Thanks to @zxz0O0

Looks good. Although why do you need to back up the DRM keys when we aren't touching the boot loader ?

My phone details are:
- 17.1.1.A.0.402, Russian
- LB
- I have not done DRM keys backup or TA backup. (I guess it written just in case...
order I did root:
1. Use Easy root
2. Verified roor via Root Checker
3. Installed recovery
4. flashed SuperSu zip file
today installed Xposed.
By now - no problems.

any data loss?

Not a single file = no data loss.
I am now doing installation of apps that required root, i.e. what I missed without root

It says what you can do, not what you should do. (i.e. it's not required to backup DRM keys)

I wanted to install dualrecovery, downloaded the installer.zip and executed the .bat.
My phone boots, but not into recovery. It seems it didn't work.
What exactly do I have to do there?

Probably you need to download tr.apk separately and place it to files folder before using tool, just an idea.
and btw, I also installed separately adb drivers from latest flashtool, if its helps.

I try with windows.
Before i do it:
Do you loose drm?
I have a locked bootloader, can i still root it?
What is your conf?

Root Checker told me it would be root. But I think it wasn't.
Dualrecovery didn't work.
I started from the beginning. Used the Easy Root again and rooted it again. Installed Dualrecovery. Clicked on Vol+ after
rebooting and got into recovery. There I installed the zip (Update SuperSU) and everything works now.
Great thanks

as you got root, no need to unlock bl just install it. + flash supersu zip.

[ROOT] Root Mate 7 with SuperSU

Hi guys, I found a new method to have a fully functional root with SuperSU instead of Kingroot.
1- Download Kingroot 4.5 from https://sites.google.com/site/androidxdacom/file/Kingroot_V4.5.0.722.apk?attredirects=0
2- Install app and root the phone with it
3- Install Super-Sume from Play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersume), open it and click on the button with the white android: the app removes all Kingroot apps and installs SuperSU.
4- Reboot and enjoy!
If Kingroot app is still present after reboot, just uninstall it by Titanium Backup or another uninstaller; you can also uninstall Super-Sume after the work is done!
SOME ADVICES (carefully pasted and adapted from Super-Sume app description........)
- This is the process that you MUST follow in order for this to be successful !!!
- Once your device is rooted with Kingroot install Super-Sume, do not install it prior !!
- If you have TEMP root OR are on Kingroot PRIOR TO 4.5 you will need to unroot your device first, re-root with KingRoot 4.5 and then install Super-Sume AFTER you are rooted and run it.
- If you are on KingRoot 4.5 or higher you should be all set to just install it and run it at any time after root.

I cant root with this method, do you need unlocked bootloader for this?

Mine is unlocked and everything works, so yes you need to unlock your bootloader!!!

in what sense supersu better than kingroot? sorry ya ..i just need to know the real reason because as i just need basic rooting only.
i know kingroot have that annoying purify features..which troublesome for me

For b312 you just need to unlock your bootloader and instal custom recovery ... And then flash SuperSu with Flashify... Is that Easy...

Supersu is well known by all apps that need root: for example if you have Kingroot and open Titanium Backup it says that you'll may have problems with Kingroot...this not happens with Supersu.
Supersume uninstalls all apps installed by Kingroot, even Purify. If you don't like Purify, but you desire to keep root by Kinguser, you can uninstall it manually!

With my method you can keep the phone original without heavy modification such as recovery installation. However thanks mate!

Just to be clear, does this unlock the bootloader? Sorry for asking, but I'm a total n00b when it comes to things like this, and I really don't want to void my warranty while rooting

No, this method won't unlock your bootloader!

Ok thanks a million for the answer! I think now I'll be brave enough to root my phone

It took me more than ten tries (lost count ) but eventually this method worked! Thank you so much! I have a MT7-L09.

very proud of you and of me of course!!!!!

I'm new to the Huawei scene, only had the device for about 2 weeks, so this might be a very basic question .... does Huawei allow official automatic updates on rooted devices?
This is not possible on Samsungs for example, so was wondering how it works here before I root it
Thanks in advance for your help.

Help us to get Marshmallow beta - How to do a backup if you are a beta tester.

So, the general thread about the beta is a real mess, so here's one who will talks ONLY about the backup.
Only the people who have been selected as beta tester are supposed to reply in this thread, other don't have anything to do here!
Here's how to backup the firmware for us:
istux said:
Ok guys,
I managed to get recovery and root on this beta
Now it's late here, so if someone else want to dump through a TWRP backup, here is how:
1) Unlock the bootloader
2) Flash the last TWRP via fastboot
-here is the recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3313889
3) Enter recovery -many thanks to @shoey63-
- Power off the phone
- Restart holding power button and volume down
- Release power button when you feel the single vibration whilst still holding power down
- Phone should enter recovery
4) Make a backup of system+boot and share it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you haven't already installed the beta BUT have been selected, do a backup of your TA partition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
If you have already installed the beta, you can still backup your TA partition but you will have to flash an old Lollipop ftf first, root your device and then backup the TA.
Once done you can unroot and wait Marshmallow OTA who will come back
If something isn't clear or if you need help for any parts, just ask

Soooo, I wrote a nice tutorial...
For me
But it works, I just backed up the boot and system

Jajaja... xDDDD, you know we all appreciate it anyway

Humm, we will need a special TWRP build to do a better backup...

You must be sure that you are on latest Lollipop firmware version before flashing MM... Because of new bootloader and recovery support.

xposed for ze551ml

Someone tried it?
Does it void your warranty?
Will OTA work if I uninstall it?
Is it as risky as change rom? Or more like root the phone?

Also, can you link a safe guide for the ze551ml?

1. it depends on your country mobile regulator, as far i know in europe is legal to root your phone and does not void warranty
2. before you apply ota, uninstall xposed and unroot your devices
3. more like root the phone.
follow this guide, ask on the thread if you not sure.

I rooted already my phone, so I guess its not a problem.
Anyway the ADB method looks easy, I guess I'll give it a try.
And what about the Xposed Framework systemless? Why does it exist if you can apply OTA with default xposed?
Also, how can I do a nandroid backup before installing it? I want to be sure I can recover the phone.

Not sure on this, but if we use Magisk Hide to hide root from System Update, I think we might get normal update. Haven't tried this.

if you want the small ota (for flashing with stock recovery) better try a vpn (like opera vpn), select germany or canada and do the update
