Android 8 and P8 lite 2017

Hello, I have some questions about this phone, it will be long ...
My old Xperia XZ died after a foamy party ... so I bought this phone, and it's pretty cool.
So I would now go to android 8, surely LineageOS or EMUI8 I do not know yet.
So, do I really need to rebrand my phone for project treble?
Some links say no, some Rom allow activating treble, and other links say that you have to go through the official Rom EMUI8
I have to use EMUI recovery or TWRP?
Where can I find EMUI8 for Huawei?
How do I unlock my boot loader?
because the links I found his death ...
It was a lot easier on Xperai: D
Thank you for your help, as much on Xperia I know everything but there I am lost with this different recovery, with EMUI ... with the trick honor / Huawei
And I'm french, so not sure that I'm very readable, do not hesitate to tell me

Hi,
Just wait a little bit it should be Rolling soon in all countries officially (UK, Spain among others countries already got it so it might be soon for France )
If you're really in hurry there are multiple guides here that explains different ways to update manually. Not sure though if you can still unlock the bootloader...
Salut!

Tks,
I have bought this phone in spain so i hope i will have the update soon.
But, i want to change my rom because i'm barely out of storage, so i want a debloated rom like lineage not sure EMUI8 will fix my prob...
anyway I do not think I have enough storage to download it... they only have the 16go at movistar.

Yeah its too late for bootloader codes, huawei closed it a few days ago. Unfortunately you cannot flash any custom roms/recoveries/kernels, and i doubt anyone will ever crack the bootloader. sorry mate.:crying:

You can try DC unlocker but its expensive, google it.
Apart from that i dont think there are any others..

I'm baffled. My sim-free UK device still hasn't got the update whereas seemingly everyone else has.

See StonedPsyco's answer....if you have any other questions about downgrading, see StonedPsyco's answer again.
Hope that helps

The firmware can not be downgraded to anything with a lower bootloader version, only to firmwares of same bootloader version, the version is indicated by the 8th and 9th characters of the pda firmware version, such as "U3, V3, V4, etc" , that is why I am still running on 7.1.1, my device works really fine

You probably can if you can unlock the bootloader first.

So any idea to unlock the bootloader??

It's my understanding the Snapdragon version still has some issues getting rooted. I'm not 100% sure, though, as I don't follow that part of the forums, as I have an Exynos version.

Unlock bootloader

How do I unlock the bootloader of my Huawei mate 9 ?

Did you get the key before July 24? If not.... you can't. Not without paying some third party that might or might not work. (eg. Funky Huawei )

This worked for me. But you have to pay 4€.

It does work but first you need to downgrade your phone to nougat (Android 7.x) first and then it will work.

No, but there's a chance that the tools you buy access to might be able to extract that unlock code...no guarantee...no refunds...

EDIT seller says its 4.4.23+ EMUI/Android Version: 8.0 is that the unlockable one or is there more to the version that says it?

You need the build number and security patch date.
Pretty much all EMUI 8 builds on the Mate 9 run a 4.4.23+ kernel, even up through the latest security patches.
Once you know the build number, find it in Firmware Finder, and find the build for that region that enables GPU Turbo. If it's an older build, then it's likely that you could use the official rollback firmware to get the bootloader unlocked.

here ya go that is pic he provided

Yup, .375 is the latest one that's good, after that .377 had GPU Turbo and issues with downgrading.

so im good to downgrade? i will message you when i get the phone in a few days thanks

You won't get into the trouble that others did with .377 or later, yes.
But there's no guarantee everything works nicely.
Do read as much as possible before doing anything.
Also keep in mind that Android 9 is coming soon so maybe you don't need to unlock and whatnot.

for open kirin roms do you need to decrypt the data?

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.

Nah, that's alright. I wish people would research more for their issues, but if we're are done tweaking our stuff, we might as well help others, even if we have to repeat it like 100x a week :laugh:

Thanks for this info. Every other phone I've ever had, the bootloader was locked. I did do some searching first, and didn't find the info. I appreciate your help.

All versions, except t-mobile, can be unlocked. I think one version, the UK ebw, could officially be unlocked, but not 100% certain. If you look in the 'Guides' thread, you'll find the guide to unlock the boot loader of any version but t-mo.
cheers

I don't understand your question, do u mean "can we' unlock etc? The security patch level has nothing to do with it (unlocking), so don't know why u even mention it? Can u unlock if it has 10? yes.
