For some reason I can't root my Huawei P8. It currently running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Before that it was running on Android 5.1 Lollipop and it was rooted. I've tried many times but was unsuccessful. The bootloader is unlocked (In the fastboot screen it said phone locked in red text). I flashed Twrp recovery install SuperSu but no root. Have anybody experienced this kind of issue? Any threads or site that can help me fix this and get my phone rooted? Thanks in advance.
Btw current build version is GRA-UL00C636B361
there should be a method with 2 zip file to flash in two steps (one right after another restart), but it was for the p8 lite, I do not know your model
you need kernel and last twrp....follow this instrction:

First off thanks to the community for actively helping strangers on the internet. We appreciate it.
Now, I rooted my phone while on 5.0.1 using chainfire's root technique without issue. Then I flashed with Odin Sammobile's 5.1.1 update successfully. However in doing so I lost root.
When I attempt to re-root using the same technique that worked before it goes into a bootloop. So I re-flashed the 5.1.1 update and then flashed TWRP. I granted TWRP the right to install root and the same problem occured. It just continues to loop at the samsung logo.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Just search the forum, there are many thread about the solution here
I've tried searching the forums without any luck. If anyone could link a thread with an answer it would be great. Unfortunately I have about 20 minutes a day to try to get this resolved and I'm on day 4.
Thanks
Chain fire's root file which is made for android 5.0 won't work on android 5.1. To root android 5.1 you will need to flash a root file made for your device of that version. Also note that you must flash only those files that are made for your phone's model number. For example, exynos root file may or may not work on snapdragon.
Hi, I now have versions ALE-L21C432B132. The phone is unlocked bootloader and root, recovery twrp and I can not update to B170. What should I do?
Havn't tried but unroot, install original recovery and update through EMUI, then root again and install twrp recovery
Hi, I have a similar problem, I have bootloader unlocked, root but original stock recovery and I want to upgrade to B170 but in recovery installation up to 10% and message appears installation faild. I unrooted before upgrade. I tried many times. Maybe someone could help me? I have P8 lite ALE-L21, Im from Poland. And sory for my English.

Have you modified somehow system partition? Host file, Adaway, Busybox...
System partition must be clean and untouched, just like original ROM. I had problems in the past because of this.

Use the full update, I don't have the link at hand, but the file is over 1 GB, it HAS to include the system.img or it will not work right.
Recently picked up a P8 from someone who had one lying around.
I'm trying to root it but after installing TWRP i keep entering a bootloop which apparentely is counteracted by holding some combination of buttons.
currently im on B222 and i also tried installing marshmallow (stock) from SD which also makes me enter a bootloop and when my phone finally turns on its like it forgot it had a command to update.....
I'm a little lost on what to do now, i tried googling and all that but i cant find similar issues.
You cannot install Marshmallow with a B222 build, so you'll first need to downgrade to a B200 build.
If you are on a C432 (European) build, you can download European B200 directly from Huawei via this link & install it: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=68483&version=238533
Once B200 is present, if you check via Settings > Update you'll most likely be offered a Marshmallow OTA update. If not immediately or within a few days, then update manually as you tried before, again using a C432 build only.
With Marshmallow installed, you can follow one of these guides to install TWRP & root:
[Guide][Huawei P8] TWRP + Root Systemless Marshmallow Installation (GRA-L09&GRA-UL00)
Rooting and Unroot Huawei P8 [6.0] [FOR All EMUI4.0.1] all [GRA-Types]
I had a rooted p9 Lite VNS-L31.
I updated my phone and after the update the root was gone. I tried rerooting and got as far as installing TWRP recovery but when typing "adb reboot recovery" in the console my phone got stuck in bootloop. I got it out of bootloop but I still want to root my phone or install the official rom.
I am kind of scared to do anything like that so if someone could tell me what had gone wrong and/or tell me how I can install a working rom that would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
Oem ?

having the same issue, I think no one is able to help with this
It's possible you have installed the wrong TWRP for your software version. If you are on Marshmallow, make sure you install TWRP for Marshmallow. If on Nougat, install TWRP for Nougat.
If you installed the correct TWRP, then I'm not sure what the issue is, sorry.

Hi, yesterday i tried to root my phone for the first time, i unlocked the bootloader then installed twrp recovery.
But when i was installing root, after some restarts my phone got stuck in bootloop, finally this morning i was able to reflash recovery, system and boot files with fastboot, and now my phone is working but the emui now its 4.0.
Do i have to update my emui before rooting? Or can i root now and only update the custom rom?
And if somebody is so kind to show me every step to root it correctly, i'd be very grateful.
Thanks.
PS: I'm sorry, i didnt saw the Q&A section, and i don't know how to delete this thread
