Installing TWRP is going to give your Huawei P8 Lite smartphone the best custom recovery it needs to get new ROMs installed, new kernels running and SuperSU the platform it needs to make you the root user. Out of the three options presented, being the root user is the most popular action to take next, and we have the guide for you to do that at the end of this post.

REQUIREMENTS

• You should only follow this with the Huawei P8 Lite smartphone and look for a unique guide for all others. Custom recovery images are usually device specific images meaning that you can only usually install them on one device without bricking occurring.
• You need to have a computer running on a version of the Windows operating system to use this guide. The ADB set up guide in this post is only going to set up the ADB on Windows. You can find other resources out there to help set up ADB on Mac and Linux if you need it. The files and commands are different, but you can use the same TWRP file to flash when you learn how to use ADB on your operating system.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Unlock the Developer Options menu on the Huawei P8 Lite smartphone and then enter the Developer Options by navigating to the Settings app > Developer Options and enable the USB debugging mode and the OEM unlock options from the menu.
