***Edited: Important update*** Anyone managed to ROOT P10+ (VKY-AL00C00)?

[Goronok]

Yes indeed.

I imagine your theory is correct. I recall some of the same issues reported with the Chinese mate 9. I rebranded my AL00 to L29 before even attempting root.

I tried to rebrand first also but the currently available TWRP is not compatible so I couldn't do that.

I used the TWRP posted on funkyhiawei's site and it worked fine (I did use a different TWRP to root, but the one on funky did work to backup/restore the oeminfo partition)

Sorry for my late answer..
Yes TWRP mounts everything correct for me. Did you try to flash the original boot.img for your firmware?
And then the TWRO Read Only Button and flash root.zip again?

If that doesnt work, i guess Goronok is right and you have to rebrand it.
Cant imagine TWRP wont work then...

So I might be able to purchase a VKY-AL00. I was wondering if this version is for sure able to be rooted? TWRP installs and everything?

Thanks

EDIT: So it looks like I'd have to use TWRP to flash the dual sim European model to this dual sim Chinese model?

You will have no problem rooting/rebranding AL00 unless you get the eMMC version. And the eMMC is not unique to the AL00.

Okay, and what about the VKY-L29?

What is the difference between VKY-L29 and VKY-AL00?

I don't see any support for the VKY devices in TWRP?

Chinese Vs Rest of the world, but for my best knowledge they are the same hardware wise. You can also "Rebrand" from one to another. I did it...

PieceofSlice,
TWRP is fully supported. Works without a problem.
With the L09 and the L29.

Im running TWRP with a full root (without error 1) with a VKY-L09:good:

I'm having issues unlocking the bootloader because there is to "OEM unlock" in the developer options with my VKY-AL00 and can see you successfully rebranded to a VKY-L09.

Was the OEM unlock option available after rebranding?

Thanks for any help.

Hi ballistykx, sorry for the late reply. Didnt check this thread for a while.
No, I didnt rebrand my phone.
I bought an VKY-L09 and just rooted it.
I think the user Goronok from this thread successfully rebranded his phone.
Otherwise check funkyhuawei club. This is a bit of a rip-off when it comes to reinstalling the firmware, they want money for it.
But i guess there should be some instructions as well for how to rebrand the Huawei phones.

Hi.

I have the Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L09 (Single SIM) and want to convert it to Dual sim. I believe it is a software restriction and not a hardware one. Does this mean I need to root my phone? Also would I then be choosing the VKY-L29 firmware or how does it work?

Thanks in advance.
