Desperate for a Root Method for my P8 Max

Hi all,
Well I love my phone, just love it! BUT having bought it from China, like many I am stuck with the Chinese Model and firmware. Huawei Australia have assisted in unlocking the bootloader, now I am ready to root the phone. BUT, I have not had any luck sourcing a root method for it. Can someone please PLEASE help.
I am desperate as it keeps booting me out of Google Play Services, rendering my Huawei watch useless (ironic huh)
Any help would be appreciated. Email me if you like [email protected]

That sounds to easy, only question, how do I do that? Is there an instruction manual or guidance anywhere?
I have flashed other phones in the past but this one is stumping me.
I have looked for some of these methods only to be completing surveys that inundate me with spam and phone calls, only to be left without the downloads that I needed. Did I mention how much I love my phone?
Thanks again
Michael

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..

Again, I thank you.

BTW you will get in a Bootloop if your dont know how to exit I would not root your phone!

Sadly, this does not work for me. I did everything you suggested and in the command window I get nothing

I know the risks ( I think)

Thanks so much for your concern, I know. But I love the phone but need to make it more Android (Google) friendly as it has Chinese firmware which keeps ending any relationship I have with google play services thus rendering the phone useless (almost)

The recovery img file link did you downloaded it?
You must download it and but the recovery.img file in fastboot folder
Then rename it to recovery.img.
And open cmd orders from fastboot folder .
Just type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You must download the recovery file into the same folder that you ran your command and in your case "p8 max root". Make sure that the recovery filename is recovery.img instead of some other names.

Hello,
I have twice but now I am stuck on the Huawei logo and powered by Android screen. I can boot into Stock Bootload but no longer TWRP
even though I have reflashed recovery twice. Just chinese language and the EMUI screen with the three options

I think it's time to unroot and flash a new system and do it like i posted, then it will work!

How to install TWRP into the LG P500H from Koodo?

I have a Koodo LG P500H. I am having a very hard time installing TWRP.
Firstly Play store doesn't work. It has this old thing called "Market" that has some apps, but not all. Market eventually gets updated to Playstore, but I can't even find TWRP manager. There was another app in the Playstore that I tried called ROM Manager. It said it installed TWRP for me. I restarted the phone, and nothing happened.
Restarting and Holding power/volume down/home will show a picture that seems to be some sort of recovery mode. But it only run for 1-2 seconds before the phone restarts itself. Nothing happens.
I tried to use ADB. But after rebooting the device it just restarted without ever going into recovery mode. So the flash command just get stuck at "Waiting for Device." Does this phone even have a recovery mode?
This phone doesn't support Odin.
I am used to using TWRP. Without it I cannot flash the phone into new OS.
And every single time I fail, the whole phone seems to have reformatted. So I have to enter in my wifi password and gmail again. All of that typing on a very small keyboard takes a lot of time. I had spent hours on this phone without getting TWRP working.
Please help.

The problem is when I reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), the phone will go into "phone off battery charging mode". It never actually goes into the bootloader.

Ok I did the following and it seems fastboot and TWRP works now. Be sure to enable USB Debugging on your P500.
1) Fastboot tutorial (I did everything here. I hit "ok" on the LGMDP 1.5 tool as needed. Do not wait till the countdown timer goes to zero.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15122833&postcount=100)?
FastBoot Tutorial
1. Please download this (or from here) file and unzip it in to any folder.
2. Start LGMDP 1.5 tool with the phone connected (you need to have USB drivers installed) and click on Select Port
3. A separate window should appear like the one below
Just click connect
4. Another window will take shape (LGE Mobile security) with lots of options (links)
Click on the first upper right Browse and select the folder in with you have unzipped the files. You will get some errors that some image, table or headers are missing. Just click OK and in the end everything that should remain selected is Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image.
Now just close the window (click on x)
5. Now you are back on the main window and here you'll have to click on Download
6. You are almost done and from now on everything should go on automatically.
NV Backup
Autorestart in Emergency\Download mode and upgrade the files (you selected on step 4)
NV Restore (the last step) Do not disconnect the USB cable until the restore is done
Wait for the phone to restart in normal mode (your current rom).
That should be everything you need to do to get fastboot enabled.

