Mate 9 Oreo Root - Help Needed - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Dear friends,
I own a mate 9 MHA-L29 dual sim phone. I have updated to latest rom, Oreo 8.0.0.0.361 (C432). I have unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp 3.1.1.0 .
I was trying to install SuperSU but cant find it as the data files are encrypted.
Is there any way to fix this. I am looking a step by step explanation from someone who already has root on same device and software...
Thank You,

Place it on an external sd (/external_sd) or push to /cache using ADB if it's available.

[SOLVED from FRD-AL00 to FRD-L09] Soft-bricked honor 8 FRD-AL00

I've an honor 8 FRD-AL00. I've fastboot installed and I'm able to access it. I'm also able to access eRecovery.
I've used SRK Tool to change the oeminfo and custom.bin. After trying to install the official L09 I think I bricked my phone.
Here are the steps I've done:
- Unlock bootloader
- Install recovery 6.0
- Root
- Changed oeminfo and custom.bin
- Reboot and tried to install a stock recovery.img boot.img and system.img (which failed while installing it) from offical L09 UPDATE.APP.
Current status: unable to boot either to recovery or android. what should I do in order to get my phone or install the L09 update or at least something that I can use? I've also used the 3 button trick with the dload/UPDATE.APP in the memory card but the phone doesn't show the loading screen it gets stuck into the huawei logo.
I've then tried to install CM13. I've successfully installed twrp-recovery.img but I'm not able to access it (button + vol down nor button + vol up).
Thanks for the help

Doesn't work, it gets stuck at the huawei logo.
After a couple of tries I was able to get TWRP installed so I'm able to access and modify the filesystem.
I've noticed that, for some reason, my phone has the "default.prop" set up to "ro.product.model=eva" shouldn't this be FRD's or something like that?
Can someone provide me a copy of their /default.prop file so I could compare?

Yes. EVA is another Honor phone. It can be caused of the process you did earlier.

This is solved and I'm successfully running a FRD-AL00 with the FRD-L09C432B120 (EMUI 4.1 + Android 6.0). It's a painful process and I only recommend it to advanced users since you can brick your phone. I almost bricked mine.

I also have the same mistakes. Help please ...
For now a moment there is no solution for those issues - the only way is to change back to AL00.
Before you do, please install HiSuite, this tool installs all necessary drivers as well.
1) Unlock bootloader and install TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
2) ROOT: Download SuperSU and flash it using TWRP
2.1) Power off, press volume up + power on
2.2) After TWRP loads, click on Install, select SuperSU zip file you just downloaded and flash it
2.3) Reboot
3) Debrand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZVsIKtdgV4&t=307s
3.1) This video shows how to debrand P9 but it works on Honor 8 (AL00, AL10, AL09 and AL19)
4) Flash new ROM
4.1) More info about ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/frd-al-00-04-09-10-14-19-differences-t3452924
4.2) ALXX ROM download: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...rk-tool-huawei-bootloader-root-t3470823/page3
4.2) LXX ROM download: https://www.androidsage.com/2016/12...rshmallow-emui-5-0-4-1-stock-firmware-update/
Hope this helps but please note FRD-L09 ROM running on FRD-AL00 phone is unstable.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Do you know if is there any hardware difference between AL00 and L09? What is the reason phone gets so unstable when you debrand to L09 and flash EU ROM?

EMUI 5 Honor 8 TWRP/Root Problems! Please Help!

Alrighty hey y'all! Just wanted to mention that I'm new to the XDA forums! Glad to be here! I have my honor 8 FRD-L04 here, and here is the problem I am facing... In EMUI 4.1 before the nougat update, I was rooted and had TWRP installed as my recovery. Then when I updated to EMUI 5 I downloaded the file via OTA, and then it took me into TWRP and installed it just fine. Now as usually, when I get OTA updates it always undoes my TWRP recovery and supersu root. So expecting this, I plugged my phone in, used the ADB fastboot and installed TWRP like usual, (following the guide on how to root honor 8 on XDA forums). Now, when going into recovery the phone just sits on Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.....(Other junk) Your device is now booting... and will never boot to TWRP. Doing alot of research on the internet (10 hours to be exact) I found a file that finally takes me into TWRP but I can not access my /data files, and it says error mounting /data, therefore I can not install super su, and it also says that my internal storage, sd card, etc is at 0mb...that can not be right. So I am a bit stuck, as of now I am going to attempt to rollback to EMUI 4.1, and if I am successful I will see if I can get TWRP to work again, but if it doesn't work I want to know why it's suddenly bugging out, and if it does work in 4.1 again, I'd like to figure out how to get it working in EMUI 5 because I like the new update! Cheers, and thank you all in advance

