So we just managed to get our Huawei P9 Plus (VIE-AL10C00B106) successfully rooted
0.) *** if you have your Bootloader UNLOCK Code from Huawei, jump to STEP 3 ****
1.) downloaded DC-Unlocker, created a account, added 4 Credits(4EUR) to account. Device should have USB DEBUG Mode enabled and you need to enable 'Manufacture' mode: in dial pad type *#*#2846579#*#* - you enter the "Project Menu", go to "Background settings" -> "USB ports settings" and switch to "Manufacture mode". Dont forget to have your device Drivers (ADB) installed
2.) Once your P9 Plus is normal booted, start DC-Unlocker (here we tested 1.00.1299) , select "huawei phones" with "auto detect" and hit the Search-Button. Your device should be found and listed with IMEI, FW ect.
If you have entered your account details under "SERVER" in dc-unlocker, you can now use the "read bootloader" Button to get your bootloader unlock code - your Credits are GONE then. SAVE THIS CODE BEFORE CLOSING DC-UNLOCKER!!!!!!
3.) Boot your device in fastboot - screen should show "locked" as status on the white screen. Type command "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXX" (replace the XXXX with your unlock code from DC Unlocker)
4.) Phone Screen should show a WARNING Message and offer to press VOL UP to UNLOCK phone - WARNING, if you select UNLOCK and press PWR Button to agree, DEVICE WILL INSTANTLY RESETED TO MANUFACTUR DEFAULT
5.) Download the Root-SuperSU-v2.65.zip (DIRECT DOWNLOAD) and put it on a SD-Card
6.) Download the TWRP3.0.2_EMUI4.1_H95X File (DIRECT DOWNLOAD)
7.) Reboot your phone and re-enable USB DEBUG Mode, dont forget to ALLOW Debugging via PC if promped. Insert your SD-Card with the SuperSU Zip into your phone if not already done.
8.) RUN TWRP3.0.2_EMUI4.1_H95X, it will reboot your phone in Fastboot mode. By pressing 1 and then enter, you will Install TWRP 3.0.20. Follow the instructions, by pressing enter again your phone should reboot
9.) while rebooting, HOLD VOL UP and VOL DOWN together pressed until Phone tell you "booting", it should boot into TWRP now
10.) On TWRP, in the right Corner, you can Switch Language from Chinese to English (selectable, dont worry). Now go to INSTALL, move to EXT_SDCARD as source and select the SuperSU ZIP -> INSTALL
the installation of SuperSU may show mounting/unmount errors, but will be installed anyway.
After Operation is done, reboot your Phone into normal Mode. You should find SuperSU installed on your device now.
Working Firmware Versions :
VIE-AL10C00B102*
VIE-AL10C00B106
VIE-AL10C00B163
If anything goes wrong, you may RESTORE your phone to TOTAL Stock by downloading
*VIE-AL10_C00B102 (initial CN nonspecific_Android 6.0_EMUI4.1) firmware - DOWNLOAD HERE (LINK will be added later)
Put the UPDATE.APP File (~2.8GB) (content of SDupdate_Package.tar.gz) in an folder named "dload" on your MicroSD Card and reboot phone with holding VOL UP and VOL DOWN. If the Huawei Logo appears, keep Buttons pressed until DEVICE gives you a vibration impulse. Device should now completly restore initial Firmware from SD-Card. PHONE IS LOCKED again after is operation.
****** i will add Firmware Files B102(initial full release), B106(update) and B163(latest update) LATER to this thread, need to Upload them first ******

Yes, I had some problems but exported them from the web and inported them back in to the phone

how did u do that?? so u exported it from Google contacts den used their Computer software to upload it all back in?? back there is no backup made to google moving forward yeah??
anyone knows when the international ROM will be out? i heard some variants actually allow for Google accounts to sync with the phone.
Yes, exported from the web page on my PC and put the file on my phone, then opened contacts on the phone, selected inport from the menu and imported them from the file I cresated. I found no other way at the time other than moving them to your sim card on another phone, then use that sim on your P9+
Calendar and contact sync adapter work fine here, we installed the apks I posted in the mate thread...
Does this unlock also work with the International versions for example VIE-L29 ?
Could anyone test if FlashFire works?
Guys here real TWRP with decrypt option. Chinese TWRP ****. My sources are clear and free for every one

Restore Backup with: TWRP
hi, i apologize for such a noob question, but i've never rooted a phone before so i'm wondering what are the benefits of rooting the Huawei P9 plus? i understand the basic gist of what rooting does and why you'd want it for phones with heavy, heavy bloat (like, say, a Samsung S5 from a US carrier). but the VIE-AL10 unit's bloatware can mostly be uninstalled (i have the china unlocked version), and with NiLS lockscreen, Nova Launcher, and the Android N theme that i got from this forum, i was able to get the phone running mostly like a normal, clean phone without any sign of those tacky Chinese bloat.
so i'm just wondering at this point what more can root do? what do you guys plan on doing, or have done, to your P9 plus after rooting?
thanks, and apologies again if this is a really dumb question for those experienced in this.
tested on L29.
Phone unlocks but I got stuck on Encryption unsuccessful loop. I did full format, but this removed the OS completely.
I have TWRP running though
Ok working unlocked rooted xposed.
Will rooting/unlocking the bootloader void the warranty or trigger some sort of counter that cannot be reset ?

