Upgraded to Emui 5.0 and now can't root :/ ! - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello people !
so i had rooted my P9 Lite (VNS-L31C185B185 when i did !!! ) it was great...it was awesome !
and then !! i upgraded to Nougat (i used an app called firmware finder to get the B360 update )!!!
it worked !!! its great !!! i naively thought that i will flash and root my phone the same way... (i use adb and fastboot... )
ofc it didnt work.. i did some researches here... ended up trying the srk tool... didnt work... the gizdev... didnt work... and found the HassanMirza way but it included installing a TWRP that seemed a little weird to me... soooo...
could someone orient me toward the one true way to flash twrp and root my p9 with nougat update !!! or should i wait ?
TL;DR : once you upgrade your P9 Lite to Nougat ... how do you flash twrp and root again ? !!!
thank you people !!!

The only way to properly root a Nougat firmware on P9 lite is to flash the kernel by HassanMirza, so unlock your bootloader and install the Revolution custom recovery. Sorry but that's the only proper way to do it

Thank you for the answer! As I suspected it's too new to have an "optimized way" I will survive without root for a moment while this hopefully get polished out!! Will check from time to time thanks again my friend!

Root with Ver. NRD90M test-keys

I have a Huawei VNS-L31 and got the update to Emui 5.0. I have now the Ver. NRD90M test-keys. Is it possible to root with the same method that I used before on Android Marshmallow? I also noted that some people say that they're stuck on this version. Is this one somehow bad?
Thanks!

I have nouget too you can easily downgrade if you do it right most people just get it wrong and you can root with a PC look in the guides section of the p9 lite fourms and you should find it there if not look.uo a guide on google it uses a pc but there is no way to do it on the device its self after you've flashed AND booted into nouget as twrp is not supported yet you had to flash nouget and then flash an elite kernel to get root after updating you'll have to either use a PC or wait.

No, I know how to root on MM, but I can't downgrade cause my NRD90M test-keys version is not official.
I did not use the classic TWPR.
I have the same version as you and I put on the recovery Revolution with the root revolution and everything works very well ...
You have to flash the recovery.img in fastboot and here you go!
If you can not root I think you can change Rom without problem

P9 lite - VNS-L21C432B160

Hello there,
I have just received an old P9 lite - VNS-L21C432B160. I has Android 6.0 an EMUI 4. I wanted to flash a custom ROM but I am not able to. I have bootloader unlocked. I am able to instal TWRP 3.0.2-0. But all custom ROMs I tried, gave me ERROR7 or Signal 11. (It is not possible to correct Error7 according to manuals here...)
There is TWRP 3.2.1 for this phone but it doesn't work at all. I found out, it wants EMUI5.x which I do not have. Is it correct that I need to update to Nougat7 and EMUI5 first? I am trying to do it maybe 4 days already. I have tried everything which is available on the internet but I failed. I have original Stock ROM file with Android 6 - it works.. I also have update file for Android 7 (B336), but the phone doesn't want it. According to official manual, I need some kind of transfer package, which is not available.
Can anybody help me with flashing a custom ROM to this phone? I would love to have LineageOS 14.1
Thank you very much

Hi Karel,
use Firmware Finder app to update to android 7.
I recommend vpn/dns method.
You should point to B370 FULLOTA-MF-PV one...
All info are inside the app and some videos are on You_tu_be...
You can update the same way to latest firmware.
Good luck... :fingers-crossed:
Dude if you will succeed do not use 3.2.1 twrp, use instead 3.1.1-1 one..
Cheers
Hello Hello, thank you very much !! I was successful. The phone runs with the latest firmware now. I tried to install lineageOS 14 but I am not able to do that. I am stucked at the boot logo .. I found info: "If you stuck on boot screen, change your file system"... filesystem of what? SD card? Phone?
Thanks in advance!

Dude, the instructions are so old,
also i never installed LineageOS 14 on my p9 lite. (I do not have it anymore)
I can tell you to use twrp version 3.1.1-1 and I recommend posting it
in the appropriate thread, maybe other users can answer in more detail ..

Hello dude,
i wish to help but i think it's not possible....
anyway the best you can wish for is having android 7 stock
or some custom version of android 8.
As you wrote you have the cinese variant (G9 Youth). It should have
a different processor and need a personalized rom, can you check it ?
Go in settings, phone info...
Please report your complete firmware version
(example: VNS-L21C432B160/VNS-AL00C00B230)
and chipset version (example: Kirin 650/Snapdragon SD 617)
P.S.: You don't need to post in multiple sections.

Hello,
try to upgrade using THIS GUIDE.
Just change your firmware whit the one used into the guide...
At point n.2 add your device : VNS-L21C432 ;
At point n.4 choose VNS-L21C432B371 FULLOTA-MF-PV ;
At point n.13 you should find VNS-L21C432B371 update into the inbuild updater ;
As a last resource you could flash this firmware via TWRP
but it requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
Let the community know if it went well..
