Rooted, Bloatware Booted Makes P8 Max the BEST PHABLET I have ever owned

Bold statement, I know. I have owned almost every Note iteration and the Nokia 1520. Once I rooted the phone and removed the Chinese Bloatware, I am running close to stock Android on my P8 Max and since I have completed the above tasks, I have a smoothest and most powerful experiences ever. My Android Wear application is working so much better now than ever before. Thanks to all those who helped me get to this point.

Nice to hear that for you. I really want to buy the P8 Max too because it has the screensize I am looking for.
But before I buy one, I have to know more about it. What is the build version you have and how did you rooted it to stock Android?
And may I ask you to try one of the themes to see if they work on the P8 Max? I have so many concerns it ma not work because of the EMUI 3.1
It's this:

Good morning David,
I will add a new thread called Root and Remove. You will notice that I have posted a few threads in an effort to perform this exercise. But I have saved all the correct files into particular folders on my computer and will upload with a simple easy to follow guide. I need to pay it forward. I can tell you I removed all the chinese software, everything gone. All i have remaining in my Huawei folder is:
1. Settings
2. Videos
3. Themes (kept this and have changed my system font to Roboto)
4. Phone Manager
5. Files
6. Director Mode
7. Messaging
8. Clock x 2
9. Contacts
I removed most of the bloatware that was overlayed over EMUI. It is running as close to stock as I can get it. I also installed NOVA launcher and can swap between Nova, Google Now and EMUI 3.1. My Android Wear strength has also improved, making dropouts and reconnects rare as hens teeth.
Stay Tuned.
Michael

Because so many people assisted me in rooting my phone, I need to "pay it forward" and share their collective methods. Which I will do, most likely tomorrow night or over the weekend. Michael

To be honest I am interested in seeing your method to

Managed to root my phone.. even when I have updated the EMUI to B018, but there was an issue.. I tell you below
Step I follow from Chinese Forum below...
Preparation step :
1. download the tools from
https://www.mediafire.com/?9drsdo2f6hn4j34
2. Extract the content to your local. Note there are two folders :
- Folder 1 is for the tool that contains the TWRP recovery.img and the adb/fastboot tool,
- Folder 2 is for the original recovery
3. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone (either in internal or external memory of your phone)
Installation step :
Step 0, unlock your bootloader (search around on how to do it)
1. Since I am using mac, somehow I don't need to install any driver, but if you using windows, install all the driver yourself
2. Enable the developer mode in your phone, and after that enable the usb debugging
3. Turn off your phone, and boot to fastboot (in off mode, connect the phone with your PC then press Volume Up and Power Button together)
4. Since now your phone has been connected to the PC, go to that Tool folder in respective of your OS, then overwrite the recovery with TWRP with fastboot command (install custom recovery) *note : for mac just add "./" in every command
- check the whether its connected : fastboot devices
- install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Restart your phone and boot to recovery
- restart : fastboot reboot
- after reboot, turn off your phone
- reboot to recovery : turn on your phone by holding Volume Down with Power button
- Now you are at TWRP
6. Install SuperSU (root)
- Install SuperSU zip that has already been copied to your phone using TWRP (use the Install mode)
7. Reboot the phone
- Use reboot function in twrp
8. Profit
Theoritically the above things works but I have some issues following the above :
- After step 4, after recovery being flashed with TWRP seems like my phone Boot Partition is being overwritten too
- So when I rebooted the phone, it boot to TWRP instead
- So I tried to re-flashed the recovery with the original EMUI rom recovery (go to the folder "2.P8Max_Official_Recovery(For_restoration)" to find the original recovery.img). Also note that in the this folder, the adb and fastboot is only for mac. The one for windows use it in the tools
- This is done by going to fastboot again, then do command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- This time using the original recovery
- Now when I rebooted the phone, it goes to EMUI recovery, then I just clicked restart to system or something
- After this, everything fixed, and I have SuperSU install and phone rooted
You can follow the above, but do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone brick hehehe..

You should never post that information in a public forum. I would edit your post and remove everything about your phone's information like the IMEI and serial information. Send a PM (private message) to @rowihel2012. He has been helping everyone with the unlock code if people have difficulty.

