OK Guys the e1 has been an absolute mare... to root or basically do anything with so heres a guide to finally root this thing and install a custom recovery WHOOO.......
OK FIRST THINGS FIRST... UNLOCK BOOT LOADER ABSOLUTE BEST WAY AND SAFEST WAY TO DO IT.........
Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases. You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device in the service menu by following the steps below:
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
Go here and check whether your smartphone is on the “unlock bootloader” list or not. If your phone is not listed there it means that you cannot use this guide for unlocking the system
.
Also, on your handset type and dial: *#*#7378423#*#*; then go to “Service info -> Configuration -> Rooting Status” and check if the “Bootloader unlock allowed” says yes. If the “no” answer will be displayed then you will not be able to unlock the bootloader of your device.
Now, extract the file named “downloadinf.zip” (which has been downloaded before) on your computer.
Then, copy the obtained file (“android_winusb.inf”) to path c:\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.
Click yes if asked to overwrite something.
Type *#06# on your phone and get the IMEI number; write it down as you will need it a little bit later.
Now, go here.
On the first page click on “Yes, I’m sure”.
Agree to Sony’s legal terms and then hit “I accept”.
On the next page enter your name, email and your device’s IMEI number and click on “Submit”.
An unlock code will now be offered; note it down.
Turn off your device and connect the same with the computer by pressing on the POWER BUTTON +vol down
Install the drivers on the path mentioned above (c:\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver).
Now, on your computer open command prompt: “start -> run -> type cmd”.
On the cmd window enter the following commands (one at a time): cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools; fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version; fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY (replace key with the code obtained before).
That’s all, now the bootloader will be unlocked.
In the end, remove the USB cable and reboot your smartphone.
NOW OK WITH BOOT LOADER UNLOCKED ............
Firmware...............
it is best to roll back via flashtool to 20.1.A.0.47 firmware its more compatible with the custom recovery ...
download firmware..https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B1oU0...xport=download
download flashtool...https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashto...ive/master.zip
place firmware in in firmware folder in flashtool directory connect phone holding powerand vol down and flash
NOW THE HEAD ACHE ROOTING BUT STICK WITH IT AND WE'LL DO IT
download http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot ( ok i understand people are sceptical of this but trust me it works it wins half the battle)
it will root xperia e1 alas! you will only have limited root privleges ((and it will install 2 apps easily uninstalled))) and it will install its own su app which does work but a bit annoying soo...
you can remove this via a delete system apps app, you do have enough privelages to do this....
install root checker it will say you dont have full root priveleges but su installed ? ok dont panic
CUSTOM RECOVERY
THIS WILL GET THEM FULL ROOT PRIVELEGES WE HAVE BEEN LONGING FOR ...
OK DOWN LOAD THIS RECOVERY IMAGE ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...3&d=1417104506
NOW
1. extract zip to somewhere on your computer & place img in the directory of fastboot.exe
2. Connect your phone in fastboot mode press vol + button while connecting to USB
3. Flash via fastboot ON FASHTOOL note to enter fast boot mode HOLD POWER AND VOL UP BLUE LIGHT SHOULD BE SOLID...
4.REBOOT..
OK NOW FINALLY
REBOOT INTO RECOVERY ....HOLD POWER AND VOL DOWN
NOW NAVIGATE TO ...ADVANCED MENU
OK NOW GO TO RE-ROOT SYSTEM (superSU) PRESS THIS REBOOT PHONE GO TO PLAY STORE RE-INSTALL SUPER USER APP
ROOTED...........................WHOOOOOOOO ps Check this with root checker

Hi guys, I need help.. I installed DC Unlocker and downloaded the drivers of Huawei.. The problems are:
- I don't have MODEMS and PORTS in Device Manager so, how can I install the drivers?
- If I go on DC, the Unlock button is grey (not clickable).. I put the device in manufacturing mode, debug USB activated and OEM also.. Already bought credits to unlock..

Downgrading Huawei P Smart, Unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP
Hello! In this tutorial i will show how you can, downgrade you phone, installing TWRP + root!
Why you need downgrade? You need to downgrade security patch to read bootloader unlock code.
Lets start!
Note: This method will cost 4euro/dollar. You need buy 4 credits to DC unlocker. Just google for it.
Note 2: Backup your important files. You need reset your phone twice.
Note 3: Im not resposible if you success to brick your phone. I can always help, if you have Discord you can contact ScaryG#8540/B] or just ask in comments
Note 4: Twrp wont work with custom roms :/
Also if something missing from tutorial, please tell down. I will fix them as soon as possible:good:
Part 1. Downgrading
You need 16 GB SD card. First format it to extFat. Then download firmware from androidhost.ru, i used FIG-LX1 8.0.0.128A(C432) Download it. ( Links below! ) Then find dload folder from zip and extract into SD card (Remember to format SD Card into extFat)
Wait until it extracts. Now put your SD Card into your phone. Call *#*#2846579#*#*, locate for software upgrade and press SDCard Upgrade button. Now your phone is installing the update. Wait until installs. After install, you should get bootloop. In this part Press Volume UP + Power button, go to recovery and do factory reset. Now wait until boots. Go to settings -> about, and you should see version (128A). Boom! You have done downgrade...
Part 2. Unlocking Bootloader
Okay. Now get DC Unlocker ready, select auto detect Huawei Phones. Now go to again call to *#*#2846579#*#* and enable manufacturer mode. Try auto detect. It should detect your phone. Now simply, press the Unlock button. You should get your bootloader code, take it up. Enable developer options on your phone, go to USB Debugging and turn it on, also turn OEM Unlocking on. Then open cmd and type cd (same path as dc unlocker folder). Type adb devices It should start ADB daemon. Check your phone, you should get ADB trust popup, Allow it! Then check again adb devices, your device should be there. Now type adb reboot bootloader After it type: fastboot oem unlock (your key) ex. fastboot oem unlock 12345678. Check your phone, and press yes. Yeet! Your bootloader is now unlocked! Type fastboot reboot to reboot! Now goes kinda easy part!
Part 3. Installing TWRP
Download TWRP for Huawei P Smart. I put links below.
Move file to same folder as DC Unlocker and rename it to recovery.img
Anyways, your phone should be resetted again...
Go again enable developer options + enabling USB Debugging. Then again confirm...
Now do again adb reboot bootloader now type fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img Now it should be flashed. Get into TWRP by pressing Power button and Volume up. Now you can root and flash zips!
Thats it, i hope it helped :good:

