Any way to root without installing TWRP - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone
I've just received my Honor 8 and I would like to root it without installing TWRP (or any other recovery than stock one) to receive further OTAs.
Is there any way? I tried Kingroot but did not work.
Thanks

I haven't tried this, but you should be able to do a systemless install of TWRP, root the phone, then re-install the stock recovery.

Hi, thank you for your answer.
I tried this. I reinstalled stock recovery (found in a UPDATE.APP file). But now, my device fails to do OTAs.

Does it notify you they're available, but fail to install? Or is it not seeing any updates?
I haven't been able to do much experimentation because there's not TWRP backup for my L04 yet, and I don't want to leave myself in a bad state without a restore option. I'm probably going to hold off on any updates (I'm on b140 now) until I have a fully working TWRP.

I had a notification and, when it did reboot, it failed. Now, it doesn't see any update. I am on b101.

Finally, I downloaded frd-L09c432b120 from here.
I followed these instructions: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68695798&postcount=2)

Steps are below, follow them.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img

I stopped there!
Rebooted my phone (no wipe done) and got a notification for an update.
The update succeeded (I'm now on B120).
But now, bootloader is locked again. So, it will wipe my phone when I will root it (locking bootloader first). So, I'm really looking for a solution to get OTAs on a rooted phone. Even if I will have to root it again, but without loosing lock on bootloader.

Isn't it possible to disable the device encryption so that you can avoid having to wipe it every time?

I suggest to not do any OTA's. For all we know, an OTA can make it harder to root.

The thing might not work with a new official release is the recovery. And looking to other devices that has not been the case.
Just don´t encrypt the phone as it makes much harder to update. Also might mess up the timed on/off function.

Rooting without TWRP must be really hard.

I know only one way of rooting without twrp and that is to use KingRoot or a similar app/software.
It messes up the phone pretty bad and makes it a headache to get OTA in the future.

Well root itself will cripple OTA updates. Using Kingroot is really not recommended due to compatibility issues. So SuperSU is the best choice.

I should have highlighted HEADACHE in the above post. With SuperSU or magisk, it's super easy to enable/get OTA again but not the same with KingRoot.
And the bootloader unlocked by KingRoot has to be unlocked again, using official method, to be able to flash desired images for a complete unroot.

Yes! I rooted it with Kingroot and tried to flash a custom recovery through Flashify. The recovery partition got corrupted and I can't flash anything to it anymore.

Rooting + Ota updates

Hey guys I will get my phone this week and I was wondering what these OTA updates are?
When I press update in the options of oneplus, is that it?
I wanna root my phone but I heard OTA updates might not be available.
So, are they available or not? Should I root the phone? I really need it but I don't wanna miss any oficial updates.
I hope I don't lose my root later or something!
OTA updates are Over The Air Updates, and usually they include bug fixes, new functionalities or even a new version of android.
I red in this forum that rooting the OPO does not void the warranty and the phone continues to perform the OTA updates.
Can anyone confirm?
If you change the recovery you may lose the ability to receive the ota updates. But, you're in luck, you can boot into a custom recovery and flash the zip file to gain root access without installing the recovery on the phone itself.

A couple tutorials floating around and I believe stickied explain this.

if you root the phone you can flash the updated file or any file for that matter. So to not root your phone to update it to the latest rom to then root your phone and put something completely different on it makes no sense.
Now if you are rooting just to keep stock and root - again you can root and flash stock rom from this forum.. Win Win for you

From my understanding not with 1+1 but OTA's are generally flashed via stock recovery and not custom ones. Question - what was your other android phone?

I had Nexus 4, Now I am using Nexus 5. I bought OPO to gift to my Dad and wanted to use adfree or adaway and give the phone as it is. But for them to work I need to root access. My understanding is once you put a unlock boot loader and have TWRP, then root it. I will loose OTA. I will not be able to flash the phone every time there is an update as he lives in a different country and I cant travel quite often.
Thanks

Instead just run "fastboot boot recovery.img" and flash the supersu zip from there.

What I have understood is we are just booting into default recovery and flashing the su binary. Is that correct ?
I have one risk in such case. I will not have an Nandriod Backup with default recovery.

Stock recovery can always be reflashed and you follow the directions as posted to the tee and yes you boot into recovery flash su binary and thats it. To my understanding you will be flashing twrp but instead of it sticking it just flashes for that session so that you can flash the su binary.
I would go to that thread and ask in there directly for those that have done it or google it. This is of course if that is the route you would like to take
I have received the ota & updated on twrp.No problems

OTA Updates, Keep Root?

I just got the 4.4.4 OTA update and appear to have lost root, i'm sure i can re root again when i get home.
However i'm wondering what people recommend in keeping root when taking an OTA update.
Thanks for any advice.

SuperSU has a "survival" mode you can check off. It basically tries to keep root after an update. Luckily its easy enough to re-root the One+.

You don't need a pc at all, you boot back into recovery after the update and flash your SuperSU zip.

I'm guessing you used a toolkit to unlock and root, right? If you haven't done it already, download SuperSU from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
Then you can flash it using the install menu in TWRP recovery.

Of course it works. Also guys TWRP will try and reroot your phone a well after a flash if it detects you lost root. Not for nothing but some of you need to do more reading before you street messing with your phones and leave them toolkits alone.
This is not meant to be disrespectful or directed at anyone in general but informative.. Read Read Read
@playya alright mate got my one plus one now. unlocked bootloader installed twrp and flashed super su. disabled update cm recovery on update. then did update from 22r - 25r then did 25r - 30O and obviously 30O - 33r I didn't realise that the update cm recovery would not stick after each update. so ive now tried to reflash twrp but command line says writing recovery ok and finished but checked on phone and its not there? any ideas do I need to unlock bootloader again which I doubt. but not sure if flashing update would also relock?? cheers

If you have root and a custom recovery you shouldn't be taking an OTA in the first place.