Can you unpacke and upload only oeminfo ? I don't have P9 plus , I will add in my SRK Tool huawei.
hi folks,
tomorow should be getting my hands on the Ulephone power 2.
its the 5.5 screen 4gb ram 64gb rom.
all looks good until i have seen that the normal duel sim is one is hybrid for sdcard which is the norm right,
ant
but............
usually its sim 1 is for 4g cards and the hybrid is for 2g/3g/sdcard. yeah?
well the power 2 looks like its sim slot 1 is a 2g/3g slot and the hybrid is 4g or sdcard??????????
so will have to choose 4g or sdcard??? that cant be right?
I don't try this device with sim.
I know you can use the older power (1) have a sim 4g and SD card
So i believe the power 2 have the same method.
My first steps: How to root this device? i don't find a twrp.
I try to root with kingroot kingoroot, no results
Please?
The power 2 is the same as the power wrt the sim/memory card tray; both sim slots support 4g, but only one at a time. So if you put two 4g sims in, only one of them will have 4g (you choose which one), with a sim and a memory card the 4g should default to the inserted sim, but you might have to check this in settings.
Received my power 2 a couple of weeks ago after having it on pre-order for a month and I love it (sold the original power towards the cost).
I haven't tried rooting it yet, but was thinking of trying to flash twrp for the original power and seeing if that works. The great thing about these phones is that they're very hard to brick as you can always flash them as long as they still switch on.

I'm sure it's not working the twrp from the power (1).
If you have troubles with bootloops you can flash again the facatory rom and SP flash tools.
Press the power volume + and - and SP flash tools gonna flash.
The only way is to made a twrp from the k6000 http://fvknl.pro/k6000-plus-root-guide/
I don't know how, that device is almost the same...
There has been 2 ulefone Updates since launch
Android 8.0 is scheduled for end of the year.
Updates are fine, who can create a TWRP? So we can finally root the device

TWRP please!
Not so easy to do it. It will take very long time to port or build twrp
It sucks that power 2 still doesn't have root or twrp. I refuse to touch unrooted phones. I just received it as gift. I will keep it in a drawer and check next month or so.
I find that it lacks optimisation, kinda laggy in 3D/games ..
On Antutu, scores is 44000. I tested a galaxy S5 of a friend, it was 72000. For a phone that is several years older than Power 2.
I understand that it comes not with high end cpu/gpu but still..
I will copy my post from needrom website.
I have successfully rooted my two Power 2 phones. I had to port the TWRP recovery from Oukitel k6000 plus using Carliv Image Kitchen and following some online tutorials.
The only issue is, TWRP is semi functional, that is, touch doesn't work. I had to connect a mouse to my phone via OTG usb port and using some dongle to make USB smaller to fit the port. Also it comes with Russian language as default, but can be changed to English or any other as the original TWRP from Oukitel k6000+ (3rd button from second column, then click on Globe tab at the top right then choose English and the only button at the bottom to accept the change).
I am trying to fix this with no luck so far. But at least I am rooted and I was able to flash "SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip" which is the latest as of writing this. SuperSu functions properly and I am able to use AdAway.
If anyone is interested in the recovery image, I will post it. I flashed it using fastboot though after unlocking the bootloader using "fastboot oem unlock"

