. Let's hope you get an answer.
Judging from this thread it should be possible to use the Huawei Update Extractor to get the boot image.

Yeah I found a tool that is supposed to do it on here as well as an app that is supposed to download the firmware, however so far after looking at a YouTube video about how to use it I've apparently not either done it correctly or haven't found the correct file because I've not seen the images. It says I need to find the update.app which I haven't found. I'll try again this evening when I get off work

One way is to use this img from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...stock-b122-t3730660/post75393193#post75393193 the other is through the tool they provide.
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.

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

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!

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
explanation, unfortunately the link to the " HWOTA8 repack package" is empty.
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

Is any way to get OTA updates so that the root is preserved? Even if there TWRP will be broken, the main thing is to keep the root access.
Can i not downgrade my phone to android 7 and just unlock the bootloader? or is it necessary to downgrade it? i have nokia 5 android 8.1 btw..

I downgraded my android to 7.1, then unlocked the bootloader. Problem is how to run that twrp, i renamed it to recovery.img and copied it to the ADB file, is this correct? or should i just type the command "flash recovery recovery.img"? and after downloading the oreo update zip in the last part, in what file should i put it in?
thanks in advance to anyone who will reply

Hey noob, i did try it and it worked. Its a temporary unlock so everytime you will need to be doing it before flashing any thing.
Thanks for the reply ^^

I have a Nokia 5 TA-1044 Dual SIM with Android 8.1
Just in case you didnt know ive wrote this guide to help root your honor magic 2 model (TNY-AL00)
first you must have your bootloader unlocked and huawei does not give BL unlock codes anymore so youll have to get it from a third party source and they charge money for this service, i know it F**kin sucks but i havent found any workaround for this, i used funkyhuawei and it was 55 usd, they were quite quick with getting me the code and i cant use a phone without full control so it was worth it to me, ive heard of cheaper alternatives like ministry of solutions but i do not know the validity of this.
Second, you must find an update.zip firmware for TNY-AL00 which i could only find on easyfirmware.com which again they freaking charge money but look around you might be able to find free firmware someware, as far as i know at the time of this writing the huawei firmware finder app does not have the new models yet. Find this firmware and download to a pc "and yes you can use a lower version than the one your running as i used a .129 RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and my system is on .150 and i havent run into any problems as of yet"
Third, download huawei update extractor on pc run it and in settings make sure the first two boxes are unchecked. Open update.zip with the extractor and extract RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from it and transfer it to your phones storage
Fourth, magisk now supports emui 9 rooting but at the time of this writing its only available on the canary build,
To get to the canary version of magisk download and install magisk manager then ignore the install prompt magisk gives you when you run it and then go to settings and hit update channel and choose custom and paste this "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/canary.json" and restart magisk and itll ask you to update, update the manager then when it asks to install magisk.zip go to install and patch boot image " make sure magisk version is on 18.1 not 18.0" and patch the recover_ramdis file on your phone. The patched boot image will be in the download folder of your phone, use pc and transfer the patched boot image to desktop on pc
Fifth, download minimal fastboot and adb drivers to yor pc and run command prompt, connect phone to pc and and run phone in fastboot mode " press and hold volume up right after pluging in usb from pc to enter fastboot" in command prompt type fastboot devices and it should show some numbers which means it recognizes your phone, now type "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img" or just drag the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img into command prompt after typing up to recovery_ramdisk
Then type fastboot reboot and get your phone to power down, to have root you now have to hold volume up and power to boot. You have to do this every time if you want root. Your now rooted..........

Not yet. Seemed pretty risky...
Actually right now I'm just praying that my phone will continue working. Accidentally dropped it onto concrete from a great height tonight and it looks pretty roughed up...
If it continues to work maybe I'll tackle that in a few weeks.

You used the above method and had to pay? Or is there another "free" way?

That's unfortunate. Ny biggest reason for rooting would be to get better camera support. I dont suppose GCam works on this with a root? I don't see any ROM development for it either. Why did you decide to root?
Yes this is tryed and true method. I get it working on my phones first then i post guide, everything works fine, only thing ive noticed is sometimes itll take a min for magisk to ask for grant to su from app or service.

Tnx for sharing the info!
I'm considering trying the process and maybe attempt to build a TWRP image if rooted successfully.
Is your device still working properly?
Did you accept OTA updates and would you use the exact same steps and files if you were rooting today?
No ota
You have to reflash the original ramdisk.img to update then flash modded ramdisk.img
I'm considering buying this but only if it is rootable. Is it possible to install wearOS afterwards (soc compatibility ?)? Thank you very much
