Hello!
The problem is that themes are not applying when you install a EMUI 5 firmware from e.g. Firmware Finder.
Yesterday I've installed B340 firmware from a website and then I've updated to B350 through Settings > System Update.
Themes still wasn't working. I could open the app though, but themes weren't applying. Then I've searched for a solution and it turned out that other people had same/similar problem with other huawei phones.
REQUIREMENTS:
- EMUI 5
- Unlocked bootloader
- Rooted phone
- a file manager with root support ( im using the good old version of ES File Explorer; I suggest you Amaze too)

HOW TO FIX:
1) Clear cache for Themes app from Settings > Apps > Themes > Storage.
2) Install Huawei Mobile Services from Play Store.
3) Open Themes app and login with your Huawei ID.
4) Now close Themes.
5) Download those huawei themes and extract the zip somewhere(they're taken from B340 update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip, but the model or firmware version doesn't / shouldn't matter).
6) Open a file explorer with root support.
7) Create this folder: /data/hw_init/system/themes.
8) Put all huawei themes (.hwt format) which you've downloaded and extracted at step 5) to /data/hw_init/system/themes.
9) Set permission 0755 for folders and 0644 for files. Check the screenshots attached to the end of this post. You apply the permissions for system and themes folder as in first screenshot and for .hwt files as in second screenshot.
10) Reboot.
11) Open Themes app and apply a stock theme. Then you should be able to apply any downloaded theme.

Oh, well... i guess there isnt any solution for non rooted phones.
Regarding warranty, as far as ive read, the phone still has warranty even after unlocking the bootloader, assuming you relock it. Ive relocked my bnootloader two times already, but i didnt have time at all to make the guide.
The moral is.... wait for official ota when the device says theres an update..... dont use oter software to try to upgrade your phone...
youll end up with something not working at the end
Ive installed the Huawei internet service app...cant even launch it:silly:
i see it in the settings/applications and thats about it.... no app icon in drawer....

You mean Huawei Mobile Services? If yes, then I see that I can't find it neither in Settings.
However, if I search in Settings's search bar for "Huawei", then it show up.
It isn't an app for app drawer.

Well, it shows my Huawei acc when I touch it. I haven't opened it right after I've installed it though. It opened automatically when I've opened Themes app and I had to login.
Also, I don't have the gapps installed.

It's little bit off topic, but i have a question, how you root under nougat ? I have tried some method but all don't work.
Do you uncrypt successfully /data ?

You need to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and then flash phh SuperUser's zip in TWRP and then install it's app from play store.
Hi #Henkate,
in first place, thank you for your hard work to bring us custom recovery, root and roms for Nova. :good:
Please, I need advice, after I unlocked the bootloader on can-l11c432b382.
Which version of TWRP are you suggesting for flashing, right now? I'm little bit confused, because there is lots of versions.
Also, what root method is best for rooting can-l11c432b382 (phh or with Magisk)?
I'm currently interested in fixing Themes app on EMUI 5, and enjoying using root.
Thank you very much. With your guide I solved the issue with Themes with P10 and EMUI 5.1 (Kangvip ROM, Nougat, B217. Same files in the same indicated folder (I had to create all the subfolders under /system)..

I'm sorry for the late reply... I don't know how I've missed your post, but there's a chance that I've seen it and forgot to reply lol. Either way, if you mention my name or quote me, I'll get a notification so that assures that I'll see your post.
TWRP - I'd suggest Grarak's one or the one I've built and shared some time ago (it's newer). There's also one posted by @Temanyan in the first TWRP thread (if I'm not mistaken) and that one doesn't have the same problem with mounting /data (which can be solved by formatting /data on the other TWRPs).
ROOT - I'd suggest phh superuser because when I've tried Magisk I've lost root couple of times and I needed to reboot or reflash magisk zip... You know, that's annoying af. I'm never going back to Magisk unless the issue gets fixed.

Will this exploit work in any other device. when i try to install the play store warns about the vulnerability. Will this vulnerability be gone after uninstalling oppoown.

It should be patched in 4.4.
But some (read most) OEMs still can't manage to patch their devices up to the latest security updates on release.
Anyway, I tested this root method a week or so ago and it works nicely

It depends on if OEMs backported it, depends on which build OEMs used and depends on the bug. Four or five different zip parser bugs with similar results. This one I used was patched in 4.3, but other exist.
Im trying to figure out why oppown apk will not install in my n1. everytime i try it just. Says app not installed. But on the install screen it says something about being an update to an already installed program. Any clues as to what the issue is? all ive done is update to the latest ota software and im currently located in indonesia if that makes a difference.

It should not come rooted, if it comes rooted then no way did it pass CTS. I'm guessing unlocking the bootloader and flashing a recovery? I don't know, I dont have one

You don't need to root if you aren't staying on stock. There's no lock anywhere on the bootloader or anything.
Simply flash TWRP in fastboot, then flash Omni (or whatever else) through TWRP.
You should be able to just flash a SuperSU zip in TWRP as well if you want to root the stock ColorOS.

giuliano rigon said:
1) download twrp Yes
2) put it in root of the telephone Yes
Make sure to copy Omnirom to your phone at some point
3) flash it in recovery? No - Flash TWRP in Fastboot if you haven't flashed the recovery already. Use the official Teamwin site for guidance

This is off-topic for this thread though. Questions/Info for flashing Omnirom should be addressed in the Omnirom thread.

That does work. You're likely not removing root, but rather just uninstalling SuperSU.

Hi all...... I have just got a breif question maybe there is no root out yet for 5.0.1 or I am just being stupid but i had 4.4 rooted and updated to 5.0.1 lollipop i do have a custom recovery being twrp, however i cannot install the binary i get ......
There is no binary installed and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem !
if you just upgraded to android 5.0 you need to manually re~root consult the relevnt forums...
i have tried uninstalling super su but it wont uninstall as im not rooted... i have tried manually installing the supersu binary.zip from sd card
and tried installing a different supersu nothing will work any ideas people

Which TWRP did you use?
I flashed 2.7.0.1 but when i try to boot to recovery I get the white screen with the red warning at the bottom, and "booting into recovery" in pink at the top, but then it fails and reboots to normal system.
not working
i think chain fire didn't release root for 5.0.1....
if i knew that, i wouldn't update to this android
Works fine on Nexus/GPe devices so must be an Sense thing
Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked.
I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3
Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version)
worked fine.
Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved.
Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.
I just went back to 4.4.3 in the end and installed the viperone Rom and have to say i am impressed

You may want to download a root checker app to verify. If it wasn't root properly, I would re-download the SuperSU zip and install it once more.

My guess is the given app is not compatible with Lollipop.
Try a couple other apps that require root access; e.g., root file explorer.

It's exactly the same as before.
Look for how do I root here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
You unlock bootloader. Flash a custom recovery... I suggest twrp. It will ask you when you exit if you want to root. Say yes.
Boot into android, install supersu if it or superuser aren't there already. (from play store)
Or just flash recovery . Install a rom , likely rooted already.

I tried the normal it didnt work, how I do the second, I pressed it but nothing happened!
I don't think you have twrp installed anymore, or not properly. You've flashed it with fastboot, since updating to lollipop? How did you update to lollipop?
Normal, I never had root before. Upgraded my phone to 5.0 and then i tried to root it
Rooted fine here with normal method. Just had to update super su.
OK, can you please walk us through exactly what steps to Root you took. From the beginning. And we'll see what happened.

Perhaps even more important than achieving root is whether the BL can be unlocked afterwards - so can it? Has anyone attempted?

you are wrong.
so.
enable dev settings and mock location + usb debugging in it.
unarchive .zip somewhere
start install_root.bat
follow instructions
after text "please open towelroot" go into launcher and open towelroot app, do what need then press any button to continue
then follow instructions
zip will be updated next few days, but it definitely works even now.
i got the root access and the Motopocalypse is also getting superuser permission but it can not unlock the bootloader can you please tell me why ????
This script only root the phone, bootloader is still locked.

For now, be careful with unlocking bootloader. There is a good chance to get a brick your phone (already have a case of getting a brick using Motopocalypse).
Work on unlocking boot are conducted on 183.46.15, be patient
Ortli or kkruglov can you please post a screenshot showing your system version? There has been some testing of this on another forum and it didn't work.
Shmaks how did you manage to brick with Motopocalypse? Either it works or it doesn't.
I'm sorry, but this whole thread smacks of BS. First clue? This exploit still uses Towel Root, which has long been proven not to work on .15.

Version of Motorola update doesn't matter, because we are dealing with kernel. Towelroot doesn't work on fresh kernels, but it does on old ones. Exploit simply has to interchange them artfully, then return back as they were. Look at the picture:
P.S. New, more convenient version of main script was published by one of exploit authors, so I think OP will be updated soon with new link. And yes, it works. No doubt!
UPDATE: exploit layout, more detailed.
Here's what I got about script's algorithm at 4pda.ru community discussion, in general:
1) Script crashes moto_crypto.
2) Factory recovery gets replaced by May 1 kernel.
3) Reboot to recovery, but there is kernel instead - it gets booted, and we got vulnerable to Towelroot system under May 1 kernel.
4) We do root job, then quit.
5) Factory recovery returned back.
6) Script starts moto_crypto.
7) Normal system start, as if nothing happened.
W/o moto_crypto crash trick the kernel isn't stable + has no rw rights. Also there are few lines changed in giefroot's *.sh + custom install script. What exactly changed, and what for - I don't know, being not dev )
How is it possible to change the kernel with a locked boot loader? Has anyone actually got this to work? One person tried and it didn't work.

When I try to download, Google Drive shows an error, then finally downloads a .bin file .... Then of course cannot be used.....
And when I try to download from the other posted link.... I get 404 (file not found).......
I tried 3 times, no root, same kernel

They have to be doing this on an unlocked phone. Then, why would they even be using an exploit?

1. Enable Developer Settings;
2. In Developer Settings, enable "Allow Mock Locations" and "Usb Debugging";
3. Unarchive root.zip;
4. Start install_root.bat;
5. Follow Instructions;
6. After text "please open towelroot" go into launcher and open "towelroot" app, do what need then press any button to continue

You would name me a Cap, but - via exploit )
I can't translate all that was written at 4pda, where exploit has appeared, but here is in general. HydrogenXS: "The method, I would name it Hydrogen peroxide, is based on giefroot utility. Thanks to zxz0O0 for his hard work, and also to all authors of applications that use giefroot developments."
Has anyone actually got this to work?

Yep. Their names are HydrogenXS and serg_gangubas, both are from Ukraine

what kernel version did you have?
Hi at all,
I own this device for two months now and I have read a lot about rooting and flashing. It seems to be quite difficult compared to my former Samsung and Xiaomi devices...
To avoid any kind of bricking my phone I wanted to ask if there's a way to root it. I (still) have a locked bootloader and I installed the latest update to 7.1.1 with 1st July security patch.
Is there any safe way to root and install TWRP (and afterwards some ROMs of course)?
Thank you. :fingers-crossed:
I have root on my moto z play with stock 7.1.1. if you don't downgrade you don't get bricked
To unlock and install twrp :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-root-xposed-flashing-stock-rom-t3529637
And to root use this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/how-to-safetynet-7-1-1-update-stock-rom-t3669086
To root is better with magisk ( second link)because don't break SafetyNet and the link is a tutorial made by me so if have any questions you can ask in the thread.

If you are in 7.1.1, unlock your bootloader, download TWRP of @Alberto97 version 3.1.1-0(https://dc4.androidfilehost.com/dl/...673368273298955814/twrp-3.1.1-0-addison.img), flash it, download this kernel( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i8PfTQ1e-WQkZ5-zD52HzWO3LZ5luaq_/view?usp=drivesdk) and the attached Magisk.zip.
Now, after you flashed the TWRP through Fastaboot, enter into recovery mode, select INSTALL, select the kernel and swipe to flash it. Then go back, select the Magisk.zip file to flash and swipe to flash it. After you do it, just reboot you device and check if the Magisk Manager app is installed, if it is, then open it, click on "check safety net", tap OK and wait until it tests the root hiding, if it says everything is okay, then everything is okay.
Congratulations, you are rooted now with Magisk and the Hiding Feature, you can play Pokemon go as well and the same for Snapchat and that stuffs that blocks rooted users from using their apps.

Thanks for your response!
I've read that flashing a kernel when you're in 7.1.1 might cause problems. Did you try this steps being in 7.1.1 or they're just general steps?
In case you were in 7.1.1, did you install xposed after those steps?
Sorry if I ask many questions, but I want to be sure that I'll not brick my phone

no problem dude, i understand your concern, i'm just like this. Actually I was asking for help until last night and got all the answers.
flashing a kernel won't cause any problem since you do not flash any kernel but for your android version. The link i shared with you is a @logotoy73 kernel, he updated it last night and i used it. It's working properly and with no issues.
Today i've tried to install xposed, but due to the forced encryption in 7.1.1 it wasn't possible, even trying with the systemless xposed(magisk feature), maybe later i'll try again then i give you a feedback.
In magisk there are some xposed modules to be able to use it in nougat, but it caused me a bootloop.
If you follow exactly what i've said, you will be rooted in 7.1.1 in a few minutes!
Any problem you have, pm me so i could help you haha
good lucky

I think creating a new post won't be necessary because kernel is already in @tomparr post, but in the last page of it, the twrp you cam download from Alberto's post, and magisk from the official thread(it's actually one of the most famous threads for now hahaha), but maybe if someone else have any issue with 7.1.1 i can create the post!
Edit. If i plan to try xposed again I tell you!
I have systemless xposed running on 7.1.1 with my kernel. After installing module xposed via twrp if a long start, helps reboot.

Only Magisk module. Normal XPosed would modify /system which would brick your device. And I don't know if that could be fixed

On the first site there is a tutorial linked, just follow it. Basically get rid of supersu first. Then the tutorial probably says that you have to install a custom kernel in order to just Magisk modules because the stock one is faulty. If you ask me that's shooting with guns on pidgins. The easiest way is to get the Magisk module F2FS loopback bug workaround. Google for it. When you have it and latest Magisk zip, go to TWRP, flash Magisk and the module, then reboot. Works perfectly, though you shouldn't ever wipe or format /cache because that's where Magisk is installed now, you'd loose it.
