Hello all, thnx for reading this. Im IceQube and im a life long Iphone user since the very first one. But if left that part if me behind and choose for the Huawei p10 plus. Its an amazing phone. But i do have some questions because im a total android noob.
I read allot about rooting and different kernels. And the way i read it, it sounded pretty much the same as "jailbreaking" an IOS device.:confused: Can someone help me get into this rooting and get more out of my amazing huawei smartphone.:D

Thank you very much, IceQube.

At this moment in time there isn't any official ways to root the p10 plus.

Basically most, if not every phones are rooted in this order

Unlock the bootloader which allows you to install custom recoveries. ( Voids the warranty in most places )

After unlocking you can then flash a recovery, ( needed in order to flash ROMs, .Zips )

After flashing the custom recovery, you can easily flash root and ROMs. It sounds complicated but it's about a 10 minutes job but since your new i advise you wait for official methods because if you brick your phone, there's no way of recovering. Erecovery on the device never worked for me. I had to pay for it to be fixed. Check out www.funkyhuawei.club if it ever happens.

I can help you unlock your phone and install the recovery and current unofficial root method however you won't be able to mount /system which is pretty much pointless.

@XtraArrow did a good explanation above. In short....don't bother rooting just yet. Just use the phone as it is for now until such time you see the development thread grow with custom ROM's :)
