Root

[Alta1r]

Has anybody been able to root this phone yet?
I'm new to Huawei (coming from Samsung) so don't have any experience on rooting with this brand and any help would be appreciated.

Not yet, but hopefully an unlocked bootloader and root are in the cards....

Huawei requires us to wait 2 weeks after owning the phone and logging into Huawei's servers. Then, they'll allow us to get an unlock code for the bootloader.

Once the bootloader is unlocked, rooting will be a piece of cake.

Thanks. I guess you need to activate the Huawei ID for this?

Yes, it was like this for the P8 Max as well. I had it rooted. I can't wait!

No, haven't seen anything. Some people here are testing, and they will post details once successful....

I rooted my last two phones (Note 2 and 4) but I'm wondering if it's a big deal for the Mate 9.
It's got really good control of unwanted apps, and I suspect there won't be any custom ROMs for a while.
So what are you guys hoping to do with a rooted Mate 9?

and I suspect there won't be any custom ROMs for a while.

If I recall correctly there are 2 custom ROMs floating around already, a Chinese and an Italian one.
