As the title says would it be possible? I have a huawei honor 8 which I badly need to root so that I can WiFi Tether again...
I have rooted in the past using PC's however the only internet I have right now is from my phone and I will most likely not have any other internet connections apart from this for a long time.
I have seen various videos on how to root using a PC but I cannot do this and won't be able to
Please, if anybody can shed some light I will be so grateful!

You have to have a PC to unlock the bootloader on this phone. Theoretically, you could do everything you need internet access for on the phone. (Download files, get unlock code, ect.) Once that is done, you transfer those files to the PC over USB. I would suggest printing out the root guide so you can have that in front of you. Then you should be able follow step by step and root your Honor 8.
Short answer: No, you need a PC but, in theory, that PC does not need internet access.
Turn on the wireless hotspot feature of your phone and connect your PC using WiFi to download the files.
Is there a safe way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader?

Im looking to root but without wiping my One S and I cant seem to get it. Towel Root doesn't work and neither does framaroot. Toolkit programs to do it via PC end up requiring bootloader unlock which will wipe the phone, but I simply just want to root. Htc QuickRoot tool says my phone is patched so that much im aware of. Im just wondering if any other methods have been introduced to help with this. Thanks.
I've been wondering the same thing, I don't have a pc so my options are none right now
I'm getting close to getting a new phone, and there is specific data from my Motorola Photon Q that I want to move onto my computer to put onto my new phone, but all the websites and searches for ways to root this phone say I have to unlock the bootloader, which in turn means I also have to delete all the data from my phone.
Is there a way to root my phone without having to delete all the data or unlock the bootloader?

When you rooting photon q or unlock bootloader you dont loose anything, some one wrote somewhere a bulls...
you dont lose anything from your phone, only flesh to stock or wipe / factory reset cause this not unloading bootloader or root
It is in fact, possible to root the Photon Q without unlocking your bootloader. It's called Towelroot. I did that, and it worked perfectly.

No, Root and TWRP require a USB connection with a laptop/PC.
Is there a way to root without a computer? If not what is the easiest root method? I used to root phones all the time but recently I have been getting the newest phones so there's no devolpment (and it was Samsung lol). I have a work computer but it's pretty locked down on what I can and can't download. Thanks in advance!
AFAIK, you can't root without a computer.
Download whatever you need on your phone, tools and stuff, get to that work computer and copy all of it there, root the phone and delete afterwards.

Get an old cheap laptop.
You want a computer to root.
Hello,
I moved the screenshot folder from my phone to the PC (with mtp mode ), and many photos were lost.
I have used diskdigger. Without root, it only has a basic scan .It's not enough.
I want to get root with Magisk, I searched that it needs to Unlock Bootloader, which will clear the data.
Dose anyone have a solution that can Unlock Bootloader without erasing data or other ways to get root? Can I install Magisk if I don't Unlock Bootloader? Thank you.
