I succesfully rooted a Huawei Ascend Y100 (U8185) using the method describe in this page.
hope this help anybody cause i try several methods before and none of them work for the task because i dont want to flash a de-branded firmware in the device.
I found the solution in a blog unfortunately i can't post any link neither to post in HTCmania or the blog.
Just follow the instrucctions in the zip file and then you'll got your device rooted
The Huawei Ideos U8185 can easily be rooted due to the open and easily accessible bootloader. To root the device follow the simple steps below.
Download ZIP from any of the links below
Unzip the files
Plug in the phone and install the drivers form the CD ROM (Mobile Partner) found in the drivers/adb_drivers directory.
Wait for all the drivers to install then continue with the process.
THIS PROCESS REPLACES THE ORIGINAL RECOVERY. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Replace the original RECOVERY with the one I've provided.
Open CMW 5 folder and copy Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to the SD Card.
Switch off the phone.
Boot into bootloader using volume down + power button for 5 sec.
Once in the bootloader, plug in the phone to the computer and let the drivers install.
In the CMW 5 folder, run install-recovery-windows.exe
(use the different variations depending on the operating system)
Once done, remove the battery to power off the phone.
Boot into recovery using volume up + power button for 5 sec
Navigate to "install zip from sd" and select it
Select "choose zip from SD card" and select the provided Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip that you copied to the SD Card
After install, the phone is rooted.
Reboot the phone and enjoy root

how i replace the RECOVERY? and where is the recovery you provide? sorry its my first time. please help me
If I root and flash CM9 - will I be able to use any sim?
Probably a dumb question, but if the phone is locked to one providers sim card when I bought it, will rooting it negate the need to unlock it? If I change the ROM to CM9 for example?
Thanks

hi
i have an honor 7 from switzerland and i tried to install on him the PLK-AL10 6.6.1 - B651 full, ofcurse the instalation was stuck on 19% and i can't go to recovery,
what i can do to fix these?
thanks
update, i can't get the product ID (to find this, open the dialler and enter *#*#1357946#*#*) - cause i don't have dialer..and system....
what you advice me to do next?
First of all, I would guess you have a model PLK-L01, not AL10. Anyway, we need more information if we should help you. What does "can't go to recovery" mean exactly? What have you tried? What happens and what does not happen when you try? What happens when you connect the phone to a PC ?
Not sure if of any use, but try to connect the phone to a PC via USB Cable, then press volume UP and Power to boot into eRecovery, a second (and I think identical) recovery. Maybe that works? If you make any progress, try the Honor 7 MultiTool.
Let us know if you can make any progress.
yes its PLK-L01
i worked on the day with these and finally what i did is that i put the update.app into the micro sd card and than start the device + vol up+vol down and than the device probebly tooks the update.app that i add to the sd card and installed him correctly.
the case was that i probebly install at the first time locally version for AL10 and than i start MultiTool but the multitool request to open the bootloader in order to install the bootloader something that needs the productID that i can get if i have a dialer and enter *#*#1357946#*#* but i don't have any dialer since i don't have any system so...i don't know how, but it's worked as i wrote from the sd card
So you managed to install the UPDATE.APP package??
yes

Just don´t forget, if you root the device, you must first unroot, flash stock recovery.img and boot.img and THEN update to whatever stock ROM version available.

