[GUIDE] Unlock Bootloader, Root, Install TWRP & Decrypt

For an easy way to Unlock, Root & Decrypt your Mate 8 here are the steps you need to take. This has been requested by a number of you so here it goes:
1) Unlock your bootloader. There are three steps you can take. The first is free. The second method requires you to pay a few dollars but it works and is the fastest way. I would highly recommended this method. This is confirmed working on all models.
Option 1: Make a Huawei ID on your phone and stay signed in for 14 days and go then online to unlock your bootloader and it should work on the website.
https://uniportal.huawei.com/accounts/register.do?method=toRegister
Option 2: If you want to unlock your phone immediately and don't mind paying a few dollars this method works. Visit here:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy
- Download the DC Unlocker Software
- On their site buy 4 credits. I used PayPal. It cost me around $4.38 USD.
- Follow the instructions in their tutorial. Choose "Read Bootloader Code" in DC-Unlocker to get your bootloader code. It was pretty easy.
- Put your phone in bootloader mode (plug into the computer and hold in power and volume down with the phone off) and download the Android tools from the link at the end of step two. Extract them to a folder on your desktop and open a command prompt to that folder and type in fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx where x is your bootloader unlock code the DC Unlocker program gave you.
2) Download the TWRP recovery of the EMUI version you are currently on (5.0 ,5.1, 6.0) from here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5I_q70mNuR4Vmo5LUUyU2t5TWs?usp=sharing
Then put your phone into Bootloader Mode (plug phone into computer and hold in power + vol down) and fastboot flash the TWRP recovery file you downloaded. Here are the Android tools you need to fastboot flash. Extract them to a folder and put the twrp recovery img file inside the folder as well and open up a command prompt to the folder and type in fastboot flash recovery TWRP-ENG-XXX.img (where XXX is the version of TWRP you downloaded) Then type in fastboot reboot. When your phone reboots shut it back down and then hold in volume up and power until it turns on and keep holding in volume up until the phone boots into TWRP recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4UzdkeERRZExnUVk/view?usp=sharing
3) Root your phone.
In TWRP flash SuperSU:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4OWlXeTJuTjdoS0k/view?usp=sharing
After flashing you will be rooted and on TWRP successfully.
4) Decrypt your internal storage.
You must decrypt your internal storage so TWRP can see it or if you want to be able to flash a rom. If you're getting an unable to format data in TWRP then you know you need to do this. Boot into TWRP then go to Wipe then Advanced Wipe then Format Data and type in yes. This will wipe and decrypt your internal storage. BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE before you do this if you have anything important on it. (Pics are at the bottom of this post) Then either flash one of my roms or decrypted boot.img to keep the internal storage decrypted. If you boot with the stock boot.img installed it will encrypt your internal storage again and you'll have to repeat the process.
*To take an ota or do the dload method you don't have to relock"

does flashing supersu through twrp directly work? in my case i needed to flash the decrypted boot image first, otherwise id have a bootloop after rooting...

It works for me when i'm on stock B137.

good stuff, maybe it was because of a different supersu version which phone do u have? AL10 or L29?

I believe so. I'm not too familiar with the International firmware. I saw it posted somewhere so I saved it in case anyone needed it.

yep thats correct, B137 latest chinese and B133 latest international rom
thanks for the info, i had some problems with flashing supersu, but once i flashed the decrypted boot image my bootloop and partition mounting troubles in twrp were gone no idea what exactly was the culprit there but i guess ill stick to flashing the decrypted boot.img first before continuing with rooting a firmware...

i would like to do the 4$ Method. But link is dead

I made it two days ago and it works with mate8.

Does this now mean we are likely to see numerous custom roms & kernels being developed in the very near future for this awesome smartphone ?

i sure hope so especially since huawei seems to have publicized its kernel source for the mate 8 just recently in the end it depends on the interest of the devs, though, and the overall popularity of the mate 8! im staying optimistic that itll be better than with the mate 7

Don't worry, it works with the Mate 8. You're doing something wrong if it didn't work.