2) Install PdaNet+ (This was the only thing I did in this tutorial. It fixed the usb driver and the fastboot can then communicate with my PC.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350733
http://pdanet.co/a/
(Note: On top of Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image in step 4, I also selected the TWRP image file as my RECOVERY image. Not sure if this make a difference. )
(Note 2: I think you can also get the LG drivers here.)
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)
5) Type fastboot reboot
6) After the phone restarts, type adb reboot recovery. TWRP runs for me. Power+Home+Volume Down (3 button combo) also works now. (Previously this would reset the phone.)

Hey Man, im glad it worked. I could use your help.
I bricked my phone and need the restore file, Do you think you could make a backup from TWRP and upload it?
I would be super grateful.
Thank you.
Here is a zip with CM11, twrp 3.0.2.0 and Gapps for CM11.
Its the best rom I found.

Hi. What is your "brick" like? Does your TWRP still run? If yes you can just copy a custom OS into your Microsd card and install it from your Microsd.
You can also use ADB push to move files from your PC to the phone.

Sent from my MT2L03 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If you TWRP doesn't run, you need to install that first. Do steps 3 and 4 in the above post to boot into bootloader and install TWRP.
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)

Honor 6 - Unable to access recovery mode. Stuck at boot screen (honor logo)

Hi,
My Honor 6 (Indian Version) was stuck in boot loop post OTA upgrade from B822 to B831. In order to fix this issue, I went through many forums available online and then decided to use the Multi Tool to downgrade to Android L & EMUI 3.1.
To get this done I have followed the below steps:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY and SYSTEM files from the update package downloaded from Honor.in site. //(Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_C675B570_India_Flipkart)//
3. Used Multi Tool to unbrick.
Post this the phone is not able to get into recovery mode; it's stuck at the logo screen. It doesnot recognise the 3 button command to boot into recovery mode.
I have tried using the 'boot to recovery' command in Multi Tool but it throws error "daemon not running starting on port 5037".
I have also tried adb command but for some reason my computer does not recognise my mobile.
i.e. adb devices --> doesnot show my device. (yes, I have updated the abb drivers). So I am not able to use any adb commands.
Then i tried installing/flashing CWM & TWRP recovery. None helped. :crying:
Now I am here, out of options and do not know how to proceed.
Could someone in this forum help me fix the current issue? Please.
In addition, I would like to know a few things:
a. How to install a new OS/ROM on a dead phone? (Healthy hardware with corrupt software)
b. How to format any phone and start a fresh installation?
c. How to read internal memory of a phone which has no ROM or corrupt software?
I am new to all this. Please bear with me.
Thanks,
Sampath

First of all hold and press power + vol down to boot into bootloader mode and type
Fastboot devices
After connecting your phone to PC and opening a command window in platform-tools. Your device should be listed.
adb devices works only when your phone is already booted into Android or running twrp.
Copy and paste the four image files to platform-tools folder and fire these commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
And then use the 3 button command.
(Platform-tools folder can be downloaded after installing latest Android SDK software)

I am in a bit different situation, let me explain.
Till day before yesterday I was on B570 Rom, then I upgraded over OTA to B831, then Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, Installed Latest TWRP Recovery & Installed Latest Xposed Framework, everything went successfull & My phone is running fine.
But the question that arises to me is that none of the Stock Marshmallow update for Honor 6 - H60-L04 has been stable as compared to Lollipop Version & I found B570 super stable & the possibility of myself reverting back to B570 is more. What would be the procedure to revert back to B570.. I think first of all I would have to revert back to stock recovery & then flash the rom package, but how to do this successfully.
Kindly advice.

