I did not buy the Mate 8 yet but being able to root easily makes me more sure about the choice.
1. Is there any good reason to change the basic ROM after unlocking BL&Rooting? I was planning to get root access for some cool apps (e.g. the firewall) and stay with the basic ROM.
2. After I unlock and root with "[TOOL] SRK Tool Huawei Bootloader/ROOT/Recovery/Backup/Utility", I guess I cannot upgrade the EMUI if there is an official upgrade. My question here is, can I return to locked bootloder&unrooted and upgrade normally if Huawei releases an upgrade? How?
3. Actually I’m not sure about to choose Nexus 6p, Mate 8, ZTE Axon 7 or LG V10, but the biggest screen and the biggest SOT aim the Mate, but since I want root permission without being expert and being able to upgrade if there is an official update I’m not sure if I should buy a Nexus 6p. Any suggestion?
Thanks.
I've just bought the mate 8
Hi, i'm about to root my Honor 8, with your tool, and I ask my self: How maintain my phone ?
My phone is under Android 7, And EMUI 5.1
I don't know if after the root, he can work as far as a non rooted phone.
How I can update it if a new version of Adroid or EMUI comes out ?
What should I do with ?
To conclude, I wan't root it, but i need some informations before. (working, updates, ...)
P-S: I'm using those tutorials to root my phone:
How to Root Honor 8 and Install TWRP and Xposed (xdadevelopers)
How to Unlock Bootloader on Honor 8 (xdadevelopers)
Is it good or not? Tell me.
Thanks to read / answer this thread.

Please ask yourself why are you wanting to root your phone ,??
There is no stable custom ROMs for us to use.
Why root your phone just for the sake of it ???
I really want to root and I am searching online since 4 days but couldn't find any clear information that i can fallow (or because of my lack of knowledge)
I don't care if i need to downgrade, or give up from "fancy" features. All i want a control on a device that i pay thousand $.
So my s8+ has:
One UI version : 1
Android Version: 9
Baseband Version: G955WVLU5CSC1 with BELL
I am new to rooting but big supporting of Open software, and idea of meaning of actually owning a device.
Please help, or any direction.
Thanks.
I have been dreaming there would have a rooting method since 2017 ( I got the same phone as you but from Telus - I paid off and now switched to Rogers). As far as I know, since our phones' bootloader can't be unlocked, we can kiss goodbye for rooting. I told myself that being a two years old phone, if there would have a method it would have been surfaced. This S8+ would be my last Sam**** phone, I am preparing to sell it on eBay and switch to something like OnePlus ( they are the most easy phone to root).

thanks a lot for your time. :good:

Is there a way to roll back Pie to Nougat and then root?
I've had no luck trying to get Safestrap running on an OTA Pie.

After you get safe strap you can then do some magic a hacks and acheive a rooted nougat system. Again you cannot root oreo or pie with this method. But it does allow you to do 1 of 3 options. Root with nougat and rev 5 combo bootloader , install a oreo system and rev 5 oreo bootloader, or install pie with rev 5 bootloader. As of right now all 3 systems have a rev 5 bootloader

That's great news. I'm aiming for the Root w/ Nougat and 5 bootloader. Thanks for the help!
Hi there, I just got my OnePlus 7 pro and I seen the root guide and have some questions.
I was wondering if anyone can answer my questions about rooting the OnePlus 7 Pro.
Currently I am on OSS 9.5.1 on 1917. This guide shows that I need to be on 9.5.4, but when I try to update the OOS it takes me all the way to 9.5.6.
What is the best way for me to root? Will 9.5.4 work for me since I am on something lower like the 9.5.1 OSS?
Any help would be appreciated. I have not used the phone yet due to me wanting to root it so I am hoping there is a solution

Search around the forums. Someone has posted a patched 9.5.6 boot img. That's how you'll get your root.
Here it is ?

I'm not usually an android person but I'm looking for a root or custom rom so I can install Xposed framework. The phone I have is a sm-g955u snapdragon on bootloader 6, Android Pie. Hopefully someone out there can help me find a guide or the tools to do what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance

for the 955u, you can either root + xposed on nougat, or xposed only on oreo. The guide can be found here for nougat:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...nt/root-using-odin-modified-firmware-t3693790
or this for oreo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206
So I can't do anything on Android pie? Is there anyway i could downgrade?
