Help rooting Huawei P7 L10 B839 Lollipop 5.1.1 & UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER

Hello guys, I need help with this and I know a lot of people need info about this too, I want to root my Huawei P7 L10 with Android Lollipop 5.1.1 (P7-L10C900B839). I already tried with ROOT GENIUS and it didn't work, I got a message something like right now there is not root for my phone, and another saying that the phone disconnected from the pc WHICH IS NOT TRUE. So, could anyone help me please? Also, I don't want to unlock the bootloader, I may be wrong so you should correct me if I am but I think if I just want to root I don't necessarily have to unlock the bootloader, I just want the root for a few minimal changes (to change the font since EMUI 3.1 doesn't let us do that and apply the new emojis to my phone changing a system file). So yeah, could anyone help me, I already checked the other threads and they only suggested a procedure involving unlocking the bootloader...so HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP PLEASE :crying:
there is no other way than unlocking bootloader if you want to root your phone..
for b839 you need to replace the stock recovery with the newest TWRP custom recovery..
through this you can flash the super su (should be available as a zip-file)..
after that you have to delete the set_immutable.list by installing busybox and through commands by a terminal emulator..
when you have done these steps you should have successfully rooted your phone..
if you have read the threads entirely you should have read these information as well - because this had been adviced many times since the b805 beta..
for replacing stock boot or recovery it is always neccessary to unlock the bootloader, otherwise you will always get a "failed" if you try to flash a custom one..

Ok thank you for clearing this to me, I wasn't sure so I asked. Now I wish you could tell us step by step how to unlock the bootloader of the B839, I read the [GUIDE][HOW-TO] Unlock Bootloader Huawei Ascend P7-L10 thread but they talk about the B121, B126, nothing about B839
I used to root my phones long time a go, so I have a little experience, but I have never unlocked a bootloader or rooted a huawei, this is my first huawei. Could you please help me with this? I Know there are people looking info about B839 too. Thank you.

It's really simple, once you've unlocked your bootloader and updated to the latest stock firmware, just flash a custom recovery using flashtool (flashtool flash recovery RECOVERYNAME.img) and flash supersu zip in recovery.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/wl1gua834qefkvy/recovery_cwm_emui3.0_B609.img
Ok, but I don't know how to unlock the bootloader part sorry, as I said I have never done that. But the other things you said and the other person above about the flashing a custom recovery and flashing super su zip I think I don't have any more questions, although I don't know why in the second link you sent it says emui3.0 and B609, it will work with my lollipop 5.1.1 emui 3.1 and B839? because downgrading is not an option

it is a small one..
just so the steps the website asks to do and you should get clear instructions how to unlock your bootloader..

I just tried the dialer code thing and I got this:
FAILED (remote: data parse fail)
boss follow these procedures
1- Download adb or fastboot programs and save them to c: partition on your computer.
2- go to the file were you download the programs.
3- Press ctrl button at keyboard and right click at the mouse at same time.
4- You one option I don't remember exactly but it says something like open file here with adb.
5- You get the cmd screen for adb then you should type the following:
a- adb reboot bootloader.
b- fastboot oem unlock UNLOCK CODE.
It's not going to work, you need to request huawei for unlocking code
yaaa this is what I told him he needs to have unlock code that's why I capitalized this word.
Just go on huawei website and find about bootloader unlocking code. Its very simple

Root/Updates/Rebranding/Unbricking - Official FunkyHuawei Support Thread for Mate 10

