Need help to root PRA-LX1 8.0.0.374 - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

as headline says .. I have a Huwei P8 lite 2017 with recent (september) patches .. original and untouched so far .. except for making the sd-card available as core memory in hope to solve the ongoing memory issues (16 gig is faar too small) ...
I want to root it now to circumvent / solve those issues since the appstore doesnt seem to care about my change (memory manager says only 5.8 gb used .. 32 gb memory available ) ...
My Phone data according to the device info
PRA-LX1 8.0.0.374 - 432patch01
- I already asked the same question in a german android forum in hopes you dont mind as much..
Oh .. and I use linux (ubuntu), no windows available .. so tools and advices for linux would be appreciated ! Thanks

Really ???? Why ?? Huawei is too slow in making the Updates , all now is Andoird 5 and P7 is stuck in 4.4.2
It's proberly better staying on 4.4.2 than on lolipop. Many bugs on lolipop.

Wow do you realize android 5 has been out officially for a week or two and pretty much every phone apart from nexus which uses the software directly from Google themselves who make android, still don't run it yet and expect to be running it in 2015.
Not even big teams that use the aosp code directly such as cyanogen or paranoid have got a stable fully functional rom out yet.
It takes time for the 3rd party developers to customize and test android for there devices once the official version gets released as they all use the final source code which only has been out 3-4 weeks.
Also no company apart from Google is much better, Samsung are still rolling out 4.4 to some of there devices with some like the s2 still on 4.2 and end of life presumably others will jump straight to lollipop from 4.3 etc.
Also on rooting what do you wish to achieve by doing so?
Rooting can be very dangerous if you don't know what your doing with devices like ours.
Take a look for example at all the posts in this forum asking to downgrade their l10's from emui 3 to 2 which they upgraded to custom versions etc without thinking and the issues they now have with boot loops and stuff.
If you want to run xposed you can find many people with similar things recently in this forum that can't get it to work.
Also rooting etc you lose the ability for any future updates via OTA and recovery and would need to manually update your device potentially bricking it every single time which bricking means you can no longer use your device and have to buy a new one.
Also are you capible on the PC with using it, command prompt Linux shell etc and doing things like installing Windows and other things.
If not then rooting is not for you.
Also do you know how to code in Linux C etc and know the workings of the Linux os, if not then there is no way you are going to make a custom rom. All you might be able to achieve is just repackaging someone else's ROM with minor edits and even then the tools to do that mainly use Linux to run as it's native windows doesn't have all the stuff Linux has natively in this regard.

Thanks For your Valuable words,
I really enjoyed them and get my mind open
well I do have Good Experience in linux and Command line , C Programming actually didnt go deep with it really ,
But i think I will stick to your opinion and wait ,and while I do so I will learn more about the whole subject ,and maybe increase my knowledge in this Field . (Android Programming - the C Programming - how things work in Android , ROMS , ETC)
but would you mind telling me from where to start ???

Apologies if I came across about abit hard this forum has had allot of impatient people jumping in recently trying to run Emui 3 on l10's then asking to downgrade as you may have noticed the other teams like paranoid are already dealing with lots of people saying there to slow for not having lollipop out within a hour of aosp.
I had the same issue running a custom Minecraft server that people got really angry then refused to play and bad mouth the server if we didn't update that day when update time for us was about a week given the number of customizations we had 41 plugin's in the end, sometimes longer if there were more changes the mod and custom server devs had to deal with.
Emui 3 and lollipop has more bugs more as it's new from what I found I may start a proper consolidated emui talk thread later for those running it opposed to all the l10 when are we getting it out help me downgrade threads.
The place I think you should start is to download the source code for your version from the emui webpage and start analyzing it out of interest.
There's another Dev on here doing the same thing so you might want to contact him for info.
Also there are tools on Linux that easily let you unpack stock image files and the ext container and repack them.
That way you can see the full file structure and how a rom is packaged.
It's good just to see what's inside roms and how the first roms are usually made by a repackage before source.
I will stress the same as above that while these are starting points you would need to know what you are doing and something more hackable like a cheap nexus or or Chinese tab (about $50 USD) with easy upgradable firmware something would be better to start on.
Also grab down the android tools with eclypse for Linux, the sdk virtual device and have a play around making a app and stuff also you can edit the virtual rom safely etc.
The Linux version of the tools is far superior as you can natively mount the virtual ext cards for host file transfer and do other things which you can't under windows.
By ext above I mean the virtual partition files which are either ext 3 or 4 last time I looked.
I'm not a coder myself and I only did basic stuff in the past as I had a Chinese android 2.2 tablet the MID ones as my first device, I used a custom rom on which was just a repack with file system changes with bloat removed etc.
I looked into this out of interest and curiosity, each rom update I repacked it with the apps I used so I didn't need to reinstall them, there was probably a better (proper) way than just unpacking the ext file system from the img adding my apps in to the deploy folder and repacking.
Also I unpacked a APK weather app etc to make changes and use a custom background and others like themes to grab icons and assets this is a good start with looking at app packages and how that all works as well as making your own app in various tools eclipse for one which is the official tool but there's hundreds of android programming softwares online even to do simple stuff as make a stand alone html5 app from a webpage.
The tools on Windows I found were lacking and harder to find for the rom stuff, with Linux it was built into the system a lot of things.
What Linux is the best for doing Android stuff I don't know so that will need to be researched.
As mentioned devices can be dangerous for custom stuff especially newer ones with bootloader security, the older Chinese style ones and some others you could reflash easily from sdcard with a update.img file as they didn't contain that lock out security on boot and debugging.
I nearly bricked a few devices in the past, once having to rely on the bootloader and Android Commander a powerful tool and device terminal to mount the partition rw while in the bootloader to rename a file backI renamed as a test that caused the system to stop booting.
You can still get some tabs that do that about 50 USD on eBay etc I think.

