As OREO on Huawei P8 Lite 2017 brings treble support so rooting it is an issue for everyone.
I am here to guide you how to root Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (also known as Honor 8 Lite).
Requirements:
1.Unlocked Bootloader
2.Oreo Updated
3.Current running firmware (mine PRA-LA1C185B366)
4.Huawei Update Extractor (Download Below)
5.Magisk Manager latest apk.
6.Internet Connection.
7.Fastboot installed.
Procedure:
1.Extract RAMDISK.img from your downloaded firmware (or you can dump it using TWRP).
2.Transfer extracted RAMDISK.img to your phone.
3.Now open installed Magisk Manager and click install.
4.Now choose patch boot image and select the extracted RAMDISK.img.
5.It will take 5 min to download zip file and patch RAMDISK.img.
6.Patched RAMDISK.img usually stored in "sdcard/Download/patched-boot.img" or magisk manager will also guide you where the patched boot image stored.
7.Transfer the patched-boot.img to your pc.
8.Now boot your phone in bootloader mode.
9.Flash the patched-boot.img using this command
"fastboot flash ramdisk (path of patched-boot).img" without qoutes.
10.After successful flashing reboot your phone either by holding power button or by using fastboot command.
BOOM your phone is rooted now start playing with magisk modules.
Not to rain on your parade but I have a Honor 6X. And I managed to install Magisk normally. Just flash TWRP, latest Magisk and reboot. Any TWRP available for hi6250 with decryption support?

Huawei has changed the partition scheme along with encryption method totally thats why it is taking so much time.
Good News is devs are working on it and they are hoping that we could decrypt our huawei phone very soon.

Well, can't you tape adb reboot recovery from PC shell once android is booted? This is the easiest way,
Else, shut down the mobile, press volume up button, next press power and keep volume buttton pressed, you should boot properly in recovery and not e-recovery.
@Notonlyeyes are TWRP / Root also working in P8 Lite 2017 ? Thank you.
Can someone point me to an updated guide to install any GSI Rom from EMUI8 ?
With working TWRP, ROM, and howto. Thank you VM !

Nice. On the link you gave for TWRP, there is a disclaimer "can't flash 8.1 ROMS".
My goal is to flash GSI roms, like LOS15.1. Will it be possible or am i doomed ?
Thank you for your help

I have not tried the installation Lineageos, I use twrp in Oreo Stock...
Best TWRP / OREO to use can be find in HWOTA https://github.com/jccultima123/HWOTA-OREO
First- I am NOT Responsible if you brick your Device! You do everything at your own Risk!
As I cannot find successfull thread here guiding to root this tablet I am posting the success with rooting with Magisk, all is seen on Russian forum 4pda,but the firmware I am on is not here ,it was little hard to find it(paid) but at the end it works, I have full root:
1 .You must have UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!!! You can do it here are 2 threads guiding to it,mine was with DC_unlocker-4USD;
2. You must download Magisk from its original thread :Link
3.You must Look at which firmware you are,download the patched ones :С170B003
С170B253
C100B270
Or you can download you full Rom, extract it using Huawei Firmware Extractor extract the BOOT.img from UPDATE.APP file transfer it to your tablet and using Magisk--> install choose boot.img and patch it, then copy the patched_boot.img from folder "Downloads" in the internal memory back to PC,rename to boot.img.
4.You must have installed ADB and fastboot.
5.Using fastboot command on PC install the patched boot.img to tablet:
-First on your tablet enable Developer Options, thick Enable OEM Unlock,thick USB Debugging on,when connected to PC must ask for Fingerprint Security Rsa key,thick Always Trust to this PC"
-Second Tunoff Tablet, then hold volume Down button and connect to PC with USB Cable,Fastboot menu must appear: With green at bottom must be written that it is not FRP locked! If so -dont do proceed disable remove Huawei Account if you have one!
-Third-copy patched boot.img to folder where is located ADB and fastboot, then hold shift and right click mouse button and click Open Command Prompt here.
Now on fastboot menu enter following:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
At the end everything must be OK!
Reboot with power button and check in Magisk !
Regards
I just wanted to confirm that this method works for my tablet. My Huawei Mediapad M3 10.1" BAH-L09 had bootloader unlocked. Emui5.1.2 and OS 7.0. Following these instructions, I extracted the BOOT.img from the stock ROM, then used Magisk Manager app (6.0.1) to create the patched-boot.img. Flashing this patched-boot.img using fastboot mode with command:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
My tablet now is ROOTED without any problems (camera works normally). In short, just follow exactly these instructions and your tablet will be ROOTED
This works for me on BAH-L09 with Build Number BAH-L09C100B270. My Tab ist now rooted with Magisk 17.1 installed. Next i do flash special version of TWRP from the TWRP Builder site. I took the version for the BAH-W09 (WIFI version of the tab) on my own risk. I KNOW thats not the correct version, so please dont criticize.
Installation via fastboot worked. I can boot into Huawei recovery (Power+Vol-up) and TWRP (Power + Vol-Up and Vol-down same time). System boots without problem too. Also i can flash back the original huawei rcovery.img in fastboot mode.
But there is an issue in this TWRP recovery version 3.2.1-0. It does not decrypt data. I tried to format data and flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt". But there is still an Huawei secure mechanism, that wants me to format data in Huawei recovery again. Without format data my tab do not boot into system.
Next step i tried to get TWRP for my device on TWRP-builder app. but no succes because the build queue ist full. So i have to wait...
Sorry but how did you unlock the bootloader?

