NO Root - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I installed the news Nougat update through Huawei. Phone was never unlocked.
NXT-L29C432B560
Since I wanted to try the new Google assistent, I follow this tutorial
[TOOL] SRK Tool Huawei Bootloader/ROOT/Recovery/Backup/Utility (STABLE - 20161002)
Unlocking the bootloader worked fine.
When I came to the point to install the TWRP, I installed a different TWRP "[Unofficial] TWRP 3.0.3-0 Mate 8", since the SRK Tool only had EMUI 4.0 and 4.1 TWRP versions ready.
First question: Was that correct to do? I tried the one for EMUI 4.1 and 3.0.2-0 as well. But they were not able to boot.
Also rooting does not work as I get the error from TWRP "could not mount \data...."
What am I doing wrong?

I am on L09C432B560. I used twrp from
http://sillanwali.com/downloads/twrp-3.0.3.img
I got into twrp, mount system and vendor. Then I flashed patched boot from:
https://mega.nz/#!Yx4h3LwL!XNdOjpo-J...j6opIqSemyqI80
I now have full root. Remember, this might not work with your phone. You should be prepared to reflash the stock boot.img of your rom if it does not work. The kernel version of this patched boot is Dec 28 16. If the date of your current kernel is after this date, you might still have root but not all functions of the phone works.
The above link does not work. Try the link in post #3572

For that, I need to root y phone.
Can you help me plz?
I rooted my v6 and 7.0 successfully.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4i/development/tool-mi-toolkit-v4-root-twrp-stock-t3170607
Not sure about the latest V7.1 as I am reluctant to update - why mess with something that works well enough...
Toolkit v4 does work on 7.1
Updated to 7.1.1 (OTA)
This one doesn't work for rooting:

TWRP on EMUI 4.0 (B820)

Hi there,
I installed the B820 update (EMUI 4.0) on my Honor 6 L04 with the stock recovery and it wiped my root access. Now I wanted to root it again and first install the TWRP recovery, but the Multi tool only offers me TWRP on EMUI 4.0 for the L02 and L12 model.
Can I use this too?
Did you try SRK Tool?
I dont remember which tool i used but it had TWRP for L04.

Thank you very much, I could install TWRP with it and flash SuperSu manually with it.
Now one problem left: My SuperSu app doesn't ask for permission when apps want root access and just denies them. When I put it on allow everything it works, but on "promt" there is no promt so I cant allow specific apps :/
Edit: Alright, found the solution: Open the Huawei App "Phone Manager" and allow SuperSU to start automatically

After install B560 with twrp did you do a factory reset? If you have not you should. After I upgrade to nougat my phone also got stuck at the first boot screen. I did a factory reset where the data partition is formatted and the phone works after that.

Honor 8 L19 B398 - I can not instal TWRP using Multi-tool? Error :(

I have Honor 8 L19. I was using Emui 4.0, rooted. I decided to update to newest version of EMUI and android. I flashed recovery to stock recovery, installet all updates. I try to flash TWRP recovery using Multi-Tool (v8 and v7 version) but i receive error. Flash TWRP did not finish. I still have stock recovery. Of course I have bootloader unlocked, I have enabled debuging USB, I have enabled ADB debuging during charging.
Maybe it is better to try with older version of TWRP? I tried only with 3.1.1.1 version.

Stuck at 4.4.2?

Hi guys. I got this phone yesterday and wanted to unlock the bootloader, flash to a stable lifghtweight image etc. First "WTF" came out of my mouth when I found out, that exactly a week ago - Huawei ended support for unlocking the bootloader. SO I paid 4EUR to DC Unlocker and it was done in a minute..
Anyway. After this the whole nightmare started. I tried several different images to flash it. Via fastboot, viac TWRP 2.8., via "push-all-3-buttons". Everything seemed to almost bricked the phone. None of the standard flashing procedures was able to start the phone into the OS. It has always somehow stuck at the boot Huawei screen. So maybe at 2:00am I downloaded a B127 stock FW (android 4.4.2 EMUI 3.0), copied the UPDATE.APP to a /dload of a SDcard and by using the "push-all-3-buttons" I was finaly able to get into EMUI recovery, upgrade the OS and start the phone into Android.
It was unfortunately version4.4.2, so of course I wanted to upgrade via OTA to either 5.1.1 or 6.0, but the installer said, that I am using the most recent version. Sorry, what? The Huawei Windows APP said the same. The only real progress I was able to make was to download a 2018 image from Huawei support page, which by using the push-3-buttons procedure "upgraded" the phone to 4.4.2 . In other words, it did nothing.
I have tried to use several let's say stock images from this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784 , but neither via fastboot nor via SDcard procedures were successful.
So is my Ascend Mate 7 really stuck on old Android without a chance to upgrade??
Huawei MT7-L09

Have you tried extracting the .img-file from the UPDATE.APP which you downloaded with Huawei Update Extractor?
This image should be flashable via fastboot. Be careful to use only those full firmwares.
