can I root the Mate 8 to get rid of Emui ?

[devoncatt]

Is there a way to root a Mate 8 to get rid of some of the EMui bloatware? IS CyanogenMod13 perhaps for it?

There is some info regarding this on the xda developer forums BUT it is complex due to Huawei locking the bootloader in a way which can only be done over the air...

Also there seems to be loads of issues with it. I personally found it too difficult to even get the boot loader unlocked without learning to read pages and pages of Mandarin Chinese, an effort I'm not willing to go to just for a rooted phone

Just install nova launcher and set it as the default launcher. Simple solution.