Say we do unlock BL and then root... Than I guess we cannot get OTA updates right? Also does the BL re-lock?

You should still get ota updates if you're unlocked and rooted. Yes you can relock just make sure you fastboot flash or do the dload method to get back to stock before you relock.

it's the code in first line, cofusing

[Info] Unlock Bootloader, Recovery, ROOT [Noob friendly]

Hi guys I get this phone from not much time so i decide open this thread for explain the basic and necessary
1. How to unlock bootloader?
As all know Huawei web page for get unlock code not is working an also email assistance so how you can get the code,
well follow this:
- You must stay in a firmware less of 4.4.2 or 5.1.1 not 6.0 in my case I use this firmware "MT7-TL10C900B326" *If you're in 6.0, so must downgrade.
- Then to install or stay in a 4.4.2 or 5.1.1 base, download and install Kingroot (Phone will said u that could damage your phone but install it, no problem with it)
- Now open Kingroot and follow the instructions for root your device
- When all has sucessfull now install HonorTurner that can get in this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/unlock-code-via-honortuner-t3217651
- After to install grant the root access permission and go to this tab " Hardware Info" and look this line "WVLOCK" (This is our unlock code, so copy the code in a secure place)
- Now go to "Developer Options" If dont have enabled go to about phone info and press sometimes "Build Number", and enable "USB debugging and allow all and be sure that have installed huawei suite in your pc for get the drivers installed
- Now download the "SRK Tool" from this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-beta-02-20160501-t3369990
- After to download connect your phone to your PC, dont press nothing in the usb options, only connect
- Now run the SRK Tool and press 1. Unlock bootloader, will ask if you have your unlock code (that we get it with HonorTurner) so press Y, and will start the adb service and will ask for our code, after to add the code, the phone will reboot automatically and u can go to fastmode and look that your device know is unlocked
2. How to install recovery?
* If want install MM before of all u can do it, only be sure that have your bootloader unlocked
* For enter to bootloader mode press Vol + then Vol - and Power at the same time with the phone turn off
- Donwload latest recovery for your variant, in my case M7-TL10 (You can found it here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784)
- For M7-TL10 download this --> https://mega.nz/#!9kBWnY7T!ybhARn5UNXAyxrdQZ1ytKks24eCyzxkgdVhEza6zwFQ
- Connect your phone and be sure that have enabled USB Debugging option and have unlocked the bootloader
- Run the tool and select the recovery that want install
- Wait that the tool finish to install and will reboot automatically, and enjoy!
NOTE--> For enter to recovery mode press Vol + and Power at the same time with the phone turn off
3. How to root your phone?
For 4.4.2 and 5.1.1
- Download and install KingRoot from this link: http://king.myapp.com/myapp/kdown/img/RushRoot-CafeUser-release-nolog-sdk-lc64E08B246F910AF4-b220-svn372160-201609012210b_protected_signed.apk *(Phone will said u that could damage your phone but install it, no problem with it)
- Now open Kingroot and follow the instructions for root your device and wait
- And your phone will be rooted!!
For 6.0
- Download and install a custom recovery *Is necessary unlock your bootloader for it
- Download SuperSU with/without apk from here --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668276376 or https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668276377 and copy to your phone, if both zip dont work so use this one https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=601296195406528565
- Go to recovery mode (Turn off the phone and press Vol + and Power at the same time of 5-7 seconds)
- Now search and install zip "SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" and wait that the installation finish
- Reboot and enjoy of your rooted phone in MM
I do this thread and guides in 1 place because I see that some info in the others threads are wrong or one in place and other in other place, so for this I decide do it, If any want another guide let me know and I'll add it in this thread, so enjoy of your Mate 7!

