Can anybody help me root my new phone? I picked it up in China and of course come home to the US and find that the native Huawei EMUI 3.1 makes the phone basically unusable due to 1) the native apps being mostly in Chinese, and 2) I cannot install any Google apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

you download the ROM stock " P8青春版 移动联通4G版(ALE-UL00, Android 5.0, EMUI 3.1, C00B220, 联通移动4G版) " ??
you have working 3g/4g ?
Yes, but version was b150. Should be the same. Yes, i was able to call and use 4g connection.
My Huawei P8 has some blue clouding on the screen and I want to get it repaired. How can I find out what region the phone is originally from? Huawei USA support didn't understand the question and they said they cannot service the phone. It's a GRA-L09 I think from Latin America, but I don't know exactly where.

My vendor is "eu" so I guess I will try with the German support. Thanks.

It could been changed by updating the firmware from LL to MM (GRA-UL00C185B320)?. At first it has´t ...C185... (I didn´t take note the original)

In that case, your phone is actually a GRA-UL10 or CL10 (not L09) - as only this model has the premium spec (64Gb storage) & dual-SIM capability.
My guess is that someone may have installed a GRA-L09 (single-SIM) firmware/rom on your phone, which would also explain the lack of dual-SIM settings. Contact the previous owner & ask about this.
What model is mentioned on the rear bottom of your phone in tiny text? And what's the full firmware build number in Settings > About phone? It will be in this format: GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.
Edit: Ok, what I said before may not be entirely true, as I've since found 2 instances of the L09 model with 64Gb storage + Kirin 935, & for both there's only single-SIM support mentioned:

From all the info you've given so far, my guess now is that you have an International version, but with a single-SIM European firmware installed (HERE's an example of a GRA-L09 dual-SIM firmware, so it does exist).
Where did you buy the phone from? Which country or region? If you bought it secondhand, where did your seller buy it from brand new?
What was the previous / original firmware installed before you updated to your present C432B392?
What was the original firmware that came with the brand new phone? Do you remember, or can you find out from the original buyer?

Vendor: country file not exist

Looks like you (or the previous owner) installed a firmware version that's different to the region meant for your phone - like in these 2 examples:
Help resting P8 back to complete stock, recovery, system etc.
Need a kind soul to help!
What is the model number/code mentioned in tiny text on the rear bottom of the phone? It will be in this format: GRA-xxxx.
What is the full 'Build number' mentioned in Settings > About phone? It will be in this format or similar: GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx.

That looks fine, although normally it would be GRA-L09 & GRA-L09C469B190.
If it is as I say, which country are you from, or which country did you purchase the phone from? Also, is the phone vendor/network branded?

Usually, on network-branded phones, the company's logo will be visible during bootup. Also, there may be Entel-related apps installed.
Are you wanting to update your phone's software from Lollipop (Android 5) to Marshmallow (Android 6)?
Hello,
I've found on my polish android forum way to debrand p8 lite without using bootloader. However it doesn't work on my phone which is branded for TIM Mobile (some italian operator).
My version is TAG-L01C212B123 - I want to debrand it and follow with official huawei releases.
I'd like to make it without unlocking bootloader so I can keep my guarantee.
Is it possible?
Thanks!

Your best bet is to unlock the bootloader by getting your unlock key from huawei and if the problems arise wherein you need to return your phone pay the small amount to DC unlocker (Google it) to lock your phone (shows locked not relocked)

Thank you for your reply.
Well first of all I managed to update to b576 without unlocking the bootloader.
And the main purpose why I couldn't do it in the first place was... not having a Huawei p8 Lite but huawei 5s enojy / gr3 / p8lite smart (TAG-01) - call it whatever you want. A little misunderstanding between me and phone seller.

Hi! I have a p8 lite smart, too. I'd like to unbrand it, did you find a way to do it?
I didn't find anything on google about it, nobody knows this phone!

If I had, I wouldnt return it It was slightly better than p8 lite.
I guess you should look at chinese/hindi forums, I guess that phone was meant for asian markets.
Hi guys,
I'm a little noob with geek stuff but still I like to do it by myself.
Story: I went abroad for a six months trip and I bought a P8 lite in Japan (Soft bank carrier). The model is a ALE-L02-C111B210 (single sim) and from my search on the forum, I understand that it is the same as L21 except LTE frequencies may not work. I have different ideas but I'd like to check before doing anything stupid (which I am )
The phone has a lot of japanese crappy apps that I cannot uninstall and no updates are provided by this carrier. That why I want to root it and debrand it.
1- When I put my european simcard, it ask me for a network unlock code. I cannot get it from the carrier because my account was closed and they don't want to hear anything. I then found website who can give me a "generic" unlock code for this device against 10€. Before paying for a code, I'd like to know if rooting the phone and puting a custom/unbrand rom, it will also unlock the network or not. I compare to my old iphone who can be unlocked once rooted
2- I read a LOT of threds about L21 and several people with the L02 used the video for RootJunky who give all required files included a firmware file but an old one I think (V100R001C636B120).
Can replace it with one I got from huawei website but following the same procedure ? for instance : HUAWEI P8 Lite Firmware(ALE-L21, Andriod 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C432B565, Austria, Single SIM, Channel-Others)
3- dumb question. what's the stock rom for ? because it is only 34Mb on the RootJunky repository
Thanks a lot for any help/answer

1) Which website? Are you sure it is safe? Don't give credit card information on such sites without confirmation. Iphone rooted?Iphone can be unlock and jail break but remember root is different from jailbreaking.
2) You may flash other country firmware. It's no big deal. But you may need to unlock bootloader.
3) stock rom is the default rom that phone comes with. Its size is usually above 1GB. 34MB can't be stock rom.

The website should be ok, it has a good rating of trustedshops. does not look fake, but still, I'd like to know if buying an unlock code will be necessary after rooting/changing the rom .[/QUOTE]

I found a way to do this.
1) First you need to get your operators mcc code with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sevenza.cellid
2) Then go to /data/property/persist.radio.previousopcode0 and copy this code somewhere.
3) Depending on your Cust (mine is EU), go to /cust/hw/eu/xml/hw_defaults.xml and search for hw_2g_only_cust_display and add the code from number 2 with a ; sign.
4) Then search for hw_add_4g_only and add the code from number 1 with a ; sign.
5) Save the file and reboot.

You have a rom problem. Reinstall you official firmware and do a factory reset with stock recovery. I can see that u use a KangVip rom so you have to report to the ROM developer.