As a start, this phone is great and I feel that it doesn’t need to be unlocked and rooted for a stable and long lasting daily use. However, unlock and root is almost a religion if you use Android phones
As a piece of info, big thanks to @raimondomartire, there is a thread for unlock, flash TWRP and root in the Mate 9 forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976, which is however according to my experience not totally applicable for the M9Pro anymore. There are also several other threads on the Mate 9 forum. Many things can be shared between both phones, but not always. Be careful about what you are doing!
-----
General info and attentions:
- My phone is M9Pro LON-AL00 (All net version from Chinese Mainland); LON-L29 (International version) should also work.
- This thread applies for build LON-AL00C00B213. Can be also applicable for similar builds, but I couldn’t test. Please report.
- None of the current builds of TWRP (up to 3.1.0) can decrypt data partition by default, which means you could only format the data partition in TWRP in order to access it in recovery (for backup to and install from internal storage etc.). But after formatting, you have to flash Huawei’s special stock data back to data partition (/data/hw_init), otherwise several functions of Huawei ROM won’t work. Refer to this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71302827&postcount=627) or this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72497328&postcount=204). Thanks to @gm007 and @ante0
- There are several root methods which handles encrypted or decrypted data partition. I didn’t format the data partition, i.e. data is still encrypted. If you want to format the data partition, please refer to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986. Thanks to @eddmecha
- If you need stock ROM, refer to useful links below. Use Huawei Update Extractor to extract the individual partitions from the ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

Unlock bootloader:
There is enough info in the internet about unlocking M9Pro’s bootloader. Just a few points to mention:
- Generally, you can follow the steps in @raimondomartire thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976). But unlike he describes in his thread, there is no OEM Unlock options in the developer options anymore. Just use ADB to unlock.
- FRP unlock is not required!
- Huawei enables now a 14-day limitation, where you can officially get the bootloader unlock code 14 days after you first activate your Huawei ID on your phone and have logged in using your Huawei ID 14 CONSECUTIVE days.
- To go around this limitation, you can use dc-unlocker to get the bootloader code immediately. Google yourself
-----
Flash TWRP:
- Still, you can follow the steps in @raimondomartire thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976).
- The image from this thread is 3.0.3, which has some bugs built in, especially when flashing SuperSU.
- You could use TWRP 3.1.0-1 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617, but this one seems to have problem to be recognized as ADB device in recovery.
- There is a version 3.0.2 for Mate 9, which seems to have problem mounting USB-OTG.
- If your data partition is encrypted, you can only use ADB sideload or USB-OTG to install anything.
- If you want to do data wipe in TWRP, you have to flash Huawei’s special stock data back to data partition. See above general info and attentions.

Root:
Firstly, thanks to @ante0 for explaining different flags in the root methods: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72504501&postcount=210. Some more discussions between us are also around this post.
I also tried several other root tools on the market (mobilego, vroot, YoRoot, OneClickRoot, iRoot etc.), NONE of them works.
As mentioned, there are different root methods around for unlocking M9Pro, depending on if you want to format your data partition. For me, I didn’t format, and SuperSU works for me. And the mate_9_pro_root.zip from @raimondomartire thread didn’t work for me.
I followed the steps below:
1. Get TWRP 3.1.0-1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617)
2. Disable fingerprint ID (I think it’s probably optional, but have read somewhere that fingerprint stops working after flashing root).
3. Flash stock boot image for B213D (in download section). I think it’s optional too, but if you have tried other methods before, you can do this step to make sure your boot is stock and clean
4. Flash TWRP 3.1.0-1
5. Flash SuperSU-v2.79-MATE9-init.d_support_no_decrypt-signed.zip (in download section) via USB-OTG (in TWRP the device is not recognized as an ADB device, hence no “ADB sideload”). Thanks to @ante0 for building this zip!
6. Reboot – phone will reboot itself twice and SuperSU.apk will be installed automatically
7. You could flash back to 3.0.3, if you want the ADB sideload function.