I would very much like to give this a go with my ulefone power 2!
Here you go, TWRP for Ulefone Power 2
What you need to do before you start flashing:
0) You need to have ADB installed on your computer, if you have Windows, the easiest way is by using 15 Seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.
1) Your bootloader must be unlocked, otherwise flashing recovery will fail using fastboot command. PLEASE NOTE: When unlocking the bootloader, your phone will do a factory reset automatically, so backup all your important files beforehand.
To unlock the bootloader:
a) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Build number (tap on it 7 times to unlock Developer Options) -> Tap on back to Settings menu then Developer Options.
b) Now move the slider for "OEM Unlocking" to enable it, say yes to the warning message.
c) Enable "USB Debugging"
d) Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable, say Yes for the dialog on your phone to trust your computer for debugging using USB.
e) Run command prompt and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then press enter
f) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then press Volume UP on your phone to allow OEM Unlock. It shouldn't take long, just few seconds and a message will appear on command prompt saying success or OK.
g) Type
Code:
fastboot reboot
To reboot your phone, it might reboot twice, it will do a factory reset and you will have to "Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging" again. As a side note, you will also notice that OEM Unlocking is grayed out. It will remain like that unless you do "fastboot oem lock" or erase the entire phone (might erase imei, but can be restored using SN Writer Tool) and/or flash bootloader using SP_FLASH_TOOL, but I digress.
2) Before you flash TWRP recovery, you must have SuperSu zip file on your phone beforehand, otherwise, your phone will not boot to Android. It has to do with something about the original TWRP for Oukitel k6000+, since the author of that TWRP port said so in the instructions about how to flash the recovery.
So download SR1-SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170608224931.zip from this link or the original SuperSu thread on XDA, and copy the file into your phone, say inside the Download folder in the internal memory of your phone.
3) Open command prompt again if it is not already open, type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
4) Once in bootloader, type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\TWRP-recovery-20170618-1340.img
Note: You replace the path for the TWRP recovery to where you have the file, to make it easier, just put it in the root of C drive.
Also, if you don't already know, while in command prompt, you can type C:\TWRP then press TAB to auto-complete the file name for you, so you don't have to type lengthy file names. Keep pressing TAB to cycle between similar occurrences, that is, if you have more than one file that their names start with TWRP
5) Press power button until phone shuts down. Then press Volume UP + Power and keep holding until you see super tiny text with 3 options to cycle between. Release your fingers from Volume Up + Power, then cycle between the options using Volume Up only, choose "RECOVERY" which is the first in the menu, then press Volume DOWN to select.
6) Wait a few seconds, you will be inside TWRP, connect your phone with a mouse since touch doesn't work here. Once you do, you will see a mouse pointer appear. I used a wireless mouse with bluetooth dongle, with an adapter to change USB port size.
7) Slide the slider to the right, to enable modifications to System partition. Don't press anything else, unless you know Russian, I don't .
8) To change the language to English or your own language, click on the third button of the second column. Then click on the Globe tab on the top right corner, change language, then press the only button at the bottom to accept. Language of the UI is changed.
9) Click "Install", browse for the SuperSu zip file you have downloaded to your phone, for example inside the Download folder. And then select it.
10) Slide to the right to flash SuperSu.
11) From the TWRP menus, you can reboot your phone.
12) Enjoy your rooted Power 2 phone. :good:

hello , i got a ulefone power 2 but unfortunately its not powering on. As i am from india and returning or replacing is costly and timetaking process, i need you guys to help me. I tried to flash it with software available on the website but stuck. I need some checksum.ini file which is not there in the firmware file provided. So anyone please help me. the phone doesnt even show the ulefone logo. i can just see the charging percentage when the charger is connected, then keeping it connected i tried to turn on but didnt work. keeping the charger connected ,after some time the display goes off and no mater how long you press the power button , the display doesnt show up. I can only see the notification bulb.
Soft bricked :laugh: trying to recover the phone, official ulefone guide is useless. Getting some error about a missing checksum.ini file. Will keep this thread updated
All went well until step 9, where I realised factory reset deleted the supersu zip. So I tried to reboot into system to download it again. It never booted. Doesnt even go into adb mode.
Fastboot mode and TWRP intact (TWRP needs a mouse). I was able to flash original recovery via fastboot, getting "cannot load system.img" error when I try to flash system (it appears I might need to update my adb/fastboot version).
UPDATE: was able to flash the stock rom. And tried to follow the guide again, and faced the same symptoms. If i have working TWRP, then the system doesnt boot. And vice-versa. Will keep updated, i'm a persistent mf

Yeah, I had the same issue with the software that comes from Ulefone, it was asking for Checksum Generator that I have to download separately, it was like 150kb stand alone executable, you put it in the same folder of your stock ROM and wait forever for it to build the Checksum, which unfortunately didn't work since it complains about multiple RECOVRY images. So scratch that.
What you need to do, is as I did, download SP FLASH TOOL, it works great, no shinanigans or bullsh!t. It flashed the stock ROM in less than 2 minutes (around 1:30 seconds, to be exact) and revived my phone. There are plenty of youtube tutorials on how to use it. It is easy, just load the scatter file, for the other file, you can use the same all in one mtk file that comes with SP FLash Tool (I did this) or use the one from your STOCK ROM.
I hope that helps :good:

All I can think of, you did something wrong. Initially, while I was trying to port TWRP, I had the same issue, I was trying to save some steps by flashing the recovery after I unlocked the bootloader without rebooting, the result was TWRP was not able to see any partitions.
Flash Stock-ROM and redo the steps. If you flash the preloader you might have to OEM Unlock your phone again.
I mentioned that if you "do not flash SuperSu, the system will NOT boot to Android". Also mentioned that after you unlock the bootloader, you have to RE-ENABLE USB Debugging, and while you are at it, check to see if your bootloader is unlocked inside Developer Options.
Edit: BTW, try not to unlock the bootloader if it is already unlocked. If it is unlocked, then skip the steps for unlocking the bootloader. It might cause an issue.
These are the steps I used to flash TWRP and I was able to flash SuperSu, all rooted apps are working fine, AdAway, Lucky Patcher...etc!