This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread.
FunkyHuawei is a (mostly) paid service which allows you to do the following:
1. Install the latest system software, even before it's released by OTA.
2. Install beta/prerelease system software, without needing to be a beta tester.
3. Recover a bricked phone.
4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)
5. Enabling dual-sim features on single-sim phones.
6. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
You do not need to unlock your bootloader, or void your warranty to use the service. (except the free rooting feature)
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service as well as our rebranding tool within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/exclusive-att-huawei-mate-10-pro-firmware/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
FunkyHuawei, due to popular request, is now offering an unlimited pass. You can break your phone all you want, and turn to FunkyHuawei to unbrick it however many times you need to. You can also install all the latest updates, beta versions, and so on, without worrying about spending credits. You can check out more details on FH's reddit or homepage.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Mate 10/Mate 10 Pro Device-Specific Information
WARNING: Huawei has considerably improved the security of the Mate 10 compared to previous models.
This means that it is extremely easy to brick the phone if you don't know what you are doing.
FunkyHuawei tools are safe and will not brick your phone, but if you do end up bricking your phone by trying other methods, you can contact FunkyHuawei for help.
All FunkyHuawei features are currently working on the Mate 10, including installing software, recovering bricks, and rebranding.
FunkyHuawei is also offering a new, free feature to root your phone, but rooting will cause the following issue:
-You will lose your data partition, including any carrier/vendor customizations-
To root and rebrand a phone with an unlocked bootloader, please google for the "FunkyHuawei Mate 10 Root/Rebranding Tool"
To rebrand a phone with a locked bootloader, please google for the "FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool"
With these tools, a full rebrand is possible. You can get OTA updates, and the phone will function entirely like a phone from its new region.
Old methdos do not work with the Mate 10, so you will need to use one of those tools.
To install a firmware update which matches the branding of your phone, you can use the eRecovery method posted in the instructions section of the FunkyHuawei page.
However, when installing a firmware update the first time after using a rebranding tool, you must use a specific version of HiSuite. Please see the instructions included with the tool for more information.
Recommended Branding: ALP-L29 C636 hw/spcseas
We see the most frequent firmware updates for this model, so we recommend everyone rebrand to it for fastest updates.
NOTE: If you want to rebrand a Single-Sim device to Dual-Sim, you MUST use the "FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool" with a locked bootloader. If you use the Mate 10 tool you can rebrand, but you will not gain dual sim functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!
How many percentage xda took to let you put ur tool here lol

Unfortunately, no. You will lose root if you flash the updates, and will need to root again afterwards, each time, if you want root.
Take note that the Mate 10 is extremely easy to brick if you touch the wrong things, so be careful with what you do as root!

It's just a slow download, due to your geographic location being far from the server. If you are in Vietnam, you'll get better speed by choosing ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) and not 119. Or you can wait for the slower download for the newest version.
To be clear, if you're using eRecovery, this is AFTER you already successfully installed once with HiSuite, right?
If HiSuite downloads faster you can do the second install with HiSuite too.

You'd still need to use FunkyHuawei to install 119, so no... not until the OTA is pushed out by Huawei.

Yes, that's correct.
Second install is done same way as first install, but should reach 100%.

I can't get a Windows 7 computer now.what can I do?

Can kingroot root P9?

Can it? I don't have access to a pc so I can't really install any of the more complicated ones. And since we're probably not getting Oreo, might as well root my device. I just need confirmation if P9 can be rooted with Kingroot.
For the beginning, without unlocking Bootloader you can't affect Boot partition to get it rooted
you can root huawei p9 with kingroot, if your phone are on b136 or b166, if your phone are on never version, then you cant root it with kingroot!
It only works on marshmallow I think
Maybe you can root MM builds with Kingroot or Kingoroot, but IMO only upon you unlock Bootliader - for which you need fastboot from PC

Told you, this is not old KK or L. You need PC (maybe MAC can do) for Fastboot commands

Please use Google and search for the corresponding threads/guides on XDA
Read them carefully and if you have furtger questions please ask in the correspondibg threads
1) Unlock Bootliader, same procedure for P9, Honor, etc

If Huawei site to obtain the code is not available, search again on XDA, somebody recently posted an e-mail address to ask for the code there.
Or search and pay for DC Unlocker
2) Do not use TWRP from SRK tool in (1) - it's for old EMUI and MM, flash TWRP for EMUI 5.01/Nougat:

Bootloader Unlock -> Questions , Firmware : VTR-L09 8.0.0.382

Hello All.
I am relativly new to the XDA forum. Mostly i read stuff here, to get very good infos about problems you can run into, and i was able to solve them by reading some threads here. So really glad something like this exit ! Now i think i need to be a lil bit more active inside XDA to get more precise answers. I am a bit confused about the topic: "Bootloader Unlock". So i don´t know which solution might be the best to acomplish my task : get "bootloader unlock" / "root" & "TWRP" on my Huawei P10.
This is my Model :
HUAWEI P10 : VTR-L09
Firmware : VTR-L09 8.0.0.382
Since the official-Huawei sites which provided the "Bootloader Unlock" has been closed, i only found these non-Huawei sites, which promise to provide the "Bootloader Unlock":
1.) Ministry of Solutions ( hxxps_//ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-htm )
2.) Global Unlocking Solutions ( hxxps_//global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below )
3.) Funky Huawei ( hxxps_//funkyhuawei.club/buycodes )
4.) Huawei Sim Unlock ( hxxps_//xxx.huaweisimunlock.com/huawei-unlock-prices.html#prices )
5.) DC - Unlocker ( hxxps_//xxx.dc-unlocker.com/ )
6.) HCU - Client ( hxxps_//hcu-client.com/features/ )
(can´t provide Links, because new user)
I guess these "pay"-method services are the only way to get your codes for the "Bootloader Unlock" !? Can anyone confirm, that these listed-services, or some of them works ? (Sadly DC-Unlocker didn´t worked for me. Maybe i´ve done something wrong)
a.) Is it correct, that you need to rollDown from Oreo to Nougat to unlock your bootloader ? (i got Oreo on my phone)
b.) You can´t even think of to "root" your phone and get "TWRP" on it, before you don´t unlocked the Bootloader ? (Or are there maybe other methods to get "root" & "TWRP" onto P10)
It would be great, if someone can give some hints, expirences, or Links to another threads which handles this topic. When on both questions a.) & b.) the answer is = true, so my biggest problem than is, to get my phone unlocked (Bootloader unlock) !
Thanks in advance

No! You still can unlock your bootloader with Oreo installed. You just need the unlock code.

Yes, you need TWRP to root your phone, because you need to flash either SuperSU or Magisk. With stock recovery it's not possible, but you can flash stock recovery after you rooted, if you wish.
This are the direct anwers to your questions, now I'll go a bit further:
Unlock:
DC Phoenix is the only tool which I confirm it's working to unlock the phone.
You're right, Huawei stopped to provide the unlock code to "provide the best expierence for all users". I call this bull****, since DC Phoenix and FunkyHuawei are driven by Huawei.
But if you want to unlock, the only way is to pay - and DC Phoenix works (don't ask me how, I never used it, I just read many posts about it) - it's also cheap with $4.
NOTICE: AN UNLOCK WILL CAUSE A FACTORY RESET!
TWRP:
I can recommend the TWRP by @espaciosalter20 even it's just for testing purpose.
For me it works very well. This version also supports /data decryption (it's the only version for P10 atm, I believe).
Root:
The best way to root is with Magisk, because it's a safe method and the tweaks as systemless installed. This is good for passing SafetyNet, even if it doesn't work for every app (SafetyNet is a check if your phone is unlocked and rooted, some apps check it, mostly banking apps, but also games like Mario Run).
For this, you need to unlock and install TWRP. After this you can proceed installing Magisk.
- Just download the latest stable zip, the manager apk and also the uninstaller, if something went wrong.
- Make a backup of /system if it makes problems while or after installing.
- Install the Magisk zip via TWRP
- Boot the phone (takes a bit!)
- Install the Manager app.
- Done.
If you want to unroot you can either flash your /system backup or update your phone to the same or a newer version with my guide.
I hope this answered all questions!
Have fun with your P10 - and backup your unlock code if you got one!
Thx for the detailed answer !
I´ve done allready rooting with my current Honor 6 (yeah, its also a huawei brand). And it worked smoothly. Because i don´t needed huawei or any service to get a "Bootloader Unlock"-Code.
I got my unlock Code by an App !!! Don´t believe it ? Its called "HonorTuner" ( hxxps_//forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/unlock-code-via-honortuner-t3217651 ). Really a great App. But it seems it only works for older Honor-Devices. I wish something like that app would exist for Huawei P10. Anyways, just wanted to say, that doing the rooting on "P10" is pain in the ass (without a bootloader unlock code).
As said before, i didn´t managed to get a unlock code or to unlock the bootloader with the tool DC-Unlocker. Do you know whats the difference between DC-Unlocker & DC-Phoenix ? I think i need a step-by-step Tutorial to get it working with DC-Phoenix / DE-Unlocker. The last time, i tried it with DC-Unlocker it went wrong, and i lost money . Therefore i just want to be prepared, with a tutorial on it.
@absynteZero created a guide, maybe this helps.
Thx very much @Jannomag. I think this is exactly what i was searching for. I will try it out, as soon as i get some more time. Afterwards i will give you here some feedback about my P10 Bootloader unlock / rooting / -story
I am back. (or better to say my phone)
Now with a little help of this forum, i succeeded to "unlock the Bootloader". Thx to the provided links of "Jannomag". My TWRP version was from this links and the guide-how-to. It was very well explained.
So i can confirm that DC-Unlocker (DC-unlocker client software V1.00.1403) works with an Huawei P10 Oreo OS. I just paid 4,-eur to get 4-credits and with it you can read out the Bootloader Code. It is important
that your ADB Drivers recognize your phone. You can check it by typing into the CMD "adb devices", it should display you your phone serial number. Best way to install all nescecary drivers is to install the actual HiSuite, because everything goes automaticly. Next step is to Start DC-Unlocker, connect your phone to PC, find your phone inside DC-Unlocker (there must be shown a COM-x port with a number). After this step you need to log-in within DC-Unlocker Server (after you paid 4,-eur , you got a user name + password). Finaly you can click on "unlocking" and "read Bootloader Code". In few seconds you got your Code. You should copy n pasta this Code somewhere onto your SD-Card / PC.
After my Bootloader was unlocked, i was able to install TWRP and with TWRP i was able to install Magisk v18.0 , the newest version. I was also able to update my OREO ver. VTR-L09 8.0.0.382(C02)-FULL to VTR-L09 8.0.0.389(C02)-FULL with TWRP oreoupdate , Tutorial-2 ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286 ). Mission accomplished

