Root for MT7-L09 B560

Hey all,
Has anyone tried rooting the new OTA firmware B560? If so, can you post which versions of TWRP and SuperSU were used? And if you happen to have the links to the downloads that would be great too!
T.I.A.

Hi, for twrp I've used the version from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3156779 for supersu used the version 2.62 from chainfire website. Installed twrp through fastboot, then in twrp installed supersu. I believe newer versions of supersu works too.

Stuck on Huawei Logo

Okay so I flashed TWRP with no problem, then rebooted normally. Powered off and entered TWRP recovery to flash SuperSU. It installs fine but then when I reboot it just stays stuck on Huawei Logo.
Please help!

SuperSU_v2.64_Pro and BETA-SuperSU-v2.52
what i did after upgrading to B560 ( from rooted B522)and loosing root is, flash twrp ,boot into twrp then flash superSu 2.64 pro zip in twrp , rebooted the phone but there was no superSu icon , i then went and install superSu 2.52 beta apk , rebooted the phone , then i opened superSu , it automatically updated the binaries and voila
ps: i reflashed the B522 stock recovery before upating to B560 with a full rom zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784
edit : i used twrp from @somboons app ,it is twrp 2.8.7.0 here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-beta-02-20160501-t3369990

My problem is I never make it past the Huawei Logo. So I have no idea if SuperSU actually installs. I have reflashed stock recovery for B560, but that still doesn't seem to help. The next step I'm going to take now is to reinstall the update package for B560 and then if I'm able to boot up I'll try your method. Wish me luck!

good luck mate , you will sort it out
ps: once you've manually flashed SuperSu , and click on reboot , Twrp will throw a message saying " you don't have root bla bla bla " , and offer to " root " , never accept that , ignore the request

i used twrp from @somboons app ,it is twrp 2.8.7.0 here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate...60501-t3369990

I used TWRP 3.0.2.0 from the package that Churdy linked in the main thread with all the different versions of software.
mega:///#!9kBWnY7T!ybhARn5UNXAyxrdQZ1ytKks24eCyzxkgdVhEza6zwFQ
I just had bricks from using genuine Chainfire SuperSU until I used the forum SuperSU Pro 2.64 which also comes with an unroot file.
mega:///#!0wITxJLR!S2iIVNjveSDMdne5QMNqd6so41vbTEK9tSJXJkOJJnw
I have not got Xposed to run properly yet though.

I'm freaking out!!! I can't get any USB debugging recognition, so I have no way of reinstalling the B560 firmware update. I have stock recovery now and my phone just keeps staying on the Huawei logo. Please somebody HELP!!!!

i use the above and it doesnt work. still no root eventhough it manage to install
i noticed during installation
it says
remounting system r/w
is this mean it fail to mount??
ok now this work.
before install supersu
go to mount menu and enable system mount
then only install supersu
--------------------
sorry to say i still cannot get full root. cannot go copy paste to system. it still read only. supersu not responding at all!!!?
i disable supersu ( the uncheck button) and exit. then launch again supersu, it update the binary successfully, and reboot. after reboot, i launch and re-enable supersu ( check button) then try to cut/past to system ...unfortunately unsuccessful

Maybe Huawei security software is blocking it from running?
Did you wipe dalvik/cache?

ok i go to phone manager and allow supersu to autolunch
now supersu works.

I just used the unroot zip and it worked. This is good as I can root, make changes then unroot.
Edit:
It seems removing root has allowed my file manager to still do root operations, possibly as it was already allowed root access prior to uninstalling SU. Other user apps cannot access root. I just put the Huawei Notepad app back into system/priv-app from backups folder in Storage. Permissions were ok without altering. All I needed was a wipe dalvik/cache in TWRP and reboot.