Thank you for your response. :good:
I have flashed all the files using the fastboot mode, but my phone does not recognise the 3 button command.
It either displays the Honor logo or restarts with a quick vibration. the only command it recognised is 'Vol Down + USB plugged into a computer' (for fastboot).
When flashed with Honor Custom or CWM recovery the phone does not recognise:
1. Vol up + Vol down + Power - for recovery mode
2. Vol down + Power - for hard reset/clear cache partition
When flashed with TWRP recovery the phone only recognises: Power + Vol Up button which boots into recovery mode; however this works only when connected to a power source, the moment I disconnect the power cable the phone switches off.
I tried to install Honor 6 custom ROM EMUI4.0 using TWRP. Need guidance on the below two scenarios.
1. TWRP only recognises .zip files. HONOR custom ROMs are in .app format. What should I do?
2. As a work around, I have downloaded 'Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Andriod 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C432B820_Channel-Others.zip' from xda forum and tried installing it, but TWRP throws a 'no md5 file found' error.
To address this I tried using WinMD5.exe to get the MD5 code and manually created a .MD5 file, but TWRP did not recognise it. Please guide.

You need to flash stock recovery first, by executing this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

@sampathnayak09
Make sure your power button is working correctly. If the files can be flashed successfully, you should be able to boot into recovery.
Honor firmware can only be flashed using three button method. You can search online for making .zip from .app but I am not sure that will solve your problem.

There are rollback packages for going back. I have read those threads on XDA but could not find them again. Will look for them and will send you a link as soon as I found one.

Thanks for the reply.
If I extract the recovery.img from the B831 Rom Package & flash the same using the below command will it give me back my stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And if once I am on Stock Recovery I hope I can again Install a full fresh copy of the B831 Package which will be with Stock Recovery i.e NO TWRP Recovery & root free. And after that when I get the rollback package I can revert back to B570. Pls advice am I going right or is there any possibility that I will brick my phone.

If the phone keeps going off you tried charging for a while? Battery might not be charging due to no OS.

My honor 6 bricked about a month ago so can not verify this method but to get out of bootloop, always keep a nandroid backup of your device somewhere safe.
You can make a nandroid backup using twrp. Save it to SD card and then copy it to your PC to keep it safe.

I was able to do as per the steps I mentioned in my earlier post & now I have successfully Downgraded to B570, With Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted, TWRP & Xposed Installed. So its time for me to change my signature.
P.s : Also Updated TWRP to the Latest Version i.e TWRP 3.0.2-0

You need to flash stock recovery first, by executing this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hi,
I did flash the stock recovery, but my phone keeps rebooting and doesn't get into recovery mode.
I am sure it has sufficient battery charge. (Close to 90%).
Is there a way to do a clean install on Android phones? Like the way we install Windows OS on computers. Format hard disks, create partitions and then install a fresh OS?
Thanks

Find attached below the required links for Rollback package & TWRP.
1) https://club.hihonor.com/in/honor6.217/downgrade-link-from-marshmallow-b831-to-lollipop-b570.7935
2) https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor6.html
Regarding TWRP, it lets you install custom roms & other apps which cannot be installed thru stock recovery e.g Xposed Framework. Further TWRP is useful for restoring the phone as it allows to restore the phone by using Nandroid backups taken earlier, provided the Nandroid backups are stored in SD Card. There may be more advantages which I am still trying to find out.

First of all hold and press power + vol down to boot into bootloader mode and type
Fastboot devices
After connecting your phone to PC and opening a command window in platform-tools. Your device should be listed.
adb devices works only when your phone is already booted into Android or running twrp.
Copy and paste the four image files to platform-tools folder and fire these commands
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
And then use the 3 button command.
(Platform-tools folder can be downloaded after installing latest Android SDK software)

If the phone keeps going off you tried charging for a while? Battery might not be charging due to no OS.

Any suggestions?

Give it a couple of tries. Users have suggested that it usually gets stuck somewhere but trying for 2,3 times gets the job done.

Let me know which Rom version is your phone running now & which version you are trying to migrate to.
Also if 3 button Force update is not working then you can try the project menu option.
But first let me know what state your phone is currently in.

