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.

Without TWRP?
I'm not as good to perform only with a command-line.
Remember, your knowledges are not the same as usual...

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.
Trying is the key.

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.

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.

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.

Great work sir,
Many thanks for your well described videos.
I'm unable to get the bootloader unlock code. Check the pic attached. Any idea
Also Could you please clarify below.
1) Is there any way to re-lock the bootloader (just to claim warranty if neede.
2) Is it possible to install Xposed and modules after flashing TWRP
Thanks again for your effort and contribute. Hope more would come from you

not sure about 1.
AFAIK xposed still has some issues on EMUI causing boot loops etc; but in principle (with a working xposed) you will be able to use TWRP to flash it.
Guys!
While rooting process my device stucked in Huawei logo screen. Now I'm unable to boot the device What shall i do.
It's not able to flash stock rom. Since i guess the operating terminated during the superuser insallation. Therefore now device running with custom recovery.
Any clues are appreciate to recover my device either installing stock recovery or stock rom.
Thanks in advance

This method of Root doesn't work on android 6 ,please,do another video how to Root huawei p8 lite with android 6.
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA Free mobile app
Does this work on the ALE-L02 variant?
Hello there!
Following these steps, you'll be able to root your freshly marshmallowed P8 Lite.
The method was tested by several other users, with not just this model.
Requirements:
Huawei P8 Lite with the Chinese 6.0 Firmware
Unlocked bootloader
TWRP Recovery (Kirin Chipset)
Do you have everything above?
Good, here are the steps:
Go to THIS post, and download the attachment of it. (BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-SYSTEMMODE.zip)
Put this zip on your SD Card.
Boot into recovery and flash it.
That is all what you need to do.
Credits goes to: aufarxda for making the working zip, zirangua for trying and successfully rooting our device with this, and of course Chainfire for making rooting phones possible and easy.
Note:
If you tried with the official zips from Chainfire's thread, you should rooted your phone as well, but the root was lost after a few reboots.
At least it was like that for me.
The reason for this, Chainfire introduced a new way of rooting the phone, which called "systemless" root. It means, no modification is made to your /system partition, only to your boot image.
The install script of this zip checks for compatibility to do "systemless" root, and if it can do that, it'll do that.
However, with our device, something must be messed up with the boot image, because it seems to be resetting after few (or the first) reboots.
The downloaded zip was modified in a way, that the script only root your phone via the old method, modifying your /system partition.
The whole point to have a "systemless" root is not rerooting after every update, or system reset, however, it seems like it's not working well with our phone, so only the old method remains.
Twrp needed?

I'm wonderin too. But this is not only difference in Chinese ROM. On B524 not feature like Touch Plus, Smart Care, Mobile data traffic counter, HiCloud and many others
So my opinion is Chinese firmware is much better that European. For that I change my ALE-L21 to ALE-UL00

I never use Bluetooth. But Chinese version of 6.0 is B535
So,Can I Flash A Honor 6x Custom Rom On The P8 Lite 2017?!
Since The Both Have Similar Specs Like:
3GB Ram
Kirin 655
Cause My Phone Is Broke..Can't Go Anywhere Except TWRP&Fastboot!

Marshmellow would probably run fine on our phones. No issues there.
I would imagine one would feel like it is a step back, though. You're basically downgrading.
As soon as I receive my phone I will start working on porting some custom ROMs over (assuming I have the time for it).
As for the battery, the battery cell should not affect the ROM other then in the obvious way: how long it will run without running out of juice.
If you want you can try and see if it runs. Then again, make sure you have a valid, full backup of your current firmware so you can easily return to Nougat if you so wish.
EDIT:
I am forgetting one important part.
Check first if the 6X rom runs on the same kernel version, etc. The kernel might be a problem here.

It didn't work out for me.My device is bricked right now
I tried to flash everything from the update.app with Huawei Update Extractor
I flashed boot.img,system.img,cust.img these flashed okay (with fastboot)
But product.img,vendor.img, version.img didn't work (with fastboot)
So I tried to flash the failed ones in TWRP and only one of the three worked and it was version.img
Right now I extracted the vendor.img,product.img and copied the files to the root of the system within TWRP
Finally i rebooted the device and it keeps rebooting itself again and again and it goes to eRecovery
So can you help me please..it will be much appreciated

You can't flash ROM from different device. Flash official firmware you had to recover the phone.

It loops and won't install..there's no hope for this phone.
I tried what you said, It did work but the installation loops.

It is because of the system, that is packed in a .DAT way and our TWRP seems that can't flash .dat... (or maybe there is an error in the method in the script that will loop when flashing... with our twrp of course because with honor 6x it works...) someone needs to "EXTRACT" the system from the "system.new.dat" and then to write a script (updater-script) that flash it. If you know how to do please do this! Thank you!

What about huawei p9 lite rom on the honor 5c? it worked...
We aren't flashing an entire firmware... only system. And the devices are really similar... Same chipset, same ram, same cpu, etc
I know that rom aren't universal because of drivers... Well, but a "cpu X" driver will works on EVERY "cpu X", will it?

That is how it worked for most of the chineese tablets. with the same MTK cpus, if you flashed the rom, sometimes Autorotate wont work, or touch screen might fail, but for the majoeity roms i've tried on my tablet (now its in the trash) they've atleast booted
I'll receive my P8Lite 2k17 in 2-3 days and try to get ViperFX to work.. (has anyone got that working?) and wait for AOSP roms to come out (If we'll get the source code)

Yup, Viper4Android works on my rooted P8 Lite 2017.
I also used to have a lot of MTK Chinese devices, two of those the Jiayu G3 and Neo M1, and there were a lot of cross-compatible ROMs even from different manufacturers but with the same SOC.
I would love to try out the GR5 2017 ROMs on my GR3 2917 since both have the same SOC and most of the features are the same, except for the battery, camera,and screen size, but my phone is a work phone, so I can't afford to mess up.
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.