Lenovo K6 VIBE No OS Installed, Only TWRP but can't find stock ROM

Hello guys I hope you had a good day.
I recently tried to root my device but it didn't work and got into a loop boot. Later I wiped /system and /cache and some other important parts [Because of my lack of experience with phones] , Now the phone is OS-Less. I tried to search for a Stock ROM for 3 days but couldn't. Now I just have TWRP. What should I do? I just want anything that works right now, no specific needs.
EDIT: I also have Fastboot installed as well.
Thanks for helping me.

That's why you always do a backup before doing such dangerous things, bre. You should be ok by following @firemax13 "restore to factory state" guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/lenovo-vibe-k6-note-guide-rooting-t3602763 (of course you should jump the unroot part and start at "turn the phone to download mode".

Well i guess if you follow it step by step there won't be any problem.If you get stuck at some point just comment here.And installing adb is just like the normal installation of any setup files in windows.Regarding the flashing of twrp there is nothing much to do than the steps mentioned above.If you still need a video go for this.https://youtu.be/kmq2Eyzl3wA NOTE:This video makes use of files for the sd410 model,so don't use the files in that video.Get the files from this post.This video can make you familiarize the process,but steps mentioned here is slightly different.

Internal Storage Files Missing
After I flashed TWRP and then entered it, it asked for a password to decrypt my storage. I didnt set any password for my phone so I pressed cancel after which came the TWRP menu. But once I selected the install option so as to flash the supersu file, I was unable to find my zip file in it. When I searched for solution, they said it was because my storage is encryted that I was'nt able to acces the data. They adviced to format data through wipe option in TWRP. But still no use. And to add to the problem, when I tried to reboot into system, I was left with a black screen and couln't get to the homescreen.
Please consider my problem and hoping for your fast reply.

Boot back into twrp home screen - WIPE- FORMAT DATA , after that, also from twrp , REBOOT-RECOVERY, after that, go ahead and flash the root file and then try to boot into home screen.

Place the root file on an external sd card.

I guess you have copied the super su file to external sd card.Formatting data as mentioned by jide1 did remove the encryption for me.If it doesn't work do advanced wipe with only the data,cache and dalvik cache boxes checked.Note:don't check any other box.Then reboot into twrp.Go to mount in twrp and see that your external sd is mounted.Now access the external sd card in install option and you will find the files of super su.

Flash twrp again ,disconnect usb cable from pc, then press and HOLD "volume down" AND "power button" when device vibrates, RELEASE "power button" WHILE still holding "volume down" , that should do the job.