Thank you for your reply I have actually came across this article when doing my research, but it doesn't work properly for my particular phone and I don't know why. I guess I will stick with EMUI 4.1 and wait til EMUI 5 has official proper support.
Nougat seems to be working hard to block root on phones.
I have the same problem and would very much like to know what file made you able to enter twrp. Thanks
im on emui 5 with twrp 3.0.3-0, it will flash supersu, but will not root, i know its my version of twrp, but when i flash the new 3.1 version it wont boot

Update from B131 to B360 (EU Version)

Hi guys,
I bought the Honor 8 a few days ago. It was delivered with B131 (MM/EMUI 4.1). Unfortunately I dont get an update over the phone. So I am looking for a way to get to B360.
I found this method:
############################################
Download Honor 8 Nougat OTA Update for FRD-L09 –
Update.zip
Update_data_full_hw_eu.zip
1) First, download Android 7.0 Nougat ROM for Honor 8 from above and extract it.
2) Now create a folder dload in the root of your SD card and place the update.app file in that folder.
3) Now dial *#*#2846579#*#* from your phone dialer to open a hidden menu.
4) Now click on Project Menu -> Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade.
5) Now select and run the update.
6) Wait until the installation process is complete and then reboot your device.
7) Now extract the second file (update_data_full_hw_eu) from above and save all the files in the dload folder.
8) Now repeat step 3 to 6 again.
9) Done.
#######################################
In the description of this method it says that this is only valid if one wants to update from B320 to B360. As I am on B131 I dont know if i should try this.
Has anybody here succeeded using this method (while coming from B131)? In the description of the method there is nothing mentioned that root or unlocked bootloader is needed... Does this make sense?
Thanks in advance.
Greetz Ric
It should work regardless of the bootloader status. And I think you must be unrooted before trying this.

Hi, i'm sorry I don't really know where to ask.
I'm in B131 too, i'm waiting the OTA, but there is no sim card in my phone. Is that a problem? I don't know if a SIM card is required to get the update.
Thanks

Frd-al00's rollback is different from l04.
If you are in official emui 5.
I suggested you download hisuite in huawei website, and then connect your phone to pc, click system update in hisuite, you will see rollback button.

I have REBRAND AL00 to L09 by https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-honor-8-to-frd-l19-t3632220
Pls help me from L09 back to AL00?
I don't have back up rom AL00, only back up OEM info
Interesting discussion. so is 360 the only version you can do a straight flash back to in TWRP, or is there a newer version?
Can the stock rom be rooted using Magisk or SuperSU - can one of them be flashed immediatedly after flashing the update zips before rebooting, while twrp is still loaded?
Rommco05 said:
B360 is first stable Nougat for most models and I starting from this firmware and after update device with OTA. Yes supersu works, I was using modified supersu wich is posted in twrp thread by openkirin team and I always install them after first boot to rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, but if you flash back to b360, it doesn't take OTA updates, and I don't want to relock the bootloader.
The main issue I have with stock is the inability to turn off the battery charging LED - it really annoys me.
Help.
Been messing around. I'm now on b380 but camera doesn't work and updates don't work. I've lost twrp, and if I try to install it it fails, although my boot loader says it's unlocked. It's there a way to flash the restore from a pc if I can't get twrp reinstalled?

Eventually resolved by downloading rollback package and b331 from Huawei site, and putting the update.app from each in dload on the sd card and forcing flash.

Flashing Full Firmware *** [SOLVED] ***

Friends ,
I am using Honor 6x and rooted with TWRP recovery. I am on B320 firmware and model number is BLN L22. Indian model. Recently i got some issues in rom and decided to revert to fully stock unrooted.
So i have download B320 update.zip full firmware. About 1.6 GB. My question is how to flash it ? I need to go back to fully stock with bootloader locked. No more root needed.
I have just flashed L22 stock recovery now. So i have stock recovery and update.zip file.
Kindly guide me how to flash it without bricking . I am very new to 6x.
Edited at end:
Delete this post sorry i didn't seen the model number correctly , but the process is same find the rollback package out side.
They won't rollback like that ,u have to first rollback to emui 4.1 and then feom there go for latest emui. Safest method.
Here is the bll l22 rollback package

B340 is about camera performance improvement and system stability , It might be flashable using TWRP, you can try it.

It is necessary, since that you wanna be rooted. You can choose between Magisk or SU root method; Magisk is better than SU to me, it allows much more than SU thanks to modules, a systemless root and many more. If you choose to root with magisk, then the "keep vendor partition mounted" option is a thing that you can ignore since that it won't be needed. In case you'll decide to root with SU, please follow steps as stated in OP from TWRP thread.
Thank you soo much for replying..
But i want system write root..
Can we gain full root access with write system access via magisk
Yes u can get the full root access.
