[Q] P7 L00 dual simm install non Chinese (ie L10) firmware

Hi all
I got an Ascend P7 in China recently. The firmware version is P7-L00V100R001C17B123SP01. I want to replace the firmware to get rid of the irritating Chinese apps and stores. Please assist me on this process. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

You can root yr device and get rid of Chinese apps. And install TWRP and flash Gapps. Bang! It becomes an international version. I've made mine this way.

How can I root it? I have the China version L00. RootGenius doesn't work,...

I also have a chinese version of the Ascend P7 with the latest firmware, bootloader unlocked (comes this way) ,and i installed TWRP recovery; Also installed google-related apps and workign fine;
But i want to root the phone and there is when problems arise; RootGenius is not working, it restarts in the middle of the process and never get to root the device,

Did you try root your phone with HiSuite or without him working in background?Rootgenius sometimes won't work if you didn't first install HiSuite.

Any tool to root P8 lite 2017 ?

Hi there.
Does anyone has informations about rooting the new p8 lite 2017?
It comes with android nougat 7.0 and I can't find any TWRP, SuperSU ...
Thanks for your help.

P8 lite regular have different specs from 2017 version, if I were you I give a try in the Honor 6x section, because the CPU is the same maybe you could get some hints there.
Other devices with same CPU:
-Honor 8 lite
-Mate 9 lite

Thank you.
But I'm not courageous to test these tools - I don't want to brick it.
So, I unlocked the bootloader and now I need something like TWRP and (maybe) a modified SuperSU to get root.
If someone has any informations about, let me know.
Regards.

Well, it should work. In the worst case you could just reflash your old recovery with fastboot.

Could you tell us if it's worth it to buy or not please ? Bcz im thinking about having one but i dont know samsung a5 2017 is cool too and better in a lot of things

i think twrp from 6x would work on P8 lite 2017
then you on terminal put (for the safest case), echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
and you are done, it should work, on my Moto G 4G (XT1040) i do that to root on nougat

Use Magisk to root it

In my opinion its a fine phone with a good hardware and a fair price.
And very performant, too.

Trying is free, but try it.
Download and install magisk from store. It will try to install binaries. If you succeed you are done. If it fails try the other solutions gave by others.

Of course not.
As I said: I don't know for sure , which version works with the new 2017 p8lite.
(The fone isn't mine, so I take care and don't want to brick it.)
Edit: As reported in Android-hilfe, the TWRP of Honor 6x will NOT work.

I also tried a few recovery roms, none that worked. Still waiting for a working one!

Hmm I could try see if I could help u. Could u try the mate 9 lite or any twrp (if available for nougat) and se if it wors?
In this case it can be related to kernel or some other info.
Since these devices are very similar it should be easy to port twrp

I think we should get a new section for the P8 lite 2017.

None of the TWRP did work, as a user in another Forum reported.
I can't test by myself, because the fone isn't here anymore.

I tried the RevolutionRecovery for P9 Lite Nougat. Is not able to mount system.

I tried all day long to unlock the bootloader, creating a Huawei account and following step by step the procedure to can get an unlock code. But once I got it, trying to unlock by DOS prompt, it failed and remains locked. I think because this procedure is related to P8 Lite, and not to P8 Lite 2017. Currently it seems to be there's no way yet to can root the P8 Lite 2017, unfortunately for all possessors of it, like me

I have to correct my post above.
This TWRP istn´t able to mount data, not system...but this has been described in the RevolutionRecovery thread, nothing specific to the P8 Lite 2017.
So flashing SU doesn´t work, flashing magisk zip makes the phone reboot instantly.
@Joaquito29
Unlocking the bootloader worked pretty well for me and someone in another forum said, he was able to root the phone manually by pushing su and busybox binaries to bin and xbin.

Witch guide has been used for unlocking bootloader? And for rooting without unlocking bootloader?

stock boot image dump

I've got a PRA-LX1 here, P8 lite 2017
I wanted to give Magisk (and then MagiskSU) a try, but it says it requires a stock boot image dump.
How to make one reliably for this model? I tried with twrp first, but it says it requires root to do so. Since I wanted to try if MagiskSU can root it, I am wondering now how to dump it without having root in the first place?

First of all, this is general for P8 Lite not 2017; after that magisk require the boot image dump only if you don't have a custom recovery.
you can flash the magisk zip from twrp.