[Question]Updating rooted phone without messing up the phone?

Hi,
TL-DR; I rooted my phone, and want to update with minimal loss of data.
Sorry for this newbie question but I really couldn't figure out everything and wanted to confirm before proceeding.
I have MHA-L29C185B138 and rooted step-by-step via the instructions on this link:
HOW TO ROOT YOUR MATE 9 with Decrypted Data in TWRP without needing a patched Boot.img
I want to update. What should I do? I isntalled Firmware Finder and downloaded MHA-L29C185B172 FULLOTA-MF. (downloaded all 3 files)
I couldn't find a complete tutorial for rooted roms. Read different and partial recommendations on different threads. Somewhere I read that I need to restore my boot and recovery partition before update. I backed my boot partition as it was a step in rooting guide but I didn't back up my recovery partition.
So could you please point me a beginner friendly guide that explains step by step updating rooted mate 9?
Thanks in advance.
I bump up this question as I'm interested in that answer also

Updating and keeping root is basically not possible, as far as I know.
Regardless of installation method, your phone will be re-locked and wiped when new firmware is installed on a rooted phone.
Same question from me as well. I rooted using the method in the link and I wanted to update to C185B172. No idea what's the safe proof way. As this is my daily driver and only phone I can't risk messing with it.

Whenever you update you have to start all over again with the same process you originally rooted with. Like @duraaraa said your bootloader gets locked back down and your recovery gets flashed to stock. So you have to unlock bootloader, then install TWRP, format your data so that you're unencrypted and flash the public then HW data files for the specific firmware you updated to. Basically follow the steps in the root method you initially used. This has to be done everytime

Yes sir. But remember if you're rooted with TWRP you will have to flash stock recovery first before you can even think about updating or taking an OTA otherwise​ it will fail.

Thanks for clarifying but the original question of OP hasn't been answered yet. Where to get the recovery.img from?
I downloaded the full package from firmware finder and extracted everything with 7zip, I found 2 different recovery files with same file size but different content in it.
recovery_a.img and recovery2_a.img
Which one should I use ?

Sorry about that, you want to use the RECOVERY.img not recovery2. You fastboot that img and you will have stick recovery, and it will place it in the correct spot so need to worry about where you would need to flash it to. Hope that helps

Another upgrade question..

So, I'm on B380 since febuary or march (L09C432), and I think my battery stinks. It was way better before upgrading to Emui5. I haven't had the time to fix it but no I do. Just can't remember the "rules".
I'm no unlocked, Twrped and rooted. In System update I can download B389. But, will this work? Can I install it just like that? Will I loose Twrp and/or root?
I don't have a computer with me atm so I have no way of undoing the upgrade if I start it, thats why I want to be sure.
Thanks a bunch in advance guys!

were u rooted at b380?
if so, which root?
Since there is already B394 and some reported B398 coming I would wait a bit longer to update your device. And since you have twrp it's either flashable through it or you must first unroot your device, second fastboot stock recovery.img (don't forget recovery2.img) and then finally update via system update or dload. IF you are not familiar with the methods or the process please use search function on this website.

But upgrade can
Ok so I ended up downgrading to B131 and from there I upgraded via System Update to B389.
I have installed TWRP, no problems there. But I cant get SuperSU to work.
Running TWRP 3.0.3.0 and tried flashing SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0 (which is what i think i used before). No luck. SuperSU app says "no binaries". So then I tried to mount system partition in TWRP and install Supersu again. Made no difference.
I have also tried flashing a newer version och SuperSU, but that didnt help.
So, what am I missing guys?

Team MT's Huawei Multi-Tool – Works with Honor 10 !

Hey Folks,
I recently stumbled upon Team MT's quite useful Huawei Multi-Tool – but didn't find anything about it in the Honor 10 Forum although it's compatible!
First of all I have no connection to Team MT at all, so this thread is just about the usefulness of the Tool and what you and I might experience using it.
Also I'm not responsible for any damages/issues caused by this tool.
The tool might come in handy for people that are uncomfortable using cmd/terminal commands or get confused too easily.
Of course there are still a lot of things that could go wrong so if you're not sure what you're doing or what the consequences might be, just don't flash anything.
To use the Multi-Tool, you'll have to have your bootloader unlocked and the phone connected to your pc with adb installed.
When the tool shows you the (right) phone model in the lower right, you're good to go.
With the help of the Multi-Tool, you can
ROOT your Honor 10 with Magisk
flash TWRP
flash STOCK RECOVERY
unlock various small features
All with just a few clicks.
You can download it at Team MT's website:
http://pro-teammt.ru/huawei-multi-tool/
I for instance used it to flash the stock recovery after I had installed TWRP, so I could get regular OTA updates through the system again.
I'm curious to see if there are other people that have used the tool as well or what people that just heard of it now will use it for.
Is an unlocked bootloader required for the tool to root the phone and flash custom recovery?

The Stock recovery just appeared inside the Multi-Tool, where I was able to download and flash it, I didn't download or back up anything beforehand.
Isn't there some dropdown menu where you can choose the recovery to flash?
I've been flashing it onto my COL-AL10 AND my L29, so it works either way.
