[HowTo] Root Huawei P8 GRA-L09 with LOCKED bootloader (Official method from Huawei)

Hello my friends,
I bring you another great present I found in Huawei Uganda.
You must download this file from Huawei server : http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=47595&version=100498
Inside this file you will find several directories (8). In the first one you will find the first official ROM for Europe, a /vendor/dload/update.app to modify /Cust (used for debranding) and /Root/update.app
So, if you want simply Root your P8, you only need to apply /Root/update.app as an update. You must copy update.app in /dload folder of your SD card and you apply the update locally or with the three buttons method.
This should work for all Android 5.0 versions and for all customizations for global regions and carriers. This sould also work on GRA-UL00 and Android 5.1.1 but I haven't tested yet.
Now, in the other 7 directories inside this file, you will find drivers, software, utilities, documents (in MS Excel, MS Word, PDF, RAR and ZIP files). Even inside some MS Excel there're other documents in MS Word, PDF, RAR and ZIP format).
These 7 extra directories will be very helpful for ROM cooking and experts.
This file is a technical file for Huawei. Make a copy and upload it somewhere just in case Huawei delete it. For the moment, just enjoy it!
PS: After downloading file GRA-L09 V100R001C432B031.rar when you try to open it, you will get RAR end of file error. Don't worry. It's not important. After inspection, on directory #8, there're are 3 sub-directories but you will read only #1 and #2. #3 will be lost in extraction. It contained just a MS Excel file

i will try tonight and will report my experience. thanks for sharing

update_data_full_hw_la.zip how to install?

Hi Everyone!
I followed the instructions to upgrade to Nougat from MM, this includes a file named update_data_full_hw_la.zip
http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/01/huawei-p9-plus-vie-l29-nougat-b354-latin-america.html
The step that I cant seem to install this file, I tried:
Renaming file to update.zip and try to apply it through forced update (DIDNT WORK)
Extract all the content into dload folder (DIDNT WORK)
The content has an UPDATE.APP file and multiple folders. The forced update goes really fast and does not seem to install anything.
The ROM itself does not have many apps so I guess this zip should have everything else that is missing from the ROM but I cant seem to install it properly.
Any help on this? How am I supposed to install it?

try the alternative method:
Alternative Method
Remove update files from your phone, if you have copied before
Download Huawei updater from This Link
Download latest Hisuite from official huawei website
Open huawei update, tick in custom rom, in custom rom version type VIE-L29C605B354
In Custom rom URL copy this link http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1257/g104/v71996/f1/
Then tick custome port, don’t change it.
now connect your phone with pc and make sure Hisuite recognize and connected properly. then just open Hisuite menu and change network settings as shown in image below.
Easy-Nougat-Update-2.png
Then in hisuite click check for update
it should start downloading and installing firmware

Thanks, but that method won't work as the ROM itself was already applied, therefore, HiSuite returns a message saying that I'm on the most updated version.
The file m trying to apply should contain apps like the calculator, Bluetooth, compass, etc. These apps are not part of the ROM but they come on a separate zip file.
The issue seems to be that apps are not compatible with the Nougat ROM already installed.
Any other thoughts?

If any of you has an update zip containing all remaining apps, please share!

The problem u are facing could be 2. Cust and oeminfo but fitting the package and /of rom. And the two packages need to be installed immediately with starting with the hw update, after that the normal one. Tell me which version and cust we are talking about?

Stock on MM

EVA-L09C432B386 files for HWOTA?

Hi, I would like to restore my P9 to stock rom EVA-L09C432B386 using the HWOTA method explained here.
I am unable to locate the firmware files required.
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip
update_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip
Does anyone have them?
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place.
Thanks.

Hi, I am looking for the same or similar to upgrade from EVA-L09C432B210, preferably in the format where i can use the dialpad? All previous links seem dead. If anyone has a copy of this software somewhere this would be much appreciated.

Same problem that I have too, I guess we arrived late ....

Have the images, but unfortunately no zips or update.app available anymore.
B136 only main update.app
B182 only main update.app
B210
B242
B378 full zips
B383
B386
B387
B388
B391
B393
B394
B395
B397
B398
B399 imgs + cust zips
B502
B503
B504
B505
B506 update.app complete
If you guys use TWRP, we can talk about a prebuilded zip to flash. On the other hand allmost every firmware is unpacked and is only as img files available. Most are useless to store.

Hi, could you share the full zips for B378?
How would I use a prebuilt zip to restore to stock?
Thanks for your reply!

Check if you can find something in Nougat folder at:
15.94 GB folder on MEGA
32 files and 6 subfolders
mega.nz
Rar images should be unarchived and inside you should find zips for updating.
Some may even contain official installation documentation

I dont know but maybe in the future someone is going to need my signature.
Have fun.