I'm sorry, I didn't see there is a different section for the 2017.
Yet, this doesn't answer the question at all - if I had a custom recovery installed I wouldn't have the need to ask that- obviously

twrp it's a custom recovery.
Did you mean that you tried to install twrp and you failed? you have to unlock bootloader (i think the procedure it's like P8 Lite) than flash it.
I don't know if it's working, but you can give a try: download a full firmware then use huawei update extractor to extract the boot image and you're almost done.

ah, now I get the misunderstanding. Guess I was a bit unclear. On this phone I only have the twrp app so far, which refuses to do the backup without having root.
Thanks for the hint with the update extractor, will dig it and give it a try.
If there are other ways yet, always open for suggestions.

VKY L09/L29 C432B162- Service rom

I found link and instruction for upgrade, unbrick, back from custom rom, etc....and I hope that it will be useful for the most people. My recommendation is to use force upgrade method with three buttons. Enjoy!

Did you flash it already?

I used those service roms with same method for p10 lite, p9 lite. I didnt try this one, but, I dont expect any problem because instruction is provided by Huawei. Just, read instruction, but again my recommendation is force method. Because, normal upgrade is not necessary with this rom, ota, or ffinder are more efficient. But if someone bricked phone, or has custom rom, this is the best thing for rollback to stock rom. The reason why to use forced method iis simple, because with three buttons first flash stock recovery and than stock recovery automaticly repair all system and upgrade all things.

No, no this rom is not for rollback. Only if you have issues with Nougat mentioned servise rom is usefull. But if You try rollback from Emui 8 with this yiu can brick phone. For rollback from Emui 8 to Emui 5 must use official rollback from ffinder.

How can you downgrade from softbricked Oreo ROM where FFindar can't be loaded to Nougat ?

How did you brick phone on Emui 8? Only solution is to try to unlock bootloader in fasrboot and downgrade using twrp, hwota. Method for rollback you can find here in our section. https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/downgrade-p10-plus-oreo-to-nougat-t3724382

Long story. Three days was trying to get it unbricked, even it was in service shop, but they didn't do much
however, upgrade from nougat to oreo didn't went well at first. Almost an hour it was installing oreo update zip file in twrp, so I had to turn off the mobile phone in middle of process. At last, it booted to Oreo, but after a first restart (changed overall appearance from large to medium), it just bootlooped. As I had nandroid backup of nougat in twrp, I tried to restore to that, and my problems just got bigger. I tried to go back to oreo again, multile times, different builds, but no luck. Than I found the method you linked, and with great help of guys from Telegram group, it booted again in OS. Hell yes
Strange thing that happend that it didn't booted to Nougat, but in Oreo acctually. Probably LowLevel format helped to fix partitions and stuff, after that bootloader was unlocked again, As for now I have bad Oreo version (8.0.0.046) will rollback again to Nougat.

I'm try to download but on half its stoped

Hi all I used this service rom and it got my phone working again but there are problems the dialer and contacts apps do not work anymore I had to Install 3rd party apps and software update is gone the project menu won't come up when you key in *#*#2846579#*#* command. Fastboot won't let me install twrp fastboot screen shows bootloader unlocked. Frp unlock As it stands I'm stuck with a working limited phone. Does anyone have any ideas I could try

Please let me know where I can find the service ROM for a VKY-L09 (P10 Plus).
The instructions on this forum are written very garbled and not clear enough for me to take a chance and upgrade my phone from Nougat to OREO.

I agree with you all instruction for p10 plus make confusion. You can try this to upgrade to Oreo https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/how-to/huawei-p10-plus-debrand-rebrand-update-t3715288
But, you have stock emui 5 or some custom rom? Im asking because if you had stock rom you had to get regular Ota to emui 8. If you have custom just try to.use Hwota method from mentioned link. I have similar procedure with Hwota for p10 lite so it could be usefull in your case just as example to see how it works

If you have stock firmware emui 5, stock recovery and locked bootloader you can try Ffinder for upgrade too.

Thank you for your reply. First reply from Huawei contributors. Thank you.
I have stock EMUI v5.10 and Android v7.0.
I unlocked the device, installed TWRP and rooted it.
I would like to upgrade to OREO and was hoping to find a solution that will allow me to upgrade using TWRP as it is working and installed.
Please advise.
Thank you once again.