Apparently if you dont flash the supersu first time you go into TWRP then it gets messy. Got the root working now. Thank you for the help and of course for the TWRP build!
Also if anyone's wondering it's possible to restore the system via fastboot. Extract the rom zip (can be downloaded from http:/ulefone.com/download/power2.html ) and flash boot, recovery and system;
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img

ok what should i select there? formal all+download or download only or firmware upgarade???
[GUIDE] Huawei P10 Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Nougat&Oreo "Updated_19.5.2018"
Huawei P10 debrand/rebrand/update GUIDE
This thread will be discontinued, because Huawei refuses to provide unlock codes in the future, because of security reasons.
A shame that after the support end of the device it will be quite useless, cause you don´t get any security updates and have no chance to make secure again, by flashing something else.
I recommend you not buy any Huaweidevices in the future cause of that.
Disclaimer:
Before you do anything (stupid), backup your data!!!! Don´t make me or others responsible, i warned you!!!!!
If you wan´t to go back to your orginial version some day, you have to backup your OEMinfo!!! Best way to that is via TWRP before the rebranding ( see details of STEP 1)
When using the follwing script, take your time and drink a cup of coffee/tea!!!! First rule, don´t panic!!! Don´t do any (unnecessary) extra steps, while using the script!!!
Be aware that the phone sometimes takes longer for a step to finish, or you get stuck on a certain procedure (maybe depending on your branding). Key is to what to do at this point e.g. how to boot manually into fastboot.
If for some reason you must restart the procedure and factory reset appeared for the step, remember to look for the debugsettings and other mandatory settings.
Please use the orginal cable that came with the device for the rebranding and not some cheap aftermarket stuff. Also make sure you USB-Port has enough power (Might be the case on some notebooks)
70% of the posts/questions here are answered, if you read the gude carefully. So do you´re job and read!!!! Yes, i know it´s a lot to read, but details will maybe save your a**
Make sure you removed security pin from the device and also remove the google-account from the device itself, so you are not triggering googlesecuritysystem on nougat or oreo.
If you have a carrier version of the singleSIM P10 (VTR-L09xxxx) and you want rebrand or debrand it, you have to use the firmware for DualSIM (VTR-L29xxxx), or you SIM won´t be recognized anymore!
The good thing is, after that, you´ll be able to use both SIM or SIM and microSD. The provided HWOTA rom is mainly for the L29. If you want the L09 you have to replace the "update_all_hw.zip" in the update folder. If you not sure how to get, take a look in the Huawei-Forums
From Oreo to Oreo:
1. Download: @AndroidFilehost: HWOTA8_P10_B369a (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: fd330a74d22d2ef55a02bfcfdcea33ee )
All important files are inside this package!!
2. The steps for the this procedure are described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
From Nougat To Oreo (or Nougat to Nougat, if you use the older files):
STEP 1 (optional steps for the oeminfo backup are cursive)
1. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!)
The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
If you already unlocked your bootloader with installed twrp you can go to step 2. You don´t have to install TWRP in the following miniguide. the script installs it automatically.
But if you want to backup your system or the OEMinfo you have to do this step.
1. Request an unlock code: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeGwoQ44zqykuTfjCQrVP07JOHBYnBcAxAbz9SAVxPTFqMh9g/viewform or contact Huawei via live chat on their site.
It may take some time till you get the code. Hopefully they revamp their old unlocksite in the future, cause using a googleform seems to be temporary solutions anyways.
I also found a nice handy tool, but haven´t testet it yet on the p10 and officially it isn´t yet supported (for now only P20): https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3358711 If can prove that it´s working for the P10 just leave a comment in the thread here or in the orginal thread.
2 Download Hisuite and install: HiSuite
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. Install the ADB Minimal Installer or ADB and Fastboot for Mac and then restart if you already have the driver installed then skip this step.
5. Download TWRP for the P10
6. Now go to ADB and Fastboot installation directory open ADB folder and open the command window as an administrator
7. Connect your phone to PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing “adb reboot bootloader”.
8. Type “fastboot devices” in command prompt and hit enter, it gives you serial numbers in return means your phone connected properly.
10. To unlock bootloader, type fastboot oem unlock yourunlockkey. Here replace unlock key with the key you got. For example “fastboot oem unlock 1234567890″.
11. If you want TWRP at this point you have to copy the downloaded twrp.img-file into the adb directory and type fastboot flash recovery twrpimage.img If you already have oreo running on your device, you must use this updatepackage and follow the guide <.--instead of twrpimage.img type in the exact filename you´ve downloaded.
12. To restart the system type “fastboot reboot”
13. Boot into TWRP and make a Backup of the "OEMinfo" and/or the system. You should be able to that without any guide, otherwise it´s a big mistake keep reading and following this guide!!!
STEP 2
1. Depending on your variant (You can check with the app firmwarefinder and imei, if the update is approved) use:
