Successfully rooted using this method. Now I've got an update to 8.0.0.141. Should I update? Would that mess with the root?

Also any luck with xposed? Tried to install it last time and it went to a bootloop.

How did you came back from bootloop?
I went to customer centre. Didn't tell them I rooted the phone. They changed the board under warranty. But I had to do that because the stock rom wasn't available at that time. If it's available, you can use DC-Unlocker to flash it.

I just bought it 3 days before and i thought that they might not recover for free cuz it's rooted because when i open it says you phone is unlocked and can't be trusted.
Btw DC unlocker is paid you know any free?

I had relocked my phone and it wasn't even booting up to the 'can't be trusted screen'. Also, I paid for DC. Do not know of any free substitute.

U can try commend in fastboot "fastboot boot TWRP.IMG" I had the same problem but i have stock recovery so after relock bootloader i had access to recovery

I didn't understand what you're saying I'm sorry I'm just beginner. When i type "fastboot boot TWRP.IMG" in fastboot it says "cannot load 'TWRP.IMG': No such file or directory"

When in fastboot mode and unlocking bootloader it says it also factory resets the device when it unlocks the bootloader. Is there a way for unlocking without factory reset?

Nope.

Thats why we always unlock the bootloader the day the phone arrived. Prior to doing anything else/mod.

How to get updates after rooting? Updates from Huawei doesn't apply anymore. Any way to get stock updates? Or are there any good custom roms?

Just flash back the original ramdisk, execute the OTA update procedure, flash the custom ramdisk back.
No data is lost during the procedure.

I did this but system updater saying no new updates. I'm currently on 8.0.0.131. Didn't 8.0.0.141 update come long time back?
Using ANE-AL00 C675