1.UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
!If the phone perfoms a bootloader unlock, a factory reset will be perfomed automatically. So you will have to backup your data to a sdcard or to the pc.!
Step 1.1 and 1.4 are hanging together. They can be skipped with no worries, but I would recommend to do it. !THIS IS NOT A FULL BACKUP!
1.1 [OPTIONAL]BACKING UP PHONE SETTINGS:
1.1.1 Download and install Hisuite on your pc: http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/
1.1.2 Connect your pc with your phone
1.1.3a If you see a pop up like this,then choose transfer files and skip Step 1.1.3b
1.1.3b Go to your Notifications on your phone. There will be a settings notification. Press on it and select File transfer via USB.
1.1.4 On your phone go to Settings -> Security & privacy -> More -> and turn on allow Hisuite to use HDB (image)
1.1.5 The phone may ask you to trust the pc. Select always trust this pc (image)
1.1.6 Go to settings -> System -> About phone -> and press about 10 times on the build number.
1.1.7 Go to settings -> System -> Developer Options -> and turn on USB debugging (image)
1.1.8 Open Hisuite on pc
1.1.9 Choose Backup and select everything. Don't password protect it.
1.2 OBTAINING THE UNLOCK CODE
Everything you see below in pink does not work anymore since Huawei has officially stopped providing the bootloader unlock code on their website.
Instead please use this thread for obtaining your bootloader unlock code: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
1.2.1 Go to this website and press Unlock
1.2.2 Register a huawei id or login
1.2.3 Follow the steps until you see this page
1.2.4 Choose Since Emui 5.0
1.2.5 Fill out the rest of the information. (The IMEI can be found at settings -> System -> About Phone)
1.2.6 Press Commit. If every info was put in correct, A yellow message should appear saying: "Your unlocking password is: ..." Copy the code somewhere safe on your pc.
1.3 UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
1.3.1 Download Minimal ADB and fastboot for your operating system. For windows 32 and 64bit: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
1.3.2 install and open the folder where you installed it to.
1.3.3 Run fastboot.exe and adb.exe once
1.3.4 Go to Settings -> System -> developer options turn on OEM unlocking. If you do not have developer options do step 1.1.6 and come back to 1.3.4.
1.3.5 Connect your phone with the pc and turn on USB Debbuging(Step 1.1.7) and file transfer via adb(Step 1.1.3b) on your phone
1.3.6 On your pc go to the folder where you have installed adb. Open a CMD Windows at this folder(For Windows hold leftshift and press right click. Then choose open cmd from this folder)
1.3.7 Make sure that usb debugging is still enabled. In CMD: type adb devices -> hit enter. It should say your serial number with the status "device" (image)
If that is not the case, check if 1.USB Debugging is enabled 2. Allow Transfer files in Notifications.
1.3.8 type in CMD adb reboot bootloader. Your device will reboot into the bootloader.
1.3.9 It should say FRP Unlock and PHONE locked.
If FRP is locked and green, you did not enable oem unlock. => Hold the power button to reboot and go back to step 1.3.4
1.3.10 type in CMD fastboot oem unlock code replace code with the number from Step 1.2.6. Hit enter.
1.3.11 A window will pop up asking you if you want to unlock the bootloader. !Pressing yes will void your warranty and perform a factory reset deleting all personal data on internal storage.! With your volume up and down keys navigate to yes and press the power button to proceed. Your device will automatically reboot and perform a factory reset and reboot again.
1.3.12 Put in all your information, so that the phone is fully usable again
[OPTIONAL]1.4 REAPLYING PHONE SETTINGS
1.4.1 Repeat Step 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.1.7 and 1.1.8
1.4.2 In Hisuite press restore and choose the backup you have created in Step 1.1.9
2.FLASHING AND SETTING UP TWRP
2.1 FLASHING TWRP
2.1.1 Set a pin for your phone if you have not (lockscreen). Go to this thread and download stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img and this kernel
2.1.2 Move both .img to your folder, where you have installed adb
2.1.3 Do Step 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7 and 1.3.8
2.1.4 It should say FRP Unlock and PHONE Unlocked(image) => Step 2.1.5 . If Phone is locked and green, you did not unlock your bootloader => Step 1.3.
2.1.5 in CMD type fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img => hit enter.
2.1.6 type fastboot reboot in CMD to reboot. Do not close CMD window and do not unplug phone from pc if you continue with 2.2.
2.2 SETTING UP TWRP
2.2.1 Do Step 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7
2.2.2 in CMD type adb reboot recovery_ramdisk => hit enter
2.2.3 wait for it to boot. It will ask you for a password. You can choose whatever you want. I would recommend you use your PIN to unlock your phone. REMEMEBER IT!
2.2.4 Then this screen will appear. Swipe to allow modifications.
2.2.5 Press Reboot -> System and do not install the twrp app.
2.2.6a If your on screen buttons and flash are working skip step 2.2.6b
2.2.6b If your on screen buttons are not working => connect phone to pc and connect with adb correctly. In CMD press adb reboot bootloader to reboot into the bootloader. Then flash the custom kernel in CMD , by pressing fastboot flash kernel KERNEL_B360a_TOUCH_FIX.img and hit enter to flash. Then reboot your phone with fastboot reboot
2.2.7 !Read through this whole thread to check which functions of TWRP are working and which not!
3. ROOTING WITH MAGISK
3.1.1 Download Magisk v-16.0 from here and the uninstaller from here.
3.1.2 Connect phone with PC. Activate file transfer via USB in Notifications. Move the Magisk-v16.0.zip and uninstaller.zip to the root of your internal storage or sdcard on your phone.
3.1.3 Do Step 1.3.5, 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 . Type in cmd adb reboot recovery_ramdisk => hit enter.
3.1.2 Type in your password from Step 2.2.3. Press on Install. Select the storage where you put both .zip from Step 3.1.2. Search and press on Magisk-v16.0.zip. Swipe to flash. Then press on reboot to System.