Unfortunately I reflashed the Stock Recovery and now I'm not able to do anything. I've tried adding the dload folder with the B560 update to reinstall the firmware, but it fails at 5%, with both the OTA update and the Full versions. I'm soooo scared that I have bricked my device. When I reboot into the stock recovery I get 3 options, Reboot System, Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition. And when I manually force it into fastboot/rescue mode the computer doesn't recognize the phone.
Please someone tell me that my device can be saved somehow! I don't know what else to do :*(

Which stock recovery did you use though? It must be the right one to work.
I found a flash fail at 5% was when there is no update in the /System/dload folder if you're trying to force it to do OTA. I did that by accident. Thought I bricked it but it re-booted ok.
If you use the dload folder in SD card, Marshmallow prefers to kick off the update from the dialler app.
If you used the wrong recovery, maybe it will flash from SD ok with a different ROM but we need to know exactly what recovery you flashed to it. That controls partitioning which you probably messed up.
See if you can re-install a driver and see it with ADB somehow.

this recovery works fine from me , i extracted it from B560 update.app.. hmm try and give B522 recovery a try then , put the update.app file in the dload folder and put it on your sd card root folder, then flash the stock recovery using recovery mate7 mobopx v2.1 http://depositfiles.com/files/dkok9h43y then use the 3 buttons trick to force install the firmware
edit : when updating with the full update , you only put the update.app file in the dload folder, nothing else

OTA update, rooted phone

Hello.
I own a FRD-L19C432
Firmware is B120
bootloader unlocked and rooted
Some weeks ago I got an update notification for B131
Because TWRP was installed, I ignored it for a while.
Then I flashed stock recovery to do the update.
Unfortunately I flashed wrong recovery. Extraced it from FRD-L19C636B120
I did not notice my mistake and tried to do the OTA update.
Phone booted to recovery, tried to flash, stopped saying that something went wrong. Can't remeber the exact error message. I think it said to download the update again.
Phone booted back to system. Still on B120.
Since this happend the update app says that there is no newer firmware than B120. No OTA and no full package.
I realized some days later that I flashed wrong revocery. Then I flashed the correct one hoping that the update app will show B131 agian. But it didn't.
I'm glad I did't brick the phone by flashing the wrong recovery.
But how do I get the update?
I already tried to download manually via hicloud. But I cant find B131. Did they call B131 back?

search for the update via huawei firmware finder by team MT

So, I finally did the update from B120 to B131 and I want to share my experience:
I downloaded the B131 Firmware from the huawei server:
Honor 8 Firmware(FRD-L19, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C432B131, Germany)
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92124&version=360419&siteCode=de-h
In the zip package there was the update.app and a pdf tutorial how to do the update.
I used the the dialer method
enter:*#*#2846579#*#* -> ProjectMenu -> Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade-> ...
I backed up my data, because in the pdf it says that all user data will be erased.
But that is not true. After the update all my data was still there. Update was successful.
But:
Root is gone,
Bootloader is locked again
So if I open bootloader my data will be erased. So good that I did the backup.

But I couldn't do that no matter what:crying::crying:
I try Upade.app in dload folder on both internal and sd card but I get error when I want to initiate the update
So please if any one knows a cretin way to go back to stuck, do tell

try to reroot using the method from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986
you need to flash your stock boot.img thru twrp to remove the superuser you use previously before proceed using superRoot or SuperSU from that thread. and try to look for your stock boot.img maybe you can find it in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/stock-boot-img-library-t3573312

Flash back stock boot and you'll be back to stock, as long as you didn't modify any of the other partitions (/system, /vendor, /product). And flash back recovery using adb.
Get stock boot by downloading your firmware from http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha
Then download Huawei Update Extractor https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Open it up and open update.app which you extracted from update.zip. Right click on BOOT and extract, same with recovery.
Flash back boot using twrp and 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to flash back stock boot.

