i use 3.0.3-0 but when i try to update 3.1.1-0 my phone dont boot to recovery. i dont know why
After flashing 3.1.1-0 with ADB (I would not recommend flashy) you must disconnect USB from device and with VOL+ and Power Button you must boot to TWRP immediately.

Systemless Rooting is always with one extra loop before booting to system.

You can use zip 2) as @rayman95 said

As for TWRP, I found this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418, it has twrp from some other site -> (https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...uawei-p10-lite.3092/p10-lite-root.829200.html), it's on German so I don't understand a thing there xD, but I see you're German so you could translate what's that about :D
Can't help you from the first hand since we have P9, not P10 Lite. However, besides the TWRP/root guide on XDA you have listed above, there is also another thread dedicated for TWRP on P10 Lite:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/beta-t3619496

Btw, if you open AndroidHilfe forum from Chrome browsers (eg, stock browser on P9 or Chrome on PC), ipages will be automatically translated to English. You can also force translation through:
https://translate.google.hr/transla...uawei-p10-lite.3092/p10-lite-root.829200.html
Not perfect (ROM becomes Italian capitol city Rome, every other thing runs "synonymously'), but still useful to understand.

There are also instructions and discussions on 4pda.ru:
https://translate.google.hr/transla...da.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=824139&st=340

All together, it seems that P10 Lite can be successfully rooted by @Tecalote SuperSU 2.82 (permissive), but of course, by installing the TWRP dedicated for P10 Lite.

Sorry, you should better ask for the first hand experience through the XDA threads for P10 Lite TWRP/root :)

Thanks for the help man, it's much appreciated!
I have just one last question, so, how do you get back to stock when you want, to be exact how do you flash a stock firmware back?
I had a Sony device before this so I had to just download a firmware file and flash it with the Xperia Flashtool. Is it much different for Huawei devices?

Ask on the corresponding forums/threads for stock recovery img - you can flash it back the same way as you will flash TWRP. There is also an ADB command to make your own reovery image (?).
Once you flash TWRP, make a complete backup of all partitions, particularly the (non-rooted) boot partition.
Hence you can always restore stock partitions from TWRP and then the stock recovery. You will probably need that for futurebOTA upgrade.

Few more hints:
-Bootloader unlocking code is free, you don't need special programs and credits (10 bucks) to obtain the code and unlock (do it yourself via adb/fastboot). You probably need to open Huawei page from PC, there are no EU states to choose, claim Hong Kong with Eglish, fill SN, IMEI (first IMEI if dualSIM) as asked, it will give you the code immediately (I did 5 months ago,np).
-First install Huawei HiSuite to PC (and Huawei) and make backup of everything (contacts, call log, all apps...). Unlocking bootloader forces hard-reset, you will need to restore your things via HiSuite upon the hard-reset. Ome things also restore via Google account.
-Once you flash TWRP you must first/immediately boot to TWRP, otherwise stock recovery will overwrite. ADB/fastboot instructions are elswhere (and in the OP of the XDA rooting thread you cited yourself). Before the final Enter, press and keep pressing Vol+ and Pow simultaneously. Enter, then immediately unplug USB. Release Pow only when Huawei displays Booting. If you don't follow exactly and timely, you must flash TWRP all over again. From TWRP boot to System, later you can boot to TWRP as usual with Vol+ and Pow, or (upon rooting), install Reboot app to boot to TWRP programatically.

PS:
-You can also hard reset to the (last installed) stock firmware (by restoring the stock recovery, too) by 'dialing *#*#2846579#*#*, it gives you a menu with options.
-Or (very usefull), install FirmwareFinder (GooglePlay, XDA), download FullOTA-MF-PV firmware for your model, extract update.app from the ZIP and put to DLOAD folder on SD card (root path). Boot by simoultaneosly pressing Vol+, Vol- and Pow, it will flash the given firmware.
-Relocking bootloader also hard resets to stock fiirmware and recovery. Ie, with the unlocked bootloader phone claims that it is unsecure on each booting, but if you relock bootloader you loose TWRP and root.

In some cases hard reset or DLOD may fail (may even brick the phone), it is better to first restore stock partitions in TWRP (I also flash then stock recovery), before hard resetting or DLOAD upgrading.

Hi, you excuse my English but I use a translator.
I have a Mate 8 NXT-L29C432B581s, decontrolled bootloder, TWRP twrp -3.1.0-next-v3, have tried to flash SuperSUv2.82-EMUI5-dm-verity-Enforcing and SuperSUv2.82-EMUI5-dm-verity-permissive, but it begins to install and then it immediately restarts the smartphone.
Do you know how I can resolve?
Thanks.

This is not a Rom, its just a method to Root your Phone.
Does MirrorLink work with your untouched Firmware?
Which Firmware to you have?
Tell me your build Number (Settings "About phone")

You should use this one:
2) SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5-SELPermissive.zip
Added init.d script and set SELinux permanently to permissive (required for Viper4Android)
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634775861
MD5: 57a081ba3ba03691c4ffaf9ab141a44e

Make a Backup with TWRP from boot, system and vendor and data (if your TWRP support backup from data) - if something goes wrong you can restore.
SuperSU Installing makes one extra loop (first one) it boot up second one - just wait until you are back to system.

I searched a little bit and have seen MirrorLink is not compatible with P9 but you can use Android Auto App by Google.
Here's a German Thread (use Google Translate)
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/huawei-p9.2673/huawei-p9-mit-mirrorlink-verbinden.821871.html

But anyway this is Off Topic here to discuss.
If you want to Root your Phone you can use Version 5b from OP (#1) because your Firmware is b360. Version 1 and 2 is only for Firmware above 38x There's an OTA Update to b373 available for your cust, but I don't know when you receive it.
Firmware Upgrades are only possible with Stock Recovery and without Root.

Hi Tecalote..
I'm on stock B361 (but also tried with B373) for P9-L09 (actually a debranded AL10 64GB/4GB). I followed your guide to root with SuperSU 2.82 (5b).
- ADB, Debug, Unknown sources
- TWRP 3.1.1.1
- backup boot.img + install SuperSU (5b but also tried with other ones)
When I reboot and enter the system, SuperSU is installed but when I open it, it says that the root is not detected.
Where am I wrong? I previously installed 2.79 for EMUI and it worked... is it better to stay to this older version?
I maybe didn't unroot well before going to the 2.82, but I've reinstalled the B361 via TWRP. Is that enough?

thx