I've tried to get the unlock code from the site for three days to no avail. It always just redirects to front page as there doesn't seem to be any unlock page anymore. So if anyone has any better luck with this please share

Yes I'm sorry that I am replying so late.
So noone really knows if it is going to come back, but here's what you can do:
1: Go to this site. Scroll down. Choose your country. Call the hotline. Give them the required info. They will send you the unlock-code via Email. I tried it with the German Number and they send it to me without a problem.
2: Try emailing the support from Honor or Huawei.
3: Try out this Thread. You will have to pay about 4 EUR ($5).

How long did it take for you to get the unlock? I just called and they told me it should take about two weeks

Try calling different phone numbers. Some are willing to give you the unlock and some not. I think they also don't know whats really going on with the site etc. But as of right now the 3 ways mentioned above, are the only ways to get the unlock code. Maybe the Unlock site at https://emui.huawei.com/ will come back some time.

Thank you for writing this tutorial, it's really helpful to have all steps in one place to know what to do.
If you could include how to revert back to the locked bootloader with stock firmware, that can be sent back to Huawei for warranty repairs, that would be great!
Best,
Chris

1. Go this thread and download the Mount-Magisk.zip
2. Move it somewhere to your phone. (If you are unable to boot to system connect phone to PC. Reboot phone to twrp. Open a adb window on the PC. In twrp go to advanced. Start the adb sideload. Press on cancel and then on back. Move the Mount-Magisk.zip into your adb folder on the pc. In the cmd type adb push Mount-Magisk.zip /external_sd or which ever path you like. )
3. Boot to twrp.
4. Go to Install and choose the Mount-Magisk.zip . Flash it. After flash press on back.
5. Go to Advanced -> File Manager. At the very top/root of your system should now be a folder called Magisk. Open the folder. The next folders also should include your Modules. Hold the folder of the module and delete it.
6. Reboot and everything should be fixed.
Let me know if it worked! :good:

Just to let everyone know. The unlock page is back. :highfive::laugh::laugh::laugh: Happy Unlocking :good::victory::victory::victory:

So if I unlock bootloader, and then root my device then i won't receive any OTA update anymore... but how can I deal with this situation in order to re-lock when it's OTA time and unlock again when I got it?
ps. No OTA means only no firmware or it means also no security patches ??

In case of Honor devices, to a certain point you are still getting ota updates. To check on the newest updates download the app Huawei Firmware Finder. Then follow the HuRUpdate Thread to update to the newest firmware without unrooting.

Issue Magisk FC , when you open Magisk , go direct on 'About' .
This will keep it open.
Some solutions should be on official section for Magisk

Hi! I'm currently attempting to complete step 2.1, but I've run into a problem.. I've completed all the 1.-steps and added the twrp & kernel img-files to the adb folder, but when I attempt to use cmd fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf-twrp-zxz-0.3.img, I just get the response waiting for any device, and then nothing else happens. Any suggestions?

Install Rom Stock 3.18 with Gapps support (google apps)

