After reviewing the Huawei P8 Lite smartphone, I was asked to tell you how to get superuser rights on this device. This process on Huawei smartphones is slightly different from others. Let's figure it out.

The main difference between obtaining superuser rights on a Huawei P8 Lite smartphone is unlocking the bootloader. The rest of the process is no different from other smartphones. Before we begin the procedure for obtaining root rights, a small digression. Everything you do, you do at your own peril and risk. I, as the author of the article, do not bear any responsibility for damage caused to your smartphone. I performed all the actions on a smartphone version Huawei P8 Lite ALE-21

. Well, let's move from words to action.

Unlocking the bootloader

In order to perform any actions related to the software part of the smartphone, you need to unlock the bootloader. This operation may take up to 48 hours to complete. Don't be alarmed, this process is very simple, you just need time to wait for a response from Huawei.

So, to unlock the bootloader you need to send a request to Huawei support at . In the subject of the letter you must indicate:

Unlocking bootloader code request for Huawei P8 Lite

Text of the letter:

Model: ALE-L21 IMEI-1: 86xxxxxxxxxxxxx IMEI-2: 86xxxxxxxxxxxxx Serial number: W3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ProductID: xxxxxxxx

Now a little more detail. All the data you need to provide can be found on the smartphone box (except ProductID). If there is no box, then we look for the necessary information as follows. To get IMEI in the phone application, dial *#06#. The phone's serial number is located in the Settings -> About phone menu. To find out ProductID you need to dial *#*#1357946#*#*

in the Phone application.

After you submit a request to Huawei support, you will receive an email within 48 hours containing the bootloader unlock code.

Let's move on to the main process. Download and install ADB Installer, which contains the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) tool and drivers from the latest Android SDK. The latest version of ADB Installer can be downloaded. Reboot your smartphone into bootloader mode (fastboot). To get into bootloader mode, you need to hold down the volume down and power buttons when turning on your smartphone. We launch the command line as Administrator on the computer. Change the directory to the one where ADB is located. By default it is located on drive C:

We connect the smartphone to the PC using a cable. To check whether the computer sees the device, type the command:

A device with a serial number should appear. If everything is in order, then proceed to unlocking the bootloader. If not, then check the drivers and cable.

So, unlocking the bootloader. If you do everything correctly, then the data on your smartphone will not be deleted. To unlock the bootloader, enter the following code on the command line:

fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the sixteen-digit code received upon request from support.

Obtaining superuser rights

Download and unzip this archive to your PC in the ADB folder on drive C. In the settings, in the For Developers section, enable USB Debugging. If there is no menu item for developers in the settings, then in the About phone section you need to quickly click seven times on the Build number item, after which the For developers item should appear in the main menu. We connect the smartphone to the PC using a cable and run the Start.bat file from the ADB folder as Administrator.

If you did everything correctly, then at the end of the process the message Congratulations should appear!

That's basically it. There is nothing complicated about this, and the capabilities on your smartphone will increase.