I'd strongly advise that you wait. My experience. You can root v4.4.2 VERY easily using vroot. Wait for lollipop, honestly. Is a nightmare recovering your position if you try to move now.

All to your benchs !

Hi all,
after seeing that my write speed is significantly different from others honor 5c owner (even with a recovery to stock firmware without apps, personnal data, etc...), I decided to open a thread for this.
Can you test your internal memory with A1 SD Bench, long or quick bench as you want, in airplane mode please ?
And eventually post your memory information with the apps "sd insight"
Read : 146,04mb/s
Write : 54,09mb/s
Memory : Samsung

And there is also a built-in memory: only 13.44 GB, employing small and loosely 13.35 GB. The question itself: it is that one section holding the android and the other the rest of the place?

Huawei GPU version

Hi there People, I have a Huawei P9 L-09C432B378 (Nougat) and i would like to know a way to see our GPU version (Model I know that it is Mali-T880) but what I want to know it's the driver that this sofrware (B378) is using.
If someone could help me I would aprecciate a lot.
Thanks
Phones doesnt work exactly like PC, so there is no "driver" that you can update/check separately and there is no separate settings file that you can modify to mess with it a bit.
In terms of spec, P9 have mail t880 in Midgard architecture
its version MP4 that contain 4 cores clocked at 900Mhz in boost mode and it use simplified driver interface AMBA4 Ace-Lite, so it provide power depending on task with less data pushing though memory.
It also support almost all modern APIs:
OpenGL® ES 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2
Vulkan 1.0*
OpenCL™ 1.1, 1.2
DirectX® 11 FL11_2
RenderScript™

Basically there is no specific version number of drivers used in P9, its all in system it self, that is provided by huawei with android ROM.
You can mess with few settings for MSAA, video quality, but beside that nothing. Its GPU on SoC that is maxed out from the box, and only way to sped it up is upgrading chip it self to version MP8 or MP16, and of course its not possible :]
My question was all about this:
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=1046 (this is a driver for 7.0 (Nougat) with a driver version 465.204.476)
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=920 (This one it's another driver ALSO for 7.0 (Nougat), but with a diferente version number (511.1023.4095))
Which one of those it's the one in ou P9 L-09C432B378????
And there is another that came out today:
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=1132 (this one it another one BUT it's for 7.1.1. (Nougat) with the same driver version number as the second one (511.1023.4095))
My question it's if is it possible to know which driver version number do we have on our P9 and if it's possible to install the latest driver version as a zip file just like the guy as the (P.S.)
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=1132
P.S. My question was all because of this threat:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-adreno-vulkan-drivers-snapdragon-t3555141
This guy made na flashable zip for their Sony Devices with Adreno 430 and 530 so they could install them and appreciate all the good things that vulkan can offer to them.
I think that this is a good subject for some question and an AWESOME answers.
ok.... so i just downloaded Hardware CapsViewer for Vulkan (apk) and It says that driver version it's the 465.204.476 so it's the first link that I shared.
So now I was wondering what device as the other one that as the other driver version, the 511.1023.4095 one? Cause for what i undestood, the 511.1023.4095 one it's allready autorized for 7.1.1 Nougat
There are march drivers, but you have to selfcompile it.

Windows 10 ARM on OnePlus 6/T

Maybe someone will be interested in running Windows 10 on OP6/T. I'm using it on my device... aaand it's not suitable for daily use, but it's pretty capable as of now.
Current status of the project:
- CPU works
- Touchscreen works
- USB works
- GPU partially works (there are some glitches, that's why driver isn't pushed yet to github)
- audio doesn't work
- wifi/bt doesn't work
- and pretty much everything else doesn't work
Thanks to https://github.com/edk2-porting for making it possible!
Tutorial to get it working is here: https://silime.github.io/2021/05/20/Windows10-on-arm64-EN/
I've recorded an video how it's done here:
Also I've tried some games on this thing, you can see results here:
NFS MW:
HoMM V:
Left 4 Dead 2:
But there is one important question... Can it run Crysis?
And answer is... Yes, it can:

Hey man, i'm thinking of installing windows 10/11 on my device "OP6" but have some question.
i saw your video of installing the OS, so when ever i want to boot-up windows i have to flash the "UEFI" image to boot-up windows ? cuz i saw some video about this , when rebooting the device normally through android or windows io reboot to android, but to boot-up windows they flash UEFI image through flashboot and it boot-up windows, right ? if so, when every i want windows i should use another PC to use windows on my mobile device
And can i use "EDK2 - v0.4.2" so that i can have wlan (wifi) support ? ( as the release say )

I noticed you haven't gotten a response.
The project is a lot more stable than it was (although still a long way to go). WiFi, Bluetooth and battery as well as a few other things have had support added since this post. I recommend joining the project's Telegram or Discord if you are interested in updates or need help with something..I don't know if I'm allowed to post the links here but it's not too hard to find
