Hi,
I've been looking for instructions and stuff for rooting my phone Honor 7 Lite (NEM-L21) but I haven't found anything. The only valuable information I discovered was that Honor 7 Lite is probably a renamed Honor 5C for an european market. Some websites said it was renamed because there were changes in hardware (for example Honor 7 Lite supposedly doesn't have a fingerprint scanner, they say - but it's not true, from my experience I can say my phone does have it). So these websites can't be trusted anyway I guess. These two models look alike but I was thinking there could be differences anyway. I don't want to brick my phone. Has anybody tried to root this phone? Can anybody provide me any information about rooting it?
I'm sorry for my poor English and thank you very much for any answer.
Hi,
I have Honor 7 Lite NEM-L21 rooted by using method for Honor 5C. But before rooting, You must have an unlocked bootloader. Steps are:
1. unlock bootloader, after unlocking bootloader, phone will be wiped, so backup your data first - http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/...our-honor-5c-official-and-unofficial-methods/
2. install custom twrp recovery for Honor 5c (known also as Huawei Nemo and Honor 7 Lite) - https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor5c.html
3. after installing twrp i recommend doing backup of boot, cust, oeminfo and system partitions to SD card
4. and now is possible install SuperSU zip from twrp recovery. Some instructions on the net recommends using the SuperSU-2.65 - https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU
Big Red Warning: for now, there are no firmware released for NEM-L21 in UPDATE.APP form for reflashing the phone from the Huawei eRecovery in case of if you bricked the phone. So, please do things carefully. I strongly recommends to do point 3 ASAP after installing twrp.

+1. This is the only safest way OP.
Sent from my honor 5X using XDA Labs
Instructions for rooting Honor 7 Lite/5C NEM-L21 b100 are relatively easy to find and follow: unlock with Huawei's code, flash TWRP and SuperSu...
But for me, rooting before updating firmware was a big mistake! Wish I didn't unlock&root this phone yet; should have just updated with FF.
After rooting i wanted to FF update b100 -> b351 Nougat7/EMUI5... But it required stock recovery, which I had already flashed to TWRP, damn!
Now, another option would have been to flash custom ROM, but I didn't find great ROMs around, just somewhat commercial LineageOS (lacks e.g. dual-sim support)
Anyway, I tried to flash b100 -> b351 with TWRP, failed and ended up with test-keys firmware. Then tried to download FF, but the only input method in test-keys seemed to be google voice instead of keyboard = no success.
Then couldn't find stock recovery.img anywhere, so extracted it from stock update.app with extractor. Luckily the extractor had linux version too.
Then flashed stock recovery, updated with update.app method from test-keys to b132, then FF update to b351.
Doesn't seem possible to root b351 yet; now waiting for Nougat7/EMUI5-compatible version of TWRP.
Last time i modified some Android phone 5 years ago, so count me as n00b sharing this bad experience. Hopefully somebody could learn something
Hello everyone.
I tried rooting with the method mentioned by circulus. Running into a wall, can't get TWRP to start, only thing I get is the default EMUI recovery. Honor 7 lite, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1.2 and bootloader is obviously unlocked.
Any ideas?

Hi. I got a Honor 7 Lite NEM-L21 with Emui 5.0 and bootloader is unlocked. I have tried to flash TWRP with a pc with the command: fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img. The img file is in the platform-tools folder and cmd.exe says that it succeed. But when I try to reboot to recovery its just stuck in the screen your device is unlocked and cant be trusted your device is booting now and then nothing really happens. Any solution? Firmware: Nougat 7.0 B351

No... Its stuck in the warning screen... I can still boot the system by holding power but if I attempt to reboot to recovery, its stuck in that warning. I can't access my PC just yet so it would be nice to be able to reboot to recovery without a PC.

Hello
I have huawei p9 L09 rooted, bootloader unlock i have twrp recovery and I'm on cyanogenmod rom. But i dont like the interface, i won't to restore emui rom stock. How can i do?
Thank you
Go to TWRP & Do Factory Reset (Do not Delete Your System) than Shut Down Your Phone & Flash Your Stock System via dload
Thanks for your answer but this method don't work. Whene I shut down and tried to flash stock rom with dload ( press power button + volume down + volume high ) phone start on the twrp recovery. .!!?
Do you have the USB cable unplugged from the computer when using dload?
No cable connected. But on my sd I have other files with dload file ..that can change something?