@AndroidFilehost: HWOTA_P10_B369a (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: b935a84180565fb1717a46d7337f2d43 )
@AndroidFilehost: HWOTA_P10_B365 (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: dbcd30e157625fc6d709b26d49421bb6 )
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B360 (Oreo) (MD5-Hash: E75DCD3950517E517865878DF8F21679 )
Be aware, it takes some modifications to the script if you wan´t to rollback to nougat. You´ll find guides here on xda for that. So really be sure if you want the new oreo version.
Also you bootloader may stay unlocked after using the script to update to oreo. You have to relock it manually. Boot in fastboot mode and use: fastboot relock INSERTYOURUNLOCKKEYHERE. After relocking your device will once again do a factory reset.
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B180 (Nougat) (MD5-Hash: 7E11EE56E83AB98DA4DE03273A6A7633 )
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B179 (Nougat) (MD5-Hash: 7D133B7484E7B4AABA84BA1284D148EC )
some older versions of the hwota:
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B164
@MegaUpload: HWOTA_P10_B130
and extract it on your PC or your device SD Card. I recommend using 7zip.
2. Run the update.bat file from a preopended CMD with adminrights, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.
3. Now connect your device and Reboot into Bootloader mode using “Volume Down + Power” or just use “adb reboot bootloader” then press any key.
4. The above step will install TWRP in your device.
5. Now Disconnect USB Cable and turn off your device and use “Volume Up + Power” to enter TWRP.
6. Once you’re in TWRP mode, plug in the USB cable again and press the Enter key on your computer.
7. If your files are saved in the HWOTA folder on the SD card, type 1 and press ENTER and if files are saved in the HWOTA/Update folder on your PC, type 2 and press ENTER. I recommend using the sdcard, cause you avoid problems with cheap cables, driverproblems, etc. Make sure you sdcard is fully working and has no errors.
8. It’ll ask you the update type, again type 1 and press the Enter button twice.
9 Done! Be patient an let it do it thing.
10. If you have any problems booting, i recommend doing an low-level factory reset after.
11. Run the update.bat file as an administrator, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.
12. Now connect your device and Reboot into Bootloader mode using “Volume Down + Power” or just use “adb reboot bootloader” then press any key.
13. The above step will install TWRP in your device.
14. Now Disconnect USB Cable and turn off your device and use “Volume Up + Power” to enter TWRP.
15. Once you’re in TWRP mode, plug in the USB cable again and press the Enter key on your computer.
16. If your files are saved in the HWOTA folder on the SD card, type 1 and press ENTER and if files are saved in the HWOTA/Update folder on your PC, type 2 and press ENTER. I recommend using the harddrive of the pc
17. It’ll ask you the update type, again type 1 and press the Enter button twice.
18. Done! Be patient an let it do it´s thing.
19. If you have any problems booting, i recommend doing an low-level factory reset after.
20. If you are rebranding your device with this method, you have to do the whole "STEP 2" again in order to flash the new system files correctly. Also sometimes the device gets stuck on installing the new system after pushing the big updatefiles via adb. Wait 10min and if nothings happens you have to longpress the power key in order to complete.
21. After the new firmwarefiles have been pushed the device will make a factory reset, if it fails, restart the device while pressing Power+Volume up and factory reset the device from the orginal recovery. If enter TWRP at this point, something went wrong.
After that, you´ll be able to get updates directly from huawei via systemupdate or use the awesome firmware finder from the playstore.
If you wondering how to use the firmware finder, watch this guide and do it step by step: Firmware Finder Tutorial If you don´t want to rebrand/debrand this maybe enough for you!
STEP 3 (Optional Update Method 1)
If you have already unlocked your bootloader und installed TWRP, you can also use this method to install the new system update (Don´t try it if you are running oreo or wan´t to install it!! There is no stable und fully functioning version of TWRP for Oreo yet!!!):
1. Make a complete backup of your current system via twrp and save the backup to sd or your pc.
2. Download one of the Huawei P10_HWOTA files from above, save it on your device and unzip it
3. Navigate to the update folder in the HWOTA-folder and copy the 3 files to your device (sdcard recommended)
4. Now Boot your device into TWRP
5. In TWRP flash "update.zip" and don´t reboot!!!
6. Flash "update_all_hw.zip" and don´t reboot!!!
7. Flash "update_data_public.zip"
6. Wait until all files are flashed
7. Done! Reboot TWRP
STEP 4 (Optional Update Method 2):
1. download and install Firmware Finder
2. start the app and search for the exact model you want to update for example VTR-L29C432
3. Look for an FullOTA package and check with your IMEI if the device is approved, otherwise it won´t install cause huawei hasn´t signed the update for your device (IMEI) yet.
3. hit the button "inapp proxy" and setup the proxy with localhost and port 8080 in your phone´s wifi settings.
4. check for the update in systemupdate-app from huawei on your phone, start the update and pause it quickly (at 1-3%).
5. delete the proxy in your wifi settings.
6. resume the update
7. After successful download your device will reboot and install the update
If it fails there actually 3 reasons:
1. your Wifi is crap
2. you didn´t do the steps correctly
3. the firmware isn´t approved for your device, so be sure to check with imei before

