[HELP] Honor 8 rooted on Nougat, but can't delete system apps!

[Giuskiller]

Hi guys. First of all sorry if i'm writing in the wrong section. I have a problem with my Honor 8 (FRD-L09) updated to Nougat. Today i've decided to unlock the bootloader and root it. I managed to unlock the phone via Huawei official unlock bootloader method, then i've pushed the latest twrp (3.1.0-1-frd) by cmd. All was going fine. After that i've probably downloaded an old version of Superuser, the phh SuperUser r275 and installed it. I've downloaded Phh's Supersu application from playstore, installed busybox (by Jrummy) and i was able to use various apps that required supersu just fine. But i faced a lot of problems when trying to uninstall system apps. For example, i wished to uninstall "Maps" with System app remover and it shows me that the app was correctly uninstalled and in fact it disappeared from the list, then i rebooted and the app was still there! Tried again with System app remover with the same app and this time even if the app showed "successfully uninstalled" it was still there. Then i tried Root Essentials, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, SD Maid but i was unlucky with them all. Always problems and errors. In particular, Root Explorer, after mounted the system for r/w, shows "unable to delete the file". These problems appears with all the system apps. I don't know what's going on, i've never had this problems with my old S2 plus. Hope some of you can help me. What i have to do? Uninstall phh's superuser? If yes how can i do it? Can't find any uninstaller zip around the web. Or i need to install "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0" attached in the TWRP post? Can i overwrite phh's superuser script with this? Is safe? Will it work? I'm very desperate, please help me.

P.S. I basically followed this guide: "http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-honor-8-nougat-twrp-phh-superuser/" but using the new twrp. Don't ask me why...i can't explain why i did this stupid thing.

Rooting the honor 8 just sucks. It's pretty much a crapshoot.

Try the TWRP and special SuperSU from this thread, and let me know if it works.

I'm in the same boat, I rooted nougat before but didn't actually have r/w permissions. So I've been waiting to re-root until huawei patched their bugs, but it doesn't seem like that will happen.

Best of luck.

It worked! With this version of supersu i was able to unistall all those useless system apps! I just flashed it by twrp overwriting the previous one and it uninstalled phh'supersu app and installed chainfire's one. Everything seems to work flawlessy thank you. Just wondering if there's a way to remove the annoyng screen at startup that advise that the device can't be trusted. . .

That is a product of unlocked bootloader and happens on every phone no matter the brand. It can't be removed