Hi ! Hope you saved the unlock code somewhere
If yes, you can upgrade any way you want. Just redo 'fastboot oem unlock xxxxx' after successful upgrade. (Worked for me on EMUI 9.0.1.115)
It will unlock and wipe again..
As for me, this is the point I'm stuck at :
- latest EMUI FIG-LX1 9.0.1.120 (C432)
- bootloader unlocked
- can flash twrp, allow it to prevent being overriden, then flash Magisk 19.3 without error in the log.
After that, phone boots ok but Magisk Manager says 'not installed' and TWRP must be reflashed again.
Anyone can help further ? I've read about patched boot images to be flashed with fastboot. Are they just Magisk patched or some additional security level hacking required ?
Thanks XDA
Hi.
Just FYI, afters hours, I managed to finish the procedure and restore full root/magisk under latest EMUI 9.1.0.120 (E)
I had to use magisk uninstaller under TWRP, then reflashed Magisk 19.3
Now everything sticks :
- TWRP 3.2.0_1
- Root access
- Magisk is detected as installed and running
I mainly use "systemless hosts" with Adaway and it's OK.
Did not test any other module yet.
Hi,
I bought 4 credits online for the dc unlocker, but how do i run it?
this part: "Okay. Now get DC Unlocker ready, select auto detect Huawei Phones"
How do i do that?
Sorry fo the noob question, would be great if you could clarify
cheers

Hey there! I've tried downgrading but i instantly get the message "Software install failed." before it even starts to install. Any ideas?
Can't downgrade from android 9.1, everytime said Software install failed
Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to install the older EMUI 8.0 version and unlock the bootloader of a FIG-LX1 (C432). Two tips:
I was able to use a uSD formatted in FAT32, I did not need to format it again using ExtFAT
When using the DC Huawei Bootloader Codes app from PlayStore to buy the credits, select Android 7 to get charged for just 4 credits, otherwise it will try to charge for a 3-day license
Make sure the phone has 8.0.0.128A or older, and DC Unlocker 2 recognizes the phone properly before buying anything (if it is not the correct version, it will tell you to use the test/probe point method)

I can only thank you hugely for this clear concise instruction. Well worth £3.41 to DC Unlocker developers! Finally an unlocked bootloader on my wifes phone. I'm a definite Xiaomi phone fan compared to the ridiculous hoops Huawei make people go thru with their locked down phones. Gave up with Samsung years back too for the same reason. Cheers
Hello , I have model FIG LX1 and I want to flash roms. I need to follow this guide ?
And basically I have to pay ? What the hell
P8 Lite (2017): Retail Demo and "your device has been unlocked and can not be trusted
Hi @All
Few weeks ago i got a P8 Lite (2017) from my buddy.
The problem is that every boot has the annoying message "your device has been unlocked and can not be trusted" and then there are 2 options to choose from. If neither option is selected, the phone will start.
After it has started and you do not do anything for a short while, there is an equally annoying "promotional" procedure (Demo Mode, Retail Demo?)
Now Huawei is not really mine, Samsung already rather.
So how do I get the message after booting away and how this annoying retail mode away?
Huawei P8 Lite
Model: PRA-LX1
Build no. PRA-LX1C652B100
EMUI - 5.0
Android version 7.0
The found hint
1- Keep pressing power button to restart mobile
2. As soon as vibrate presses volume up button along with power button.
3- When huawei logo apear release power button and do not leave volume up button.
4- EMUI interface will be displayed
5- tap factory reset
6- When complete tap Wipe cache partician
7- Restart Mobile
- Done--
You are out of demo mode. Tested on Huawei P8 Lite
dont work.
I already tried.
The P8 Lite jumps immediately after the Huawei logo to the message "your device has been unlocked and can not be trusted"
I tried to flash the mobile with other firmware (e.g. german B140 firmware for P8 Lite) with SD Card and force update methode.
None of them is working, flashing fails at 5%.
I installed TRWP but i do not find a correct firmware.
Is there a step by step guide or is lineageos the solution?
Thanks and LG

this is the command that should relock your bootloader / frp and thus remove the warning message when you start your device.
You can simply, from a shell / command prompt:
adb reboot boatloader
(you will boot in fastboot mode)
fastboot lock oem
(you should relock the bootloader)
I think you will be forced to deploy a base rom (you should do this before relocking the BL) and all your datas will be wiped.
Perhaps into your rom, in developper options, you could relock the bootloader. Not sure as i never wanted to try this option