[TOOL] TOOL ALL IN ONE (No P10 Support yet, but you can request it)
Tips:
Pressing Power + Volume Down will launch the Fastboot Mode
Pressing Power + Volume Up will launch the Recovery Mode
Pressing Power + Volume Down with connected USB will launch the Fastboot Mode in forcemode (might useful if you can´t boot to the bootloader)
Pressing Power + Volume Down+Up will launch the forced firmwareupdate if you have the suitable updatefiles on your sdcard in a folder named "dload"
Turning your phone off and then pressing Volume Down while pluging in your USB-Cable will launch the Fastboot Mode
This whole thing was only possible because of the hard work of other heros here on xda!!
Mainly its based on the method from mankindtw [Guide] Mate 9 Flash Update Package and Rebrand
Big THX to mankindtw for the script!! Please send him some money, if you can!
Thanks a lot.
I plan to use your method.
Can I change the Chinese version (VTR-AL00) to VTR-L29 version in this way?

I´m not 100% sure, but in my opionion your VTR-AL00 (should be the china version with playstore) has exactly the same hardware as the VTR-L29. Be sure to backup you system or at least only your oeminfo.
In case you rebranding doesn´t function you can revert back to your orginal version via TWRP. Maybe you should try the 636 instead of the 432, depending on your location.

Really sure, think about it twice, most people want rebrand their phone to L09 or L29. I makes no sense to rebrand to VTR-L00, the only advantage i see, is that you get updates earlier, but in fact the other variants get really often updates too.
People with VTR-L00 bought their device cheap in china and want to rebrand because of the missing playstore, or thr missing LTE bands.
Here you can see the differences between the variants:

I´m sorry i can´t provide yoo a oeminfo for the VTR-L00.

Actually in VTR-AL00 you have more features and the updates are faster. Moreover, you can install play store
By the way in case I don't like it, I can go back to European version. But at the moment I want to try VTR-AL00!
Do you know where I can download it or do you know someone who has it?
Thank you
Good day.. i am using this method.. i have one question..
what is this firmware provided?? HWOTA_P10_B164.zip
is it VTR-L29C432 or C636??

Be sure to stick exactly to the steps! After its finished wait at least 15min.
If the device won´t reboot itself, you have to switch it off and maybe make a low level reset via orginal recovery, if you´re stuck in a boot loop.
Happened to me on 1 of 5 flashes.

Maybe you forgot to unplug the cable. Just repeat the steps to this point. If you however get stuck, try to flash a custom rom for the p10 from this section, at least you get your device working again.
Maybe you find a solution here: [Guide] Mate 9 Flash Update Package and Rebrand it´s the same batch from mankindtw, only with files for the p10.

Please read again everything in Step 1, there lies your answer how to get your TWRP and what to activate in developersettings. This step has nothing to do with the update.bat and is absolutely crucial and mandatory.
After installing TWRP the official way, make a backup and continue.

O.K. now i understand, did you set OEM-Unlocking in Developer Options? It seems like you have a locked FRP and your device doesn´t allow flashing the custom recovery.
Someone already had this problem on the Mate 9:

K, now we are talking. Only thing you can do is flash your rom back to stock the semi-official way:
Download the firmware finder from the playstore.
Search for your device (not the one you want rebrand to) and check with IMEI in Firmware Finder just to be sure. Here you have a guide: Firmware Finder Tutorial
If you prefer reading, you can also follow this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-update-p10-via-firmware-finder-app-t3674477
Then you should be back to normal. When it´s finished you can try again, just be really sure following the steps and do no extra steps!! ....for Instance wiping something after you installed TWRP
You can try the dload method instead, but i recommend doing it via firmwarefinder, simply cause it will work.
So i recently bought my Samsung galaxy A 10 ,I have been trying to root it but no luck.i unlocked the bootloader, installed proper adb drivers and latest version of odin on my Pc. I was following procedures from rootmydevice.com slash root-samsung-galaxy-A10(sorry cant post external links, im new).evrything went fine up until i got to the flashing part using odin. I am not sure weather the twrp file is corrupt or I am missing something.anyone who might know please help.
here is my device info:
SM-A105F
Have you tried this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a30/how-to/root-galaxy-a30-magisk-canary-relaese-t3936481
I'm stuck in two problems here...
1- I dont have the option OEM Unlock on my developers option. I think that it maybe because ive checked that option before and after that it desapeared... When entering on download mode, it shows OEM Lock: ON (L), i dont know if that means OEM is unlocked or locked...
2- I cant find the files in step 2: .extract the boot.img.lz4 from the AP file.
Just came here to find a root method for the SM-A105M. Seems like not a lot of love for the A10 here.. Lol Anyways, I will be testing this method I came across out tonight. I will post the link but can't confirm it's working. I'll post my results tomorrow.