It's too late now but at the time when you had your stock ROM and you installed TWRP, you should have made backup of all partitions in TWRP - now, you will just restore stock partitions and voilla.
From FirmwareFinder download b386 build but it MUST BE FullOTA-MF-PV (not the incomplete MF one), and install by DLOD, 3-button boot method. It will hard-reset firmware (but also recovery) to the stock b386

Make sure you press both Volume keys together, and not after you press Power key.
Nevertheless, you can flash stock recovery img (adb/fastboot, same way as flashing TWRP), and you will get rid of TWRP

For the beginning (to obtain bootloader code, to debrand to c432) follow the guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
However, once you successfully debrand and install c432 b182 (still Marshmallow) do not cotinue by manually installing b361 (the guide is old), rom b182 you will auomatically receive by OTA first b383 ((Nougat) and then b386

Are you already coming from EVA L09 c432, with Nougat? If so, follow instructions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-magic-rainbow-t3601064
section (4) How to flash Firmware (b386), points 1-17
If you were on EVA l09, c432 but Marshmsllow, you should probably install b182 same way (then you will obtain OTA upgrades to Nougat).
If you are not on c432, you must debrand to c432... or you have to install your corresponding MM or N cXXX firmware.

How many people bricked specifically hardbricked their phone after 2018-04-16 updates,while OTA or rebranding using any tool and choose which methods you tried to solve.
we need to show how many people we are,and seek for solution or encourage BOX groups to do something for this matter.
Even huawei may help us if they see we are bunch of people.

The only versions that will brick (so far anyway) are BLA-L29C636B137 and ALP-L29C636B134 from 16/4, neither is a noxloader version.
Bricks occur when you update/downgrade/rebrand FROM those 2 firmwares.

I bricked my Huawei Mate 10 too
Please help.. I also bricked my Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L29C636...
I installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8_Mate10 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 ROM was from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636E2R1P8B108-log (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues at all but since Huawei Mate 10's EMUI 9.0 is still in Beta, I decided to switch back to the stable EMUI 8.0.
Here's where the problem started... Since I want to downgrade, I went ahead and downloaded the 3 needed files (update.zip, update_all_hw, update_data_public) from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636B143 (8.0.0.143). I fired up HWOTA8_Mate10 and started the installation process. The first step was to boot to fast boot and then plug the device, after that, the software asked me to unplug the device and press volume+ and power button but the device won't boot to recovery anymore. The device is now stuck at "Your device is booting now..." I tried rebooting the device but it won't work. Tried to go to eRevovery to wipe cache/factory reset but it will go back to "Your device is booting now..." page. I tried reinstalling the recovery.img via fastboot and tried to boot to recovery mode again but it won't work anymore. I believe my device is now soft bricked . I can still boot to fastboot, I even tried fastboot flash system system.img which was successful but the device still won't boot. Please help how to recover my device. I think I went too far and now I don't know how to fix this issue.

did you tried huawei pc app (hisuite)?
your problem maybe is because magisk, try to install in twrp "magisk uninstaller". or try to install via twrp, recovery_ramdisk.img, kernel.img and ramdisk.img from the last rom of android 8 (extract with huaweiupdateextractor), then install via twrp with hrupdater 0,4 the same update.zip that you extract the kernel.img, recovery and the other img that I told you.
look at the guides of the preocesses that I told you, if you have any question let me know

If the update process didn't even started, you need to flash stock Pie kernel, recovery_ramdisk and system, using fastboot.
This should get you back to a working OS.

as far as I can read, I think he wants to come back to OREO, so he has to install first recovery_ramdisk.img, kernel.img and ramdisk.img from 8.0.0.143 (extracting those files with huaweiextractorupdate) and then flashing those files via fastboot or your twrp version. Then, he has to use hrupdater 0.4 to install 8.0.0.143
Am I right Pretoriano80?
please, fell free to correct me if i have commited any mistake
PD: MANDATORY TO HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER FOR THE PROCESS

No, first he has to recover the current OS, and my advise was only for that.
Then he will need to use a TWRP + NoCheck combo, to get back to Oreo.
HuRUpdater can't get you back to Oreo so you guys should stop using that with Pie.