I am back. (or better to say my phone)
Now with a little help of this forum, i succeeded to "unlock the Bootloader". Thx to the provided links of "Jannomag". My TWRP version was from this links and the guide-how-to. It was very well explained.
So i can confirm that DC-Unlocker (DC-unlocker client software V1.00.1403) works with an Huawei P10 Oreo OS. I just paid 4,-eur to get 4-credits and with it you can read out the Bootloader Code.

Can you please confirm it worked even it says in the warning:
WARNING:
Huawei P10 VTR-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
Huawei P10 plus VKY-xxx upgraded to Android 8x not supported
I am asking as I tried to unlock bootloader thru https://ministryofsolutions.com but got refunded as "Huawei has updated security and its impossible to read bootloader unlock code on new firmwares. Only 30 euro service can unlock latest firmware bootloader. "
Thanks!
Trust me ... as long as you have an Oreo OS, you are able to read the Bootloader Code. Its seems its not a big deal for DC-Unlocker. And in comparison to 30,-eur ... 4,-eur seems much cheaper . I really don´t like these methods and i am angry Huawei closed their possibility to get a Code from them, i was forced to use such a service. However, the first time i tried DC-Unlocker it didn´t worked because i was unknown about the procedure. I lost 15,-eur. And gladly i found help on this forum here. With some detailed guides / tutorials it worked for me on a second try. Give it a try. You really need to follow the instructions in the guides. Thats it.

Hi,
Have you used DC-Unlocker tool or DC-Phoenix? (Not shure about differences)
Here is what Dc-unlocker support told to me: (My info: P10 Vtr-L09. 8.0.0.381 (C432).)
"We do not have bootloader unlock service at all. Chances to read bootloader unlock code from your mobile version on our tool is very low as well."
So I'm noy sure to try...

It is really sad that there is no central point for finding the information about unlocking the boatloader for P10 phones.
I used LOS, CM, AOSP, CAF and cousins for more than 5 years on at least 6-7 devices and now feel completely helpless to be able to use OpenKirin. On XDA P10/P10+ forums lots of posts are outdated as they are pre Oreo updates and on OpenKirin chat it is a no-no question.
Just not sure how the development is supposed to stay alive longer for these beautiful phones...

You should be able to use DCUnlocker, but you may need to downgrade first (my guess is to a firmware version before July 2018). Downgrading can be done with the dload method, but it works only with specific firmware versions, check: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78558134&postcount=41
A new unlock method is also available via the Big Huawei Exploits telegram group. This is free but a bit complicated.