Hi everybody,
I managed to root my A105FN with this method but with using the Magisk Manager v7.3.1 (no need of Magisk Canary)
It will be good to have a TWRP as welll but couldnt find a compatible one for the A10 (maybe useful for no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 and RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2 patch)
we need :
1. odin 13.3.1
2. official firmware for your device (to get the boot.img from AP_xxxx part => follow the other tutorial how to get boot.img and boot.tar magisk patched)(keep an original boot.tar, just in case stuck at boot)
3. 7zip ZS
4. Last Magisk Manager (for me was v7.3.1)
5. computer + usb cable
Warning : this root will give you big warning messages at every boot !
First you need to unlock your bootloader :
1/Under android, activate internet and go under "Developper Mode" (Setting>About>Software>Build Number and Tap on the build number repeatedly). OEM unlock option should be there.
If not wait and retry to see if there ... (needs internet, dont know why)
2/Then go under Recovery Mode (VolUp + Power at phone boot). No method to go "Download Mode" directly for my device.
3/Under Recovery, we need to unlock the bootloader as well. I cant remember what exactly I pressed but try to press VolUp or VolUP+VolDown just after you click to reboot under bootloader... It should show you a page where you can choose to unlock bootloader by long pressing VolUP. if you dont have it, retry again ... without that no Flash possible.
Warning : this unlock will give you a big warning at every boot !
4/if you managed to unlock the bootloader, it s almost finished... know under Download Mode with bootloader unlock, flash with Odin the magisk patched boot.tar. Do not forget to untick "reboot" under Odin.
(reminder:follow the other tutorial to get the file and remember to use the Magisk Manager v7.3.1 and not the canary.)
5/when flash done, reboot by pressing VolDown+Power then immediately on reboot VolUp to go under Recovery Mode.
6/Under Recovery, erase data/factory reset and reboot to system
(7/I dont know if it s necessary the VolUp at reboot till the vibration)
8/wait the booting ... if you are stuck on the warning page for a long time, retry to reflash the original boot.tar and restart from "1/"
9/if you managed to boot under android, good news you are rooted but it s not finished yet....
Under Android check you have "OEM unlock option" under Developper Mode (cf. 1/) otherwise at the reboot the system will go KO.
So when you have "OEM unlock" enabled you can install Magisk Manager. It will ask you to install something and it will reboot automatically. That s why check you have "OEM unlock" enabled before doing that !
10/After reboot, Done. ROOTED.. enjoy ! you can reboot as you want ...
Hi everybody
Yes, I facing same everyone's problem, I see on "download mode" it's show "OEM Lock: On (L)" I try all the ways to unlock in YouTube but no any method to unlock
I try to unlock with all tools I have but useless (my tool: Z3X, Miracle box, MCT Dongle , NCK Dongle, Octopus Suite Unlock, Samkey Unlock Crack)
I try to flash Custom Rom with Odin , Try to Install "Magisk" and "TWRP" by method in many website , it's useless at all
However I think I need to unlock OEM first but I can't because OEM not show in the developer option
I try all the ways to appear the OEM Unlock toggle by a changing date, Flash tar.md5, factory reset in many website it's can't help me
Samsung developer very strong and can't hacking to "OEM Lock : On (L)" on Android Pie 9.0??
1.power off device
2.while press and hold vol+ and vol- plug the data cable with pc
3.then warning screen apper
4.volume up long press.
5.then press volume up.
bootloader will unlocked!
*sorry for my bad english

Hi everybody,

Everything is about having this flash file you said you used. Please send us the link for that twrp file or whatever it is called right now as it is maybe not a Team Win Rom.

Hi,
It is not a TWRP file, it is the boot.img file from the original firmware for A10, patched with Magisk to access the root function, unfortunately it does not work, have tested it.