Enjoy your Mate!
Just some clarification: (eventhough you wrote it's for AL00C00B213, which I missed xD)
Flashing stock boot is only needed if you're already rooted.
Boot image B213D is only for AL00C00. If you have a different model/build, use the boot image for that specific build:
Download your stock firmware from hwmt.ru and Huawei Update Extractor. Extract update.app from your firmware zip.
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor. Rightclick on BOOT and click on Extract selected.
Flash the extracted boot.img using fastboot in download mode (fastboot flash boot boot.img).
OEM Unlocking is required to be enabled. It's just not there in the chinese version (AL00). So check if it's there first and enable if it is.
Hi guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but how do I get rid of that annoying "your device is unlocked and can't be trusted....etc " msg?
I have a mate 9 pro and I want to flash twrp and to root it. I did it for some one plus, xiaomi, samsung so I have some experience. reading xda posts about the case of M9pro I understood that is not a simple path and I dont want to hard brick the phone. what precautions should I take?

any OTA after?
hi guys. You may or may not find this interesting. I certainly did. I'll post this in the mate 9 pro forum as well but i just thought i could get some ideas from as many of guys as possible seeying that theres a lot more posts here for mate 9 in general.
I have chinese version mate 9 pro that has been rebranded from AL00 to LON Spcseas and rooted. Build number b228. Anyway i recently saw in FF the new b229 so i downloaded all three files which had longer file names than usuall by the way. In twrp, the only file that was visable was the update.zip. So i renamed the hw and public zip files to what they would usually be named. Wiped data, and flashed all three files. Then reflashed supersu.
This is the interesting bit ( i think ). My imei numbers have changed, before flashing, the first imei number ended in 7 - now it ends with 4, the second imei number ended in 9 and now it ends with 7. Also, i now have a MEID number visable which was not there before and a section called android security patch level. Oddly enough im not getting any issues out of play store, im on play store right now and not a single problem regarding authentication. The build number is the same as well. As far as functionality goes, everything seems to be tip top, in fact everything seems to be working better, even unofficial exposed is working well. Only one thing isn't working properly. In phone manager there was a feature in the battery section that darkens the interface for everything to save power and prolong battery. That doesn't seem to be working anymore. In App - Permissions, the permissions is greyed out and it says no permissions requested.. Any thoughts or explenations guys??
Trying to flash another orginal stock rom
I bought a Mate 9 Pro, China Version (LON-AL00C00) want to install Mate 9 Pro, Asia Version (LON-L29C636) software on it. All explanations about Mate 9 Pro is for models which have SD Card. My Mate 9 Pro with dual sims and not containing a SD Card enrty.
I succesfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP but couldn't flash LON-L29C636 stock software. Because TWRP don't see update.zip file. Not only update.zip, any files I downloaded or copied before. When I put a OGT TWRP suddenly exits and phone restarts.:crying:
As you see I can't flash a zip file and ofcourse superuser zip file to root as well. I'm stuck in this triangle. Please give me a hand guys.
I can't root my phone. Because I can't view and locate any file of my phone. When I plug a ogt cable twrp exits and phone restarts. 6GB-128GB Dual Sim version

I unlocked bootloader but couldn't root. Anyway I wanted to rebrand my phone to Asia version. Now I'm done but not successful because there is no Google,frp locked, and version is test one.
I can't install twrp because frp lock don't allow it. Also twrp can't read 128 GB internal memory, so I needed to install from pc.
Is there anyway to resolve and install stock Oreo version to my Mate 9 Pro or do you suggest me to resolve it via paid services?

I've installed Oreo to Mate 9 Pro. If you have 128GB edition don't try to install anything from internal storage. That's it.

Rebranding is easy with HWOTA system if you will keep your phone EMUI 5.0 Nougat. And there is no risk if you make everything clearly.