Thank you very much for the info M1chiel, nice to see there is someone who wants to help. Can I ask you one more hint? What's a bit complicated is what I'm looking for. Can you point me in the right way?

Look for @huaweihax on Telegram.
Guys,
You don´t need a downgrade, at all !!!
You just need to download DC-Unlocker. Read the Links of the guides in the first posts. Thats it . Don´t waste time downgrading VTR-L09 to Nougat. Just start unlock with OREO. And whats the Problem here ? 4,- eurs ?? C´mon. Buying a "Kebap" for 4,-eurs or geting Bootloader-Codes for 4,-eurs. Think about. I also mentioned whats really important & all posts before explained everything. Nothing more to say. I also had an email conversation with the support team from DC-Unlocker. They told me the same....but i think the guy for the support don´t know everything (because he is not the dev, of course). So in the end its your descition. I can confirm that i read out Bootloader Code on 2x Huawei P10 : C02 & C432 Phones with both Oreo OS on it with DC-Unlocker !!! ... Nevertheless i wish you success & braveness.
(Please...nobody can destroy his phone. Why this panic ? It is a "read out" not "writing". Just reading out a Code for a Bootloader. You can get panic when you are "writing" f.e. new recovery.img / new OS, and so on. This can destroy your phone if you do something wrong. I allready get into Bootloop, no boot into OS etc. Than i got into panic. But this is a different story)
Hi there, i can confirm similar to sledgehammer, the DC Unlocker worked for my P10plus already with OREO, i was able to read the bootloader code. The latest DC Unlocker version shows detailed the procedure to correctly read this code. You simply have to follow these instructions. the 4 EUR was it worth.
@Sledgeham @dc_01 What was the security patch of the oreo versions you unlocked with DCUnlocker? Were they before July 2018?
No patches, just used software that was on the phone (i bought 2nd hand). These 2x Huawei p10 phones were "vanilla". No Bootloader unlock, no ROOT etc. Just as it is. First phone was: VTR-L09 8.0.0.382 (C02) and i MANUALLY UPDATED this to VTR-L09 8.0.0.389 (C02) (after Bootloader unlock, with TWRP). Second phone was: VTR-L09 8.0.0.376 (C432) and i MANUALLY UPDATED this to VTR-L09 8.0.0.379 (C432) (after Bootloader unlock, with TWRP).
I think security patch was written something with 01.01.2019 and the other was something dec. 2018. But i didn´t pay much attention onto this dates. I think the exact dates you can get from the ROM vers. which was provided on a specific date, if its important for you. In my opinion get "Bootloader Code" with Dc-unlocker from OREO shouldn´t be that hard. For me it was much more work to find out which version i can update manually (C02 and C432).

Thanks for your answer. I am trying to find out why some users report that DCUnlocker works and others that it doesn't. In July Huawei patched a vulnerability that allowed retrieving bootloader codes, so I thought this may be the key. But apparently it's not!

hi there, i did the bootloader task in November 2018, at this time, the phone had applied the latest firmware. So it should be beyond July 2018. I suggest, give it a try. The worst that can happen: you may lose 4€. For me it worked with a second try, because i did not follow the instructions correctly. So you need to set USB to manufacturer mode ( see DC homepage ) to allow DC app to recognize your phone. When following correctly, the thing is done within seconds.

a free way to unlock bootloader?

hey y'all, so I have a clt-l29 from latin america (though i'm in the usa), and I have an idea of how to root for free and I haven't seen it mentioned here so I figured I'd ask if y'all think it'll work
before anything obviously back up your phome if you don't want to lose data
the first step you'll have to stay with me on: root with kingroot or another one click root service (yes, i know these can contain spyware; that will be fixed later)
^^^ I can't complete this step because the clt-l29 can only be rooted with oneclickroot, which costs money, so it defeats the whole purpose. but i know other p20 pro versions are supported on kingroot and kingoroot
the second step would be able to follow the guide at https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/alternative-method-unlocking-bootloader-t3799294 - retrieving your unlock code with superuser adb (originally i read another guide that didn't include all of the other steps, just the commands)
then just unlock it with fastboot, and flash the stock firmware again so the spyware is gone.
my question is, would this work? i can't follow through, unless y'all maybe know of a way to use superuser adb without root or a one click root solution for the clt-l29? has this worked for y'all?