Updating guide

Hello friend. Sorry I write you here but it seems that you are good in rooting and I need some help as I am really desperate since I can't backup, and use the apps I need without root access. I always have been rooted in any phone but since I received an OTA update, around 1 giga , giving me the Version Android 6.0 on my phone MT7-TL10C00B561 (Chinese) I lost root.
I tried some guides for uncloking the bootloader but I get the msg like it has not been used for 14days or smth like this.
Can you(or someone) please help me as this phone is out since 1 and half year and I still can't get the root.
Thank you in advance.

Do you try downgrade to first mm and then to lp??? Try do it and use kinguser to root and honor apk to read unlocked bootloader code
send from ? if I help you you can buy me ?

Thanks but I had it with KitKat than lollipop rooted (without locking the bootloader) after I updated to mm (by ota) I lost the root... :/
Any idea?
Wish I could have solved and with great pleasure I could have given u the beer!

just downgraded to B358 and i just lost ALL my important Data, photos, screenshoots (very important) , app datas , configurations ,,,,ALL !! I did not expected to loose the data...as i did not lost any data when i upgraded... but also i could not do any backup as i was not rooted so i could not save the app data etc... I am really sad !
Just hate this phone! Will try unlock bootloader and see if i can get root and update to MM.

So, by your guide i rooted with KingOroot the Lolipop.
Than the Phone got some updates by OTA and now i have the version B561 (all the log is in chinese)
So now i dont have the Root anymore.
I tried the recovery you have uploaded over, twrp 3.0 but when i enter recovery it does not askes me to update but only : reboot, wipe/reset , cache . (with emui logo)
so i guess i still dont have a costum recovery ?
How can i Root it with supersu if i cant choose the zip file with the supersu ?
doubt, and sorry for the silly questions :
- what is the better firmware? the asian version or the european ?
wich one should i use?
and, what about the ota updaes. how can i get them ? do i have to put the huawei recovery again after the root so i can get them ? right ?
and do the same procedure : update- installing costum recovery - root again and install again the huawei recovery ?
thank you !
waiting to root the MM as i have now unlocked bootloader.

Hi,
It seems it didnt install. Perhaps try again? Did you run the tool mentioned in the OP?
I'm not sure what the difference is between asian and european firmwares. I've jumped between middle-east and european roms, and didnt notice much difference.
If you are rooted, and you want OTA updates, you need to first un-root (can be done in the SuperSU app) and install huawei recovery, then you will receive updates.
Then you can just re-flash TWRP and SuperSU, and you are rooted again.

(SOLVED)Debrand c636 to c432

If someone tried to debrand L09C636 to L09C432?

Back up your data
- Unlock your bootloader
- Flash TWRP
- Root
- Use SRK Tool to change your Oem and cust files to the same version of the rom you want to install
- install your rom same version than oem and cust with TWRP
- Let boot completly
- Factory reset
- Then relock your bootloader with fastboot
It will factory reset again and you'll have a full official working device.
It should work just great. There are some tutorials on the forum just look at it.
Try the step by step guide in this link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l09c432b560-official-t3542546
I did it to get my L29C636B321 to L29C432B560 and it's fully working.

i was on NXT-L29C636B321 and i never rooted or flashed something else on my mate. (i only upgraded with dload method a few months ago)
For what i remember i did like that:
-Unlocked bootloader with dc unlocker and SRKtools.
-installed twrp with SRKTOOLS
- rooted with SRKtools or flashing with twrp i can't remember.
- backup oem and cust and then change it from c636 to C432 with srktools.
- factory reset
- relocked bootloader
then i've done the step by step guide of the B560 official from the beginning.
Everything works great. dual sim, mms etc...

My AL10C00 is running B577 and is well except the little annoying chinese characters here and there. I'd love to debrand it to L29C423 (EU) once and for all.
My bootloader is unlocked. Please advice.

Hi, IMHO flash oeminfo via TWRP, it will lock BL, then after factory reset :
1/ on MM - flash fullUpdate.zip from dload
2/ on Nougat - flash Service ROM from dload . What is your build number?