You will have to flash back hw and public zips for your build. There's a folder (hw_init) in /data/ that gets wiped when you format data, it contain apps (system update for example) and the theme engine.
So you will have to flash back TWRP again and decrypt again if you went back to stock, else you won't be able to flash the zips. After that you can flash back stock boot and recovery, and you *should* be able to update via OTA.
Here's a little guide for getting HW and public for your build: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71302827&postcount=627
Also, question: What update are you trying to apply? It might just be that it's not approved by Huawei yet, and that makes it impossible to install using Firmware Finder.
And if you're trying the Dload method, it won't work. Only 2 offline firmwares have been released.
Edit: I should learn to read. So you're trying Dload? Yeah, that won't work.
I guess you could install your current full firmware using Firmware Finder, but for that you'd still need to flash back HW and Public so you can actually see the System Update button.
And that means flashing back TWRP, and flashing to /data requires decrypting, so you'd have to do that as well.

My Stuck rom is MHA-L29C185B110 and since I didn't find this one I extracted the boot.img from MHA-L29C185B126 and used it
I also download the public and Hw zip for MHA-L29C185B126 rom and flash those
When I boot up the camera Icon is gone as for Settings
but the update option is now avalible in settings and it suggest build 156 but when I hit quick update it gives me a popup that says Download failed

Hi there,
I am having similar issues, but the THIS in your post is just text? I am a novice to the Mate 9 and am trying to get my system update back It failed when I tried to go to B136 via FF

Use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-rebrand-chinese-al00-mate9-to-t3554656/page36
Rebrand to c636 it will be easier for you to go back to stock anytime,and faster update.

Thanks for that. Do I have to do a full wipe if coming from a MHA-L09C34B122?

Flashing missing SmartKey feature wihtout factory reset?

Something messed up with my installation so the apps of my "update_full_hw_spcseas.zip" are missing. Seems like there was nothing relevant inside but the SmartKey feature (and maybe the AutoShazam symbol). SmartKey is just missing in the settings.
Is there a way to flash the apk without factory resetting my phone? Found it inside the zip but my naive try to flash it with a TWRP-Template from the internet didn't work (data could not be mounted)...

Had this issue before. Better to start fresh from erecovery. Boot to erecovery, wipe data from there and select the first option to download and reflash the stock firmware.

Tried this erecovery flash several times in the last day but it doesn't seem to work wih my phone. Also don't get the official OTA Updates because my phone is from a different country (used Firmware Finder)...
So is ther another way to flash the firmware again (maybe dload or TWRP)? My "FRD-L09C636B380 FullOTA-MF" Update consists of update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip and update_full_hw_spcseas.zip.

Just flash the zips? In which order? And how do I pretend that the /data mount fails (if it does)?

Already tried this yesterday, as well as together with the public one. Phone was bootable in both cases but buggy as ****. TWRP finished flashing them but said something like /data could not be mounted. As far as I know this is because the encryption of /data or something like that.

I see. Try formatting data to remove encryption before flashing.

Flashing the update.zip already fails: check_write_data_to_partition, write data error
Flashing the other zips isn't really successful, as well. Other ideas or should I just rollback by dload and update everything again (4th time for me )? Got a B380 TWRP Backup without root if that helps

From the looks of it, dload is your only choice left.

some times the bootloadet will lock after big updates so better to backup your data and then relock again and flash twrp

Did you manage to update your system? I tried everything, always getting an error that the update can't get verified.
I have a rooted, unlocked twrp system on android 7.0 EUMI 5.0 (BLN-L21,Honor 6x)
already tried to flash stock recovery, remove magisk(root), busybox but I still can't update the system.
I would really appreciate the help.

Try dload method with latest furmware

You can do via dload only. Earlier i uswd to update just by flashing the stock recovery but recently on 6X this messed up badly may be volte and hence update failed and then it gave me to download the full firmware with prompt as your data partition is messed up amd needs to be fixed and after downloading the fill OTA update, got success. But then proceeded with debranding the next night

Hey brother, i tried many times to update from B360 to B365 (not full package, only 547MB) reflashing stock B360 recovery, but i always receive errors while recovery is verifying the package. I tried even dload method with .zip archives but i always achieve a failure and it is just boooooring :silly: You know other methods to try? Like adb or terminal emulator commands to update, or else... I cannot figure out how to correctly update my device. I have both B365 packages, FULL or partial OTA update downloaded. Thanks in advance

