Good night herr Mutahhar Bashir i ran his p9 lite guide today, it all went well but I encountered a problem with the security settings, they no longer open and i can not install apps out of google play, as i could install without using “settings safety”? thanks, see you soon
What is your complete build number number?
Hi
I’m still having stock recovery after installing TWRP, any solutions?
thanks!
Impossible, either your twrp isn’t installed. Or you are entering erecovery
I flashed it via fastbook, and it says it’s done, but when I launch recovery I still find stock one
It’s impossible, i have done it as you can see in video, don’t let phone start normally after flashing twrp
yoou need to flash recovery2, because then it flashes the erecovery (worked for me)

What i assume your nougat installation was incomplete. Maybe it wad ndrm90 test keys.
Things you can try.
1. Format data in twrp
2. Flash full data package zip using twrp matching region of your phone.
3. Then make root
4. Clear cache and reboot
5. Don’t wipe any partition in twrp. You will be in trouble

Witch differences between SuperS and PPH Superuser?
Both are root manager, depends which one compatible with firmware
Hi, thanks for sharing it works for me, it’s good knowing I’m a noob.. now I’m on vns-L31C432B370 and I would update to 380 but I need to unroot my phone, do you know what can I do?
I reinstall the firmware B370 to unroot and I update to B380 but it don’t want to boot anymore! Please help 🙁
Is your bootloader and frp still unlocked?
It’s me again.. x/ I thougth it was a bootloop but no, there was an alert at the boot “verification failed” but the phone boot normally, then I went to option and there is the new update package called B380-full instead of B380, I install it and it seems ok.

Disconnect phone from computer, before entering twrp
Hello!
After entering the commands and trying to log in to twrp recovery, I’m prompted to enter into erecovery (3 seconds sound up) or further download (once to turn on the power) and I can not install and all further actions. I ask you to help, please!
Model: HUAWEI VNS-L21
Number: VNS-L21C10B388
It seems to be doing everything according to the instructions …
P.S. I apologize for my bad English!
After flashing twrp, disconnect phone from computer and then hold volume up and power to enter twrp
Thanks for your reply!
That’s exactly what I did, but it still happens. I did this with and without connected USB.
Then you are not holding it long enough, keep holding both buttons until twrp appear
Thank you very much! It works!