I also installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues too. After a while I decided to switch back to EMUI 8.0. using also HWOTA8 I put three zip files with EMUI8 (update.zip .....). Update ended with error. That's it.
I only have fastboot working but I am able to flash only few partitions System.img, Recovery_ramdisk.img, Kernel.img. I tried to flash them many times - nothing.
Couple months ago I messed up with my phone and I had to buy and use DC-Phoenix. It worked for me then. This time did not because DC-Phoenix only support EMUI 8. They refunded me money I paid for - that's good thing but my phone is still bricked.

(Firmware 9.0.0.108,device bla-l09,no serial number, no IMEI and battery status 0)
HiSuite says device is not supported.
Is there any way to force HiSuite to recover not supported device?
Anyone knows the solution?
I booked my phone for repair with Huawei Service.

I also installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues too. After a while I decided to switch back to EMUI 8.0. using also HWOTA8 I put three zip files with EMUI8 (update.zip .....). Update ended with error. That's it.
I only have fastboot working but I am able to flash only few partitions System.img, Recovery_ramdisk.img, Kernel.img. I tried to flash them many times - nothing.
Couple months ago I messed up with my phone and I had to buy and use DC-Phoenix. It worked for me then. This time did not because DC-Phoenix only support EMUI 8. They refunded me money I paid for - that's good thing but my phone is still bricked.
Then I've found MultiTool for Huawei

I have tried. I flashed Pie 9.0.0.108 - nothing, 9.0.0.112 (chinese ver) - nothing. I tried BLA-L09 8.0.0.148(SP1C432) - nothing.
After flashing recovery_ramdisk, kernel and system of all above firmware there is no change only fastboot is working.
The problem is that downgrade process from Pie to Oreo went to 95% ( I thing - I don't remember exactly but for sure it was 90 something). It could have changed most of partitions to Oreo but left one or few unchanged (like verlist.img, xloadr.img, vendor.img, product.img).
From fastboot I am able to change (flash) only few partitions.
Do you gays know any other tools like dc-phoenix to force to flash all partitions. (Couple months ago when I used DC Phoenix with Emui 8 it used backdoor to flash difficult partitions.)
Example:
Writing XLOADER partition with file X:\Install\Telefony\Huawei_Mate_10_pro\DC_Phoenix_v50\XLOADER.img
XLOADER partition UPDATE ...FAILED
Cannot get FBlock info from device
Activating backdoor: DONE
Writing XLOADER partition with file X:\Install\Telefony\Huawei_Mate_10_pro\DC_Phoenix_v50\XLOADER.img
XLOADER partition UPDATE ...OK

I think you should use my TWRP + NoCheck recovery and try to flash the Pie beta again.

So you can only boot to fastboot, no matter what?

Hi, I'm in a bad situation. My honor 9 lite (Europe) has no OS, frp lock. But it does have TWRP installed.
My question would be, since I can't flash an OS (given the frp lock) via fastboot, would it work via TWRP? Or should I just give up and buy a new phone?
Thanks a lot.
Best
Since you have TWRP, try using HURUpdater tool. It is compatible with H9L.

Hi,
thanks a lot for the tip. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error when flashing following the instructions.
I discovered that nonetheless I can flash roms with TWRP. There is one particular rom, this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/rom-t3753555 that works particularly.
However, my device with that rom keeps giving me an error "bluetooth keeps stopping". Any way to solve that?
I really don't know a solution.
Can't you enable OEM unlock in settings/developer options? so that to make frp unlocked?
Yes.
After that, I was able to finally flash stock rom
However, there's a new issue: wifi doesn't work. It actually seems like whatever rom I flash, wifi won't work the slider turns off as soon as I turn it on
Did you wipe data/factory reset through eRecovery after flashing? That is important in most cases!

