Latest official FW VNS-L31C432B150 Problems

Hi
I think the Directory-Structure is different in the latest FW!
When i try to flasha Custom Keyboard like the one from Sony Xperia Z3 it doesnt appear in settings!
But on older FW it does!
Have anybody a plan where i must extract manually the zip from Custom Keyboards?

TWRP goes up to B130? So you might unzip it then install apk manually. About TWRP, I never tried in B151, but B130 I have. I am tired about "Your device is not trustworthy"-ish message every time I boot it up, so I just re-lock my device... Have you tried Settings - Apps - Menu (at the bottom of the screen) - Show system processes? Any flashed apps goes as System app, I think.

Anybody else have the issue that Xposed framework stopped working for this firmware?
The zip file flashes fine without returning any errors but it still says framework not installed in the app.
Tried with several versions of Xposed.
Before the update it worked fine...

Really strange... That is the one I also flashed...
But does not seem to work...
However, I have a L31 with B150. I also cannot activate the DT2Wake function on my device.
Somehow I think I have an overly restricted kernel in my device
But as soon as we have CM I'll say goodbye to EMUI anyway...

Sorry but it's the first time I update EMUI on my P9 Lite so I'd like to ask... If I update it, what will I lose? Root and bootloader? Or only Xposed won't work anymore?

What about bootloader and TWRP Recovery?

If you install it via twrp bootloader won't be relocked, if via dload bootloader will be locked, twrp will be lost in both ways.

Twrp will be lost eventually, bootloader will be locked only if you install via dload (the standard installation provided by Huawei)

What's the impact of updating to latest official stock ? any known issues ?

Any tool to root P8 lite 2017 ?

Hi there.
Does anyone has informations about rooting the new p8 lite 2017?
It comes with android nougat 7.0 and I can't find any TWRP, SuperSU ...
Thanks for your help.

P8 lite regular have different specs from 2017 version, if I were you I give a try in the Honor 6x section, because the CPU is the same maybe you could get some hints there.
Other devices with same CPU:
-Honor 8 lite
-Mate 9 lite

Thank you.
But I'm not courageous to test these tools - I don't want to brick it.
So, I unlocked the bootloader and now I need something like TWRP and (maybe) a modified SuperSU to get root.
If someone has any informations about, let me know.
Regards.

Well, it should work. In the worst case you could just reflash your old recovery with fastboot.

Could you tell us if it's worth it to buy or not please ? Bcz im thinking about having one but i dont know samsung a5 2017 is cool too and better in a lot of things

i think twrp from 6x would work on P8 lite 2017
then you on terminal put (for the safest case), echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
and you are done, it should work, on my Moto G 4G (XT1040) i do that to root on nougat

Use Magisk to root it

In my opinion its a fine phone with a good hardware and a fair price.
And very performant, too.

Without TWRP?
I'm not as good to perform only with a command-line.
Remember, your knowledges are not the same as usual...

Trying is free, but try it.
Download and install magisk from store. It will try to install binaries. If you succeed you are done. If it fails try the other solutions gave by others.
Trying is the key.

Of course not.
As I said: I don't know for sure , which version works with the new 2017 p8lite.
(The fone isn't mine, so I take care and don't want to brick it.)
Edit: As reported in Android-hilfe, the TWRP of Honor 6x will NOT work.

I also tried a few recovery roms, none that worked. Still waiting for a working one!

Hmm I could try see if I could help u. Could u try the mate 9 lite or any twrp (if available for nougat) and se if it wors?
In this case it can be related to kernel or some other info.
Since these devices are very similar it should be easy to port twrp

I think we should get a new section for the P8 lite 2017.

None of the TWRP did work, as a user in another Forum reported.
I can't test by myself, because the fone isn't here anymore.

I tried the RevolutionRecovery for P9 Lite Nougat. Is not able to mount system.

I tried all day long to unlock the bootloader, creating a Huawei account and following step by step the procedure to can get an unlock code. But once I got it, trying to unlock by DOS prompt, it failed and remains locked. I think because this procedure is related to P8 Lite, and not to P8 Lite 2017. Currently it seems to be there's no way yet to can root the P8 Lite 2017, unfortunately for all possessors of it, like me

I have to correct my post above.
This TWRP istn´t able to mount data, not system...but this has been described in the RevolutionRecovery thread, nothing specific to the P8 Lite 2017.
So flashing SU doesn´t work, flashing magisk zip makes the phone reboot instantly.
@Joaquito29
Unlocking the bootloader worked pretty well for me and someone in another forum said, he was able to root the phone manually by pushing su and busybox binaries to bin and xbin.

Witch guide has been used for unlocking bootloader? And for rooting without unlocking bootloader?
Thanks in advance

stock boot image dump

I've got a PRA-LX1 here, P8 lite 2017
I wanted to give Magisk (and then MagiskSU) a try, but it says it requires a stock boot image dump.
How to make one reliably for this model? I tried with twrp first, but it says it requires root to do so. Since I wanted to try if MagiskSU can root it, I am wondering now how to dump it without having root in the first place?

First of all, this is general for P8 Lite not 2017; after that magisk require the boot image dump only if you don't have a custom recovery.
you can flash the magisk zip from twrp.

I'm sorry, I didn't see there is a different section for the 2017.
Yet, this doesn't answer the question at all - if I had a custom recovery installed I wouldn't have the need to ask that- obviously

twrp it's a custom recovery.
Did you mean that you tried to install twrp and you failed? you have to unlock bootloader (i think the procedure it's like P8 Lite) than flash it.
I don't know if it's working, but you can give a try: download a full firmware then use huawei update extractor to extract the boot image and you're almost done.

ah, now I get the misunderstanding. Guess I was a bit unclear. On this phone I only have the twrp app so far, which refuses to do the backup without having root.
Thanks for the hint with the update extractor, will dig it and give it a try.
If there are other ways yet, always open for suggestions.

It's expected to happen that way. Just re-flash root in TWRP. If you updated to Oreo, forget supersu, not working anymmore, use magisk. 14.6.

Flash blu spark TWRP via fastboot. Search the forum. Then install magisk 14.6. you should be good that way.

Any working root for Unlocked T-Mobile Variant?

Interesting wording. If you mean that you can now toggle OEM unlocking on, then unlocking the bootloader with fastboot is the same no matter what device you have.

Sorry for that lol But what I meant was just any root method using magisk because I used the latest 20.2 and it failed for me. And TWRP if any . Just a point in the right direction basically ?

Like @p70shooter said. There is no other way to root besides magisk, and there is no TWRP as of yet. If rooting with 20.2 didn't work, then try 20.1. You can find it here :good: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

This what I'm getting when I keep trying to patch it. And it is the correct stock image with my build number.

Just a little FYI for you my friend. Have you downloaded the factory image coinciding with your current build? If not, then do so, then extract the factory image, then extract the image.zip, then pull the boot.img from there, place it on your phones internal storage, then try to patch it with magisk. I just did it myself with the 20.2 stable version and it worked fine :good:
