Hi all,

I just recently upgraded my US Version of the M3 32Gb to the new factory nougat EMUI 5.0 version. This was the OTA from huawei since hadn't rooted my tablet. I now want to get the 5Ghz WiFi band to turn on, and from what I get, you have to root the device and update a couple of files. Can someone guide me to the steps of how to perform the root. I got the steps to unlock my bootloader. I am just not sure what the steps are to root.

Thanks in advance!

Take it from someone who has been rooting phone by Samsung,Motorola,Htc, among others for years,it IS possible to brick this tablet into an unrecoverable state.
I speak from experience lol.

Compared to unlocking the bootloader and upgrading EMUI 5 it's much easier. I did it and it works.
You will need to have TWRP installed and then flash SuperSU-v2.79-EMUI5.0.zip

1. create a new folder and extract the adb file and twrp & supersu in that folder

ADB :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862726185

SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 (dont extract the zip file)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298961353

TWRP (greatslon mod) (download the right version for your device!!!!)
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=125388

--------------------------------------------
now run this commands:

adb reboot bootloader (need to enable usb debugging)

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot (wait till your device booted )

adb reboot recovery (need to enable usb debugging)

adb sideload su.zip (rename SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 to su so you dont need to type that much)

Thanks for the help. Looking through your steps, they are straight forward. I just have one question about twrp. My assumption is I need to use twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img since I am on nougat, is that correct? I tried searching the forums, I think I found one post that stated the _5 is for nougat, but just wanted to confirm.

Thanks!

BTV-W09 (WiFi) => twrp.zip

BTV-DL09 (LTE) => twrp_us.zip

check your version info in settings......mine is the BTV-W09 (wifi version) so i flashed the twrp.zip


ps: you can check this threat for more info too
https://forum.xda-developers.com/me...ootinsecurem3fix-adbdm-verity-v2-img-t3636210
Thanks, I understand that the BTV-DL09 is for LTE and the BTV-W09 is for wifi. However, on Twrp's page, there are two versions of the BTV-W09 image, one is the twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img and the other is twrp_BTV-W09_greatslon.img. I was trying to understand the difference.

I had lost root when I used the firmware updater to go to nougat and couldn't get back into twrp to flash magisk again no matter what I did. This worked and I was also able to get the first successful full nandroid backup I've ever had with this device afterwards. Thanks.

BTW - you don't need to rename anything, just type the first two letters of the file and hit tab for autocomplete.

Awesome, that is great news. Quick question, which version of the TWRP did you end up using, the twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img or twrp_BTV-W09_greatslon.img.?

Is anyone else having trouble getting the boot loader unlock code from the web site? I just bought a new wi-fi (no IMEI) BTV-W09 and I validated the serial and product id like 10 times, but I'm getting "Please make sure the verification code and model number are correct. If your device has multiple IMEIs or MEIDs, please try another IMEI or MEID." on the website. I emailed customer support and they told me that they could not give me the unlock code...

I just want to unlock my 5g Wi-Fi...

I have finished all above, my tablet is BTV-DL09 with emui5.0 in android 7.0 B350 rom, however, SuperSU can't be found after reboot.

When I open the app requires root, it shows "Asking for root rights".
Should I flash the superSU once again? flash the zip in the recovery? :confused:
Thanks for the solution in advice.

Dear friend you say above

--------------------------------------------
now run this commands:

adb reboot bootloader (need to enable usb debugging)
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot (wait till your device booted )
adb reboot recovery (need to enable usb debugging)
adb sideload su.zip (rename SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 to su so you dont need to type that much)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CivvxcM1PCY

Dear friend,you say this <<create a new folder and extract the adb file and twrp & supersu in that folder>>

In a few lines below you say: << SuperSU-v2.82-EMUI5 (dont extract the zip file)>> So what is the right action,to extract or not the SuperSu...in the folder that we created before?
Thanks in advance