No I did not. I think I used TWRP to do that. Will do with eRecovery next time and update you
I am still without WiFi.
I think the problem lies in the fact that my stock ROM comes from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/how-to/guide-unbrick-device-recover-bootloop-t3772563
I had oreo 8.1 before brick, and the rim above that I flashed is 8.0 and Indian version (not european). That maybe could explain the issue.
Problem is, I would need a system.img stock ROM to file and I can't seems to find that. In Huawei firmware finder, I only get update.zip kind of files and TRWP returns error when flashing that or when I use the HuRUpdater tool.
Also, I've noticed it's not just the WiFi, but also security options and themes for some reason
you need a working frp image which in twrp can flashed via dd... so the frp lock is gone...
In telegram group you can find image.

The system.app file you search for is in the update.zip file you get and you cannot flash update.zip directly from twrp, you need HuRupdater for that and the dload method doesn't work for almost anyone including me.
And you need correct the firmware for your motherboard if you want your phone to work properly.
First tick oem unlocking in developer options. Then unlock fastboot and flash TWRP.
Since you are able to boot up check your varient, the complete one not just the LLD but the rest too. Search for it in Huawei firmware finder and download the latest firmware for your model. You'll get 3 links and you'll need all three.
Download HuRupdater 0.3 zip and then rename the 3 files you got as told in the HuRu instructions. get twrp image and rename it to recovery.img and put all files in the same folder.If you want to completely revert to stock you don't have to have recovery.img but keep it just in case.
Then flash HuRupdater using twrp. You should be up and running if you did everything right.
You can then remove the recovery.img and then flash again using HuRupdater and relock the fastboot too later if you wanna play things safe using fastboot relock bootloader 'your code' .
please help me, honor 9 lite last night my flash rom forgot the data format so now can not boot into the operating system, locked FRP, can not enter the TWRP.
Hello, I know it's been a long time. I put the issue aside for a few months as I had another phone to use in the meanwhile just wanted to let you know i Just did the procedure you described and it worked perfectly! The phone is back to life :laugh:
Hi,

I'd suggest HurUpdater: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...h-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/page111
OTAs do work with an unlocked bootloader, but not with root or custom kernels.
Does this works with the P10? In the post i ddin´t found the P10.
And if it works, wich zip file i have to choose? And i have root
Thanks
Try my guide (Tutorial #2, Oreo to Oreo)
After that do a factory reset with eRecovery (boot with Vol+ and connected USB).
What also should work is flashing the system.img manually via fastboot.
For this extract the system.img from the correct firmware version with Huawei Update Extractor.
Connect your phone to your PC, boot into fastboot and flash with "fastboot flash system PATH\TO\SYSTEM.IMG".
After that do a factory reset with eRecovery (boot with Vol+ and connected USB).
Note for the next time: backup your system partition via TWRP before flashing the custom rom.
Also note that a factory reset is needed, without your phone won't boot, so backup your personal data before doing it.

Yes, it works on the P10. You can download the files with the firmware finder app. I'd recommend the newest oreo version for your customisation (e.g. B382 for C432).
But Jannomag's solution should work equally well.
Wich Jannomag´s thread?
Do you have the link, please?

The fourth message in this thread
I am sorry, maybe i am just dumb but i can't find it
I followed the guide but know i am i an bootloop. I get the message "your device has failed verification and may not work properly"
It restarded, but as D188-L29!!! I download the VTR-L29 on https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VTR-L29C432&firmware_page=0
Now i can't update or nothing

Possibly you renamed the wrong customisation file (i did it once for the 09 while I needed the 29).
Which one did you download? And did you flash manually or did you use my script?
Download my oeminfo, it's from VTR-L29C432 Version 8.0.0.380, while the version doesn't really matter.
Flash it via TWRP using "Install" and "Use Image". Flash it to oeminfo partition. Then do my update script again.
I followed the guide to do Oreo to Oreo - basically wanting to get from custom Rom (fRomFuture B370) back to stock, so I chose the same firmware version to extract. Flashed everything with the script and it went fine and it boots and works.. but
The resolution seems to be off, too low and the right side of the screen is unresponsive to touch (about 1cm )
EDIT- Rolled back to fRomFuture B370 for now - need to find a way to get back to stock, as want to move on to Openkirin ROM instead
HI, i have a vtr-l29 root, i want to unroot(version oreo), how do i do it? what do i need to flash?. thank you Alex