Jeah, this metod will not work to anyone, who have locked bootloader.
But, there is bug, when bootloader is unlocked (atlest in fastboot its shows that its unlockd), but realy its locked.
Why there are this bug? i dont know, but its happen when someone try with dload method to fix phone, or when with twrp recovery are flashing official nuget zip. In developer options there are turned of option "alow to unlock bootloader", and thats reason why cant flash with fastboot thease img files.
So, at the end, this method will work only in certain circumstances, and not for everyone who bricked phone, due this bug .

Quick question, I bricked my phone when I did a factory reset and deleted internal storage and accidentally deleted important files while doing so. I flashed a stock update from the warehouse and completely deleted the system instead. I then flashed Lineage ROM which reinstalled the system but now causes me to get stuck in bootup. When I installed Lineage ROM, I got the following error.

Download the FULL OTA files on the last approved update you were and flash via HuRupdater method.
If you are on the Chinese variant, you can flash stock recovery via fastboot and then download firmware from there on.

Cannot flash RN7Pro

Hi
I can't flash my redmi note 7 pro.
Bootloader is unlocked: I did the procedure, there is the unlocked logo at boot, and Dev options says "OEM unlock: device already unlocked".
I tried the Pixel Experience way, I ran the command "fastboot flash recovery" under Windows (opens a shell window that immediately closes) and under Linux (nothing happens), and I also tried the Xiaomi flash tool which ends up with a "cannot find the file flash all bat".
Would someone have any idea?
Thanks!!

Thanks a lot for your reply. I'll try that as soon as I have some time.
Just another question:
I am running MIUI Global 11.0.4.0 | Stable (PFGMIXM) at the moment. Which is not the same as you indicated (I believe yours is Indian version dated 22 Oct 2019).
This page does not include any Global rom: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/violet/
And the Global ROM available on MIUI website under the RN7Pro page (https://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700360) is noted "lavender" and not "violet" - and I do not want to risk installing the wrong firmware, I've read a few topics and it does not ends well.
So bottom line: which one should I work with?
thanks again!

OK, I've found 2 options:
This one here on XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7-pro/how-to/miui-11-public-beta-violet-t3973921
(dowloading the "Fastboot ROM V11.0.6.0")
But it is 11.0.6.0 while my phone is under 11.0.4.0: is this a problem?
This other one:
Note 7 Europe V11.0.4.0.PFGEUXM at: https://www.leakite.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-7-pro-firmware-fastboot-recovery-rom/
It's not exactly the same code (PFGEUXM instead of PFGMIXM), I don't know if it makes any difference?
Sorry for keeping asking question, but I'd better be safe since I am very new to this kind of things...
and thanks a lot for your help and patience.

HI again
it still won't flash no matter what.
I'll deal with it
the reason I wanted to flash was essentially to remove all non necessarry stuff, which I did by following the "remove bloatware" thread.
thanks anyway

Thanks!
Based on PE instructions (https://telegra.ph/Flashing-PE-for-the-first-time-using-the-AOSP-Recovery--Or-updating-12-06) and if I understand properly:
- I download the firmware and Aosp recovery
- I enter in fastboot and connect the phone to PC, then I type fastboot flash recovery.img (in folder Download+Recovery)
- Then reboot into the new recovery
- Then Tap the power + vol up(2 times vol up) together once or twice and the AOSP recovery menu will pop up
- I then type adb sideload NameofthePErom.zip
- Then: Use the volume keys to select Factory Reset and confirm. ( If you want to format data if not just ignore this part )
- Reboot!
Am I correct?
I'll give it a try even though I don't understand why flashing aosp would work when flashing other stuff didn't... But who knows!
Will let you guys know anyway.

Also check the recovery in the extracted folder, I got a twrp recovery so I guess I have facee issues with flashme.bat (immediate close).
If u face that issue, download aosp recovery separately or from their telegram channel and flash using fastboot cmd and do the rest..