My build number is L21C432B504,
Can I just flash Marshmallow from dload and then upgrade to Nougat via updater?
Where can I get OEMInfo and ServiceROM?

Hi
If you want to unlock bootloader, you have to:
- downgrade to the first version of Android provided by Huawei
- root it with one of the dozens of one-click-root tools (personally I use Kingroot)
- do what mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/alternative-method-unlocking-bootloader-t3799294
- done :highfive:
Worked well with me, without problems

thanks for your reply
where i can get first version of Android provided by Huawei to this device

Do you mean stock ROM first version? Sure!
Only for dual SIM:
- download these two packages http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=79348&version=317012&siteCode=it and https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7aKdgGvGVwrRHBaNVo4VHdDVk0&export=download
- put JUST THE FIRST LINK's unpacked "update.app" file inside your phone's folder "dload" (if you don't have one, create it)
- shut down the phone
- boot up the phone by keeping pressed all the buttons (Power + volume up + volume down)
- wait until the process ends
- then delete the "update.app" from your phone and replace it in the same "dload" folder with the "update.app" file from the SECOND link unpacked folder
- shut down and then boot up the phone with all buttons pressed
- done :highfive:

Yes I meant stock rom.
Is bootloader unlock necessary in this way?
Thanks for this explanation, I will try it out soon.

No, they're official update packages.
Most important thing: you don't have to have TWRP installed (just stock recovery)

Hi
first of all, is your bootloader LOCKED? Do you have stock recovery (=no TWRP)? (I know you are trying to get unlock code, but maybe you had brick problems and lost code)
If yes, try firstly the easiest things:
Delete update.app
Delete dload folder
Reboot
Connect phone to PC
Download again with your PC the first zip and extract it (in your PC), and then copy the dload folder in your phone
Try again
If it still doesn't work, let me know

My P8 lite has locked bootloader (technically it's my mother's phone, I want to flash it with custom rom coz it's really slow and unusable on it's stock rom). Do the bootloader was never unlocked, I do not have a code to unlock it.
What's steps should I undertake to flash it successfully?
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root
3. Flash twrp
4. Flash rom
Is that correct? How do I unlock bootloader while Huawei stopped providing unlock codes?
I really appreciate your help in this post, thanks faby.

You have to downgrade it first to Android 5
Root it with Kingroot
In your PC, install this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 if you don't have access to ADB commands
Do then what mentioned here (after connecting your phone to your PC and enabling "USB debug" inside developer options in your P8 lite) https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...ve-method-unlocking-bootloader-t3799294/page1
Unlock bootloader with the code you got from the above step (just follow what written in the link)
Flash TWRP
(If you want, flash custom ROM or updated stock ROM)
(If you did it, boot the ROM and then reboot to TWRP)
Flash magisk (the safest way to get root)

For some reason I cannot proceed with rollback flashing. Even after deleting dload folder, downloading fresh file, rebooting the phone. Still stuck on 8%.

Hi
If you go to system information inside settings, what do you see as "Android version"?

Hi
"Rollback" (or downgrade) is the contrary of update. So, when I said "rollback to Android 5" I meant "downgrade from Android 6 to Android 5"
You can't downgrade because you HAVE Android 5, so you have just to BACKUP EVERYTHING (because unlocking bootloader you erase all data) and follow the step-by-step guide I have written above, skipping the "rollback" step :highfive:
Less things to do :good:

That's what I thought as well but I cannot get through the first step witch is rooting by kingroot. I'm just getting an information that kingroot wasn't able to root my device.

Hi
Enable usb debugging inside developer options, then try again until it works (cause it works).
If it still doesn't work, download Kingroot for pc and connect phone to it.
Else, try with other one-click-root tools (as Kingoroot, there is not much imagination for names :laugh: )
Done the root, the procedure is much easier.