If you have an US variant of the A10, don't expect TWRP to work on your device.
This guide was made prior to there being a working custom recovery for this device. I highly recommend installing @afaneh92 TWRP in this thread and then simply flash magisk from recovery.
I purchased this phone a few days ago for around £120 - Bargain.
I have spent a few evenings trying to obtain root - and finally managed to achieve it with Magisk
Full data wipes are required during the process (please backup first)
Knox will trip but safetynet passes and google pay working once magisk hide enabled
Based on the Samsung specific guide provided on Magisk Github - with a few minor differences.
I have uploaded all of the tools and files used to my personal onedrive folder -
Make sure your device is on the latest firmware and download the zip
- I used SamFwTool version 1.21.0 to download the BTU Firmware for SM-A025G A025GXXU1AUA3
Install Magisk apk on your device.
Extract the AP _ tar.md5 from the downloaded firmware .zip using 7zip
Transfer the AP to your device and Patch it with Magisk , then copy back to your computer.
Enable OEM Unlock and Unlock the bootloader the instructions from magisk git are below, for those that need a reminder.
Spoiler: Unlocking Bootloader
Unlocking bootloader on modern Samsung devices have some caveats:
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Reboot to download mode: power off your device and press the download mode key combo for your device
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader.
This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
If you think the bootloader is fully unlocked, it is actually not! Samsung introduced VaultKeeper, meaning the bootloader will still reject any unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it.
Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we are installing Magisk. Connect the device to Internet during the setup.
Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and is greyed out. This means the VaultKeeper service has unleashed the bootloader.
Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode
This is where we deviate from the magisk guide... as when I flashed the magisk patched AP along with the BL CP and CSC, you get a vbmeta error and it simply reboots to stock. Magisk seems to patch the vbmeta file and I tried replacing the vbmeta with the stock version from the firmware zip but that also was fruitless.
Extract the boot.img from magisk patched AP
Extract recovery.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 from the stock (unpatched) AP file
7zip - create a new TAR, adding only those 3 files. Boot.tar will suffice for filename
Odin 3.14.4 - uncheck auto reboot and then Flash boot.tar in the AP section (CSC, HOME CSC, CP, BL not required - as the device and download are using the latest firmware)
The next part is essential and doing it wrong will again, result in no root....
I mistakenly pressed power up and it loaded fastboot... booting direct to recovery from fastboot again, results in no root.
Hold volume down and power to reboot...
As soon as the screen turns black indicating it is rebooting let go of volume down and hold power and volume up
Release power button when you see the android logo but continue to hold volume up
Release volume up when the unlocked bootloader warning appears
Tap the power button once to skip that warning
Stock recovery should now appear
Select wipe data / factory reset
Reboot system
Setup as usual and install the magisk apk

Update 10April2021: Since doing this quite a few times, I've actually had most success with Magisk 22.0 (I initially went with Canary - but stock is less hit and miss and if you do it exactly like the steps above you will get root.
Update:
Have just updated to magisk 22003 directly within magisk app - no issues to report so far
thank you so much for the guide, i found nothing from google
can i unroot after modify this device with magisk canary ??

No problem at all, It was the same position I was in so had to post as it was painful process - needed it documented for myself to follow in future too lol
yes - it's very easy to unroot directly in the magisk app
I successfully upgraded to the latest version 22004 from within the magisk app. No issues to report.
can this work on the tmobile version??
mines is a 025q
I am trying to use this same process on an SM-A025V (US Verizon) but I have ran into an issue. I was able to find and download firmware for my variant but I do not have the "oem unlock" option in my developer menu. Is this because I do not have the international version?

Przez pomyłkę wcisnąłem zasilanie i załadowałem fastboot ... ponowne uruchomienie bezpośrednio do odzyskiwania z fastboot, nie daje roota.
Przytrzymaj głośność i włącz, aby ponownie uruchomić...
Gdy tylko ekran stanie się czarny, wskazując na ponowne uruchamianie, puść zmniejsz głośność i przytrzymaj zasilanie i zwiększ głośność
Zwolnij przycisk zasilania, gdy zobaczysz logo Androida, ale nadal zwiększaj głośność
Zwolnij głośność, gdy pojawi się ostrzeżenie o odblokowanym bootloaderze
Naciśnij raz przycisk zasilania, aby pominąć to ostrzeżenie
Odzyskiwanie zapasów powinno się teraz pojawić
Wybierz wyczyść dane / przywróć ustawienia fabryczne
Uruchom ponownie system
Skonfiguruj jak zwykle i zainstaluj aplikację magisk

Aktualizacja 10 kwietnia 2021: Odkąd zrobiłem to kilka razy, w rzeczywistości odniosłem największy sukces z Magisk 22.0 (początkowo poszedłem z Canary – ale zapasy są mniej trafione i chybione, a jeśli zrobisz to dokładnie tak, jak powyższe kroki, dostaniesz root.

Hi i have sm-a25g As I connect with vol plus vol minus I connect usb nothing happens but charging the battery as I hold other keys, e.g. power vol plus I release power I keep vol plus the phone jumps in fastboot mode. In download mode I can only enter from adb reboot download but bypass the bootloader lock window, the manual input combinations in download mode do not work for me. Do you have any idea and can I ask for help?
Hi, I have a problem with unlocking the bootloader in SM-A025G. I wrote a comment on you tube I got a contact from you whats upp. The problem is that after selecting oem unlock and connecting the turned off phone, holding vol plus vol minus and connect usb, there is only a charging mode and it should be a download mode with the selection of vol plus to unlock the bootloader. To flash firmware, the only way to go with adb reboot download but bypass the unlock board is the download mode. Phone with European distribution binary u2 android 11