Yes you can always flash stock ROM as factory out, if you are not in Oreo.
And you can root it. It's your own protection to have a backup. I suggest you have, anyway it's up to you. You can loose all your data after root.
Hi, yersterday I used TWRP trying to install a newer firmware and I wiped system partition and now it does not boot because it doesn't have an OS. I was on EMUI 8 (636) trying to update the firmware.
Is there any way to flash a firmware via TWRP or Fastboot on EMUI 8 (i know partition names change on Oreo).
Thanks!
I just bought a Huawei Mate SE which is a newer phone that looks like the Honor 7x. I've noticed whenever I search for Huawei Mate Se custom roms, recoveries, and even stock roms I only find Mate 9 stuff and find my self desperate with no support of root, and anything else. I found an article called "How to : Huawei Mate SE Root & TWRP Recovery" , and I successfully unlocked the bootloader, and I successfully installed twrp. The text on the bottom I didn't see which said to install the dm-verity thing. I ran into the problem where there were all these folders were displaying weird text in the main partitions, so instead of installing the version they told me, which was the no-verity-opt-encrypt-4.1.zip, I installed the latest which was the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip version, which soft bricked. So I thought I could fix this by installing a custom ROM. But there were none, so I tried to install cm13 honor 7x rom and It didn't work. I tried installing the correct version after the rom. So even now if I tried to revert the old boot img it still wouldn't work because of the rom. However, since my bootloader is unlocked there is definitely a way I can fix all this. But the problem is their is not any Huawei Mate SE roms anywhere. I need a stock rom for my phone (possisbly a custom rom), or some fix. I can access my recovery, and the bootloader, but not anything else. My model is the BND-L34, pls help.
I did the same thing. Got it working
Put this in twrp back up folder on external SD card. Restored both files then factory reset in twrp. It worked for me every thing works. unzipped with Windows pc
Can't post links. Post [EMUI 5.1] OTA Firmwares and Unbrick Phone method. In Huawei 7x thread post#139 by AlexxC might be easter to search his posts. I have mate se in us on tmo/MetroPCS I flashed the correct 4.1 and still got soft brick. That article cost me couple hours. rooted with honor 7x method. Guess it really is the same phone with extra gig of ram. To AlexxC thanks, you the man

I tried the manual method of unbricking with multi touch and the phone booted, but it is a black screen, and I only see the home, back and tabs buttons. So after i figured out to use the backup that you sent me and it still wouldn't boot.
Are you getting errors in twrp restore you have to mount the partitions that your restoring boot system data etc

Hi all,
I have managed to install the following vanilla ROM on my Huawei P20 lite.
ColtOS-v5.4-10-Unofficial-20200103-arm64-ab-vanilla.img
So far it's going good but I've got 3 issues that I can't get info on with this ROM.
As far as I could see Android 10 OS has changed file systems. So my exFAT SD card won't work (needs to be formatted?). This card is only a couple of months old so it's not broken. It was working when I had EMUI 9.1 running yesterday. The OS says "there is an issue with your SD card". I go into the menu and it asks me to format said card. I have done this 4 times already but nothing changes. After the format the OS still gives the error that the SD card is faulty. Also when I connect my phone to my Win 10 PC only the Internal storage is picked up, not the SD card at all.
Then the other issue I have is getting TWRP to run. I have the following TWRP image that I tried to flash. When I do flash it and I reboot nothing happens and the phone boots to normal eRecovery.
TWRP image:
twrp-3.4.0-0-anne.img
Latly I have read read on the Colt OS XDA forum that one can not report errors of the OS if you are running Magisk. Is Magisk supported at all with this OS? Can I use SuperSU maybe instead of Magisk to get root working maybe?
For anyone who is going to respond, I say thank you

Try Magisk-phh :

You can try also SuperSu:

Hi Alf man!
Thank you for the suggested links. I tried flashing the TWRP provided but nothing happens.
I have gone back to EMUI 9.1 and I can pickup the sd card. So I have no idea why it keeps telling me the sd card is corrupt Alf.
From what I have read, there are 2 partitions, one active the other not, for easier upgrading etc. So it seems I have to specify which partition to flash the provided TWRP? Is there a post on xda that I am missing in trying to install TWRP on Android 10?