Install Rom Stock 3.18 with Gapps support (google apps), (Possibly works for rons 3.05 and 3.11).
Any and all software changes are the responsibility of the user. If you have doubts or little knowledge about these resources don't do it!
I am not responsible for problems or defects when using this tutorial
Make sure you have 100% battery
We will need a pendrive and an OTG.
The files for the pendrive are in the “Pendrive + Roms” folder (the update can be removed if it is not used, eg if you are going to install rom 3.18, you can remove the file from rom 3.05 plus the file from rom 3.11).
The complete folder with the necessary files (vbmetaDISABLE, recoveryTWRP.img ...) and ADB commands is: “ADB Nubia-X folder”, this folder must be saved on the computer for ADB commands.
The ABD commands will basically be:
• fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX616J
• fastboot flash recovery recoveryTWRP.img
• fastboot flash vbmeta vbmetaDISABLED.img
• fastboot reboot
Files on the virtual drive, link:
• https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15Nzaxe_94Z3LwpCX6WP51SIi1UCAxbec?usp=sharing
• https://encurtador.com.br/zQSW0
Link
Link 2
First we must understand that with the roms in hand, ZTE NUBIA website: Link Nubia, there is a process for the correct update. Example: if we are in rom 3.05 and we want to update to 3.11 or 3.18 using the original recovery, only the OTG (rom on pendrive) will always show an error in the 25% update, so for the correct update you need to downgrade and so the phone is enabled to update later. More precisely, let's say that we are at rom 3.05 and we intend to upgrade to rom 3.18 in view of this we must follow the following steps: 3.05> downgrade to 2.11 <upgrade to 3.18, remembering that it is not necessary to initialize the device between the firmware installations.
(all necessary files are on the virtual drive)
First of all to be able to start with the updates we need to have recovery stock on the device. If you are currently with TWRP you can go to the TWRP menu at: "Advanced" / "Glass Tools" / "Stock Recovery" and drag the bar to the side that will return ´for stock Recovery, if you are in Stock just follow the steps :
Restart the device with Vol + pressed to open the Recovery menu.
The menus are navigated using the Vol + keys; Vol-; and Power as the enter button.
Clear the cache and data: English / Wipe Data / Userdata Partition + Cahe Partition (back up the data previously).
Navigate in the menu: Choose Update Package, here already with the appropriate files on the USB stick, select the firmware “NX616J-update-2.11.zip”.
After updating, it will restart automatically, then press and hold the “Vol +” button and when the menu appears, navigate to: Choose Update Package and select the firmware “NX616J-update-3.18.zip”.
After updating 100% it will restart again, press and hold the “Vol-” button and this time we will enter “Fastboot menu”.
The commands via ADB (See ADB tutorial here on XDA), will be as follows:
6.1 fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX616J (to unlock the bootloader)
6.2. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmetaDISABLED.img (avoid partial brick)
6.3. fastboot flash recovery recoveryTWRP.img (implement TWRP recovery)
After the fastboot commands, we will navigate with the Vol + / Vol- buttons to the “Reboot to recovery mode” option or restart the device with the “Vol +” button pressed.
On the recovery screen select the option “Install” / sub menu “Select Storage” / “USB-OTG” / “Magisk-v20.4.zip” (I repeated this process 2 times)
Now switch on the device normally and make the first and basic necessary settings. Note: if the message appears that the device is corrupt, do not panic. Restart the device with “Vol-” pressed and follow steps “6.1 and 6.2”, and continue the procedures.
After everything is ok check if the “Magisk Manager” is showing on the screen, if ok skip to step “11”. And if not, repeat step “8”. (If the original recovery is restored, repeat step “6”); If a corrupt device appears (partial brick), restart the device with the “Vol-” button pressed and follow steps “6.1 and 6.2”, and continue with step “8”.
Device restarted and with Magisk on the screen we must install the apk: “GoogleLoginService.apk” by the file explorer.
Now again we restart the device in Recovery Mode (“Power” + “Vol +”) and follow the steps: “Install” / sub menu “Select Storage” / “USB-OTG” / “open_gapps-arm64-9.0-pico- 20200403 ”and the pico gapps will be installed (use the pico because I was successful with google services).
Now we restart the device and we will see the “PlayStore” icon but it still doesn't work. So let's install the apps: “microg_YouTube_Vanced_0.2.6.17455_28052019.apk” (MicroG) + “com.google.android.gm_2020.05.17.313130477.apk” (Gmail).
With the applications installed, we start the Gmail app and make the login settings. Upon completion, the “PlayStore” will function normally.
Optional applications: AuroraStore_3.2.8.apk; Solid-Explorer-v2.8.0-Arm64-www.ReXdl.com.apk; Split APKs Installer SAI_v3.12_apkpure.com.apk; YouTube_Vanced-v15.05.54-nonroot-default-dark.apks (YouTube_Vanced is installed by the “SAI” App).
This was the step by step that I did to make the google apps work without problems, I did it twice exactly as described and both times everything went well. The GPS bug does not exist and the Waze app works perfectly, google apps work very well, except google drive when using a .edu account, but with personal accounts they work 100%.

3.21 ok

Update:
I managed to do everything, but now have a problem with WIFI, its just simply won't turn on, what can I do fix this?

Hello and thank you so much for this tutorial and tools to add Play Store to the Nubia X.
I know it's an old thread, but there is now a v3.25 official (and probably last) ROM update on the official Nubia X web page. Did anyone install it using this method and is everything working?
I'm still on Mokee ROM and everything seems to be working fine, but since the main maintainer has stopped his (very good!) work, I might once try to go back to stock, just in case.
Thanks in advance