My M3 10 lite was on latest frmware C100B270 as i used dc-unlocker. Unlock worked well for me.
Does rooting enable you to install Google Services on the tablet? Is so, how?
Is there an international ROM that can be used (with Google tools)
Thanks! Worked for my Mediapad M3 lite 10 (BAH-L09), but now... How can I update Magisk? The Magisk manager doesn't support the version installed.
Can't install twrp either

This is an old post. Development has going forward. Look here:
For a LineageOS rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/rom-t3945684
For TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development/twrp-t3914531
For the first step use the 3.2.0 version of TWRP if you are in Huawei's stock Rom.
For me its the best for this moment. Only issue is, that camera dont work in this early lineage rom. But developer is working on it.

Hello, I have a Honor 9 Lite in n° build 9.1.0.127 (C432E6R1P4).
Can I root this and how rooting this, please ?
Yes you can, but you need an unlocked bootloader.
1- Unlock bootloader.
2- Flash TWRP using fastboot.
3- Use TWRP to flash 'Magisk'.
Et voila !

You can root this using canary module magisk. But you will not be able to use the recovery while it is rooted because in pie you do not have ramdisk to patch so we will have to patch recovery_ramdisk using the canary build magisk manager and have to flash the patched recovery_ramdisk to the recovery_ramdisk partition in fastboot, hence we will not have recovery, but magisk root will be available.

Should I replace "oem hwdog" and "oem get-product-model" and "oem get-build-number"
in
Code:
fastboot oem hwdog certify begin;fastboot oem get-product-model;fastboot oem get-build-number
2. Where can I find TWRP for my Honor 9 Lite (= Huawei)

Where is this canary version? I flashed magisk but get bootloop from xposed. I just extracted my current recovery ramdisk and patched then flashed but as xposed is causing the loop it doesn't matter what I flash. A fix would be wipe and flash but I can't wipe at the minute. I haven't heard of canary though, do you have more info?

If you have TWRP recovery you can try to flash your current firmware using huawei updater tool without performing any wipe.
Which twrp you used? The one for emui 8.x, the only available twrp for honor 9 lite?
I have a LLD-L21 C636 with Resurrection Remix OS 7.0.1 Beta 1. It was rootet in the past but some months ago Magisk uninstalled itself while updating. Now I'm trying to recover Magisk since this time. I don't have access to the old patched image anymore, so I did the following:
Download LLD-L21C636E3R1P1B116 (9.1.0.116) from 2019.05.16 with firmware finder.
Extract the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img file and put it on the phones storage.
Patch it with Magisk Manager while making sure Recovery Mode is ticked in Advances Settings.
Put the resulting file back on the PC and flash it with fastboot.exe flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched.img then reboot with fastboot reboot
Reboot to recovery.
But all I get is a bootloop untill it gives up and boots normally.
There might be more things I tried last months but nothing works. Is anyone seeing any obvious error or has any other idea what could be wrong?

Open bootloader first
HI there,
I'm having a hard time to root my p 20 pro running an OpenKirin custom rom and would be grateful for some help.
Some information, about my phone and the build:
P 20 Pro CLT-L09 (C432)
Build number: OpenKirin-AntiEng PD20144.A1 (it is based on AOSPExtended)
Now, my problem is that I can't find a bootimage or a recovery.img for emui 9.0 anywhere on the internet. I apparently need this file to patch it and then install the patched file in fastbootboot mode. But all the links that still exist on various sites aren't working anymore. If someone still has the file I need or knows how to get it, that would be very nice.
Thanks in advance.
Also: The phone has no ramdisk, installing through twrp should not and did not work.
Edit: I figured it out by myself. OpenKirin sugests not to install twrp, and to root by patching the recovery.img of the stock firmware. Now, I did install Twrp and was unable to just install Magisk from there due to no ramdisk on the device. But since I had twrp installed as recovery I could just patch the twrp image and install it with fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched.img.