Cant believe you are facing issues now who helps every new user.
Nope bro. I still recommend to use dload only to flash full firmware. It should be full firmware and not the 547 MB.
Just to be in stock and use one of the app today, I relocked bootloader but then got the prompt as my data partition is damaged and need format. I allowed and then it was only erecovery and bootloader.
Then i unlocked and it went straight to twrp. And from there reboot to system works fine. I have the files and once really needed i will dload but problem with stock is that it doesn't have in-built call recording.
Edit-What is exact firmware BLN-L21CXYZB365?

Well let's say that looks like it's my turn now; Huawei mechanisms are much complicated sometimes, a little detail can let you puzzle an hour like and maybe it's only a joke. My previous device was a Samsung, so except common Android related functions EMUI is a new world for me. Only full firmware will work so, ok. Do i have to reinstall every app, or modify again my whole settings menu if i update using the full firmware package, i suppose..? What do you mean with "use one of the app today"? I didn't relocked bootloader because i thought that stock recovery could be enough. Overall, the risk to encounter an error like yours would be a bore, generally. Which files are you referring to, update files? My full build number is BLN-L21C432B360, I'm trying to update to B365.
However if you need call recording function (me too), there's a working method posted by an user in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/themes/callrecord-t3650864 that enables official call recording function from EMUI, check it. I followed this months ago on my BLN-L21, who had no call record at all by default in my firmware, and it flawlessly worked. I recommend it to you.

I was using Tez app from play store but it didnt work may be because i am rooted with unlocked bootloader and need to bypass the safety check.
For call recording, I am already usimg a zip since debranding and works fine. I have Posted in 5C repository. But we need to be rooted for this with custom recovery.
If you are rooted then can take twrp backup and restore apps if on stock and non rooted then hisuite.
As far as i have tested on my 5c, dload won't wipe data but still i would recommend to have full backup brother.

Surely I'll take a backup pal, i already got burned time ago and now i never do something without doing a nandroid backup bfore Thanks for the link, but i already have the FULL package downloaded OTA stored on my PC, so as suggested even by another user today I'll try again dload method but with full package other than partial one, it shouldn't erase my data and even if it should, I'll have a system image.
Only one thing now; in the folder where OTA was saved on my phone, as habit i found 3 packages; update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip. In this case, in dload folder on my phone i have to extract all the zips or only the main update.zip and leave the other two zipped?

Extract and use only main update.zip, put all files in dload and it will do.
Have backup but I just tested and flashed full B340 again on my phone and no data loss.

Thanks for the tip brother!

So this evening i tried to use only the extracted files from the main update.zip in dload folder; then, via ProjectMenu, i choose software upgrade and loaded the update after reflashing stock recovery for B360, that i took from your repository thread, since that time ago i didn't made a copy of my stock recovery before flashing TWRP. What i obtained was a soft-brick, i really don't know why on earth because usually it just fails at 5% while verifying the package and stop, it reboots to system... so i flashed again TWRP from fastboot and now i'm restoring my backup made today.
Crap, Huawei just CAN'T make things like updating OTA such difficult! I uninstalled Magisk before doing that, but i think that it fails because i miss a clean stock boot.img. Anyway WTF all these steps for an OTA is foolish.

I provided a guide how I managed to update my rooted device and keep all my stuff, settings and apps and reroot.
Just take a look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...rootet-h6x-t3684758/post74102863#post74102863
I already did two successful updates with this method.
If there is a question just ask in that forum.

Sorry to hear you that bro.
I myself flashed the same firmware yesterday to test this without backup (hisuite backup taken on 7th). I did via dload the same firmware and it was successful without any data loss, but yeah, I lost root, call recording feature that I flashed 20 days back.
I was planning to return to full stock because I know OTA will mess up if received on this state.
Not sure what went wrong buddy with your case. If it is due to any of the file in repository, I apologise for it.