Well after flashing back to EMUI 9.1 I tried again, this time flashing TWRP first (twrp-3.4.0-0-anne.img) ....the other TWRP you suggested booted into TWRP but then it would reboot shortly after. Then I formated my sd card to fat32. After that I flashed Colt OS, then I reinstalled stock recovery, rebooted and ColtOS was working but it was installed on my SD card and not my main storage?
So now I am back on EMUI 9.1 but I can't access my storage on my PC. If I switch to "transfer file" only a cd-rom pops up in My Computer on Win 10. So I managed to screw up my entire storage :crying:
Well EMUI 9.1 is running though. My internal storage is encrypted

Hi, just a few notes:
- As I wrote earlier, availability of custom ROMs for Kirin devices is scarce.
- Note that the "AB" in GSIs is not the same thing as physically having AB partitions .
"AB" in GSIs means SAR - system-as-root ( P20 lite which runs on EMUI 9.1).
A common misconception is that having Project Treble support and A/B partition support are related to one another, but that’s not actually the case. Having one does not imply the other. P20 Lite supports Project Treble AB, yet is an A-only device ( does not support Seamless Updates).
- if your phone is running Oreo, install a-only version.

Ok thank you very much for your insight Alf.
I was having issues with that specific TWRP, that's why I tried a different one. But per your instructions, I will 100% go ahead and install Service ROM as suggested!
Thank you so very much Alf! Now I understand a bit more one the partitions.

Hi Alf,
So I tried to follow your advice. I downloaded the following .zip file mentioned in your earlier post.
ANE-L01 8.0.0.136(C432) Firmware Android 8.0.0 EMUI 8.0.0 05014YXX.zip
I unzipped that file, and afterwards I tried flashing it first with the dload method, which only gave an error exclamation on eRecovery. I know I need to downgrade first from 9.1.0 and I have looked through XDA posts now but I haven't managed to do it. I have also tried via HiSuite and it gives me the option to downgrade, which I did, and then the phone restarted into TWRP recovery ( it seems I did not flash stock recovery before the HiSuite downgrade).
Ok...it seems I have to relock my bootloader before I try and downgrade to EMUI 8. If there are any steps I am missing please help.
Thank you!

Where did you get this information ??? If you are running EMUI 9.1, you have to flash Service ROM for EMUI 9.1. Don't try downgrade to Oreo using Oreo Service ROM, it may brick your phone.
Download links (Service ROMs for C432 EMUI 9.1):
https://androidhost.ru/Xch
https://androidhost.ru/Xc1
https://androidhost.ru/Xar
It doesn't matter which one you choose.

Ok thank you Alf, I will try with the provided info. Thank you! I was reading through XDA but couldn't find a answer. After I tried to do a downgrade via HiSuite and it failed as well as the dlaod method, I tried again to do a downgrade via HiSuite and the info in the app stated that my phone should not be unlocked.
Thank you for the help Alf!
Ok, I tried flashing via dload method as well as the service menu Alf. Didn't work. So I flashed it manually via fastboot. It installed the service ROM as you suggested I do.
The one I flashed was
Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 ANE-L21 hw eu HLRCF Anne-L21 9.1.0.278(C432E6R1P7T8) Firmware EMUI9.1.0 05014YWN.zip
Current build number 9.1.0.278(C432E6R1P7)
What is the next step Alf? What makes a service ROM special? I tried looking on interwebs but couldn't find any info.

Ok, got a post on XDA, you need Service ROM to go back to Android 8.
The dload method, does it matter what the sd card's name is in the OS? Must it be sd_card?
OK the dload method does not work. I see that once you properly load a Service ROM, your device locks automatically and then one can proceed to flashing back to Oreo. I take it when the Service ROM is loaded correctly and one boot into fastboot mode the device should say "Phone Locked" "FRP Unlock"?

Dude it's you choice. As I said, downgrade to lower EMUI version via dload method may brick your phone. it's possible (and safely!) via HiSuite (with locked bootloader) only, or using HuRupdater 0.4 & TWRP .
Our conversation is useless, it's time to end it. Good Luck!
