Why rooting Honor 7?
Huawei Honor 7 is one great Chinese phone, on design and performance side I might say that one of the best. But then, like most of branded phones, it comes with its own UI, precisely Emotions 3.1. As this UI might have a few useful options, it is generally (as many others) unwanted modification of AOSP. Most of adaptions and additional applications are adapted to the Chinese taste and feels strange to westerners.
Therefore I suggest potential buyers from the West to wait for European model which is expected to be available in early September. It may come without additional Chinese applications though it keeps Emotions UI for sure. The only way to change this at least partially is to root the phone.
In the beginning I had replaced the most inconvenient essential applications like dialer, messenger and calendar with Google’s ones and had removed all Chinese apps. But later, due to really frequently OTA updates I got tired of reverting system applications, returned all Chinese, froze them and kept only 3 additional Google apps, which I removed from the system before every update and pushed them back after.
I advise you to push desired system apps as apk files with the appropriate explorer (i.e. Root Explorer) rather than flash zip. Flashing zip according to my experience might cause bootloop (allegedly due to the inappropriate graphic parameters).
How to root Honor 7?
In the beginning I must warn you that rooting your device might be risky, especially if you don’t follow instructions. Hence, do your homework first, read everything carefully and make a nandroid after every new alternation of the system.
I’m not taking any responsibility for your device. You should be aware that it is your device and your own responsibility. I’m not a developer and therefore I might not be able to advice you if something goes wrong. I’ve just used the method described below and succeed without any issues or damage. I strongly believe that you’ll benefit from this method too If followed correctly. Do not improvise or omit any instruction.
I must apologize to not insert pictures into text, I was to short to do it in reasonable amount of time with my current knowledge. Pictures are numbered and attached.
Part 1: Unlock your bootloader
In order to root your phone, you have to unlock the bootloader first. Surprisingly, unlike in my previous cases, unlocking Honor 7 bootloader doesn’t factory reset the phone. Anyway, like always, I do not take credit for any of this material or information, so backup your contacts, texts, pictures, etc. to the computer before unlocking.
Unlocking (and relocking) procedure
Register to Huawei and obtain an unique unlock code here:
https://hwid5.vmall.com/oauth2/port...huawei.com/en/source/plugin/hwlogin/login.php
Unlock your bootloader following this procedure (Google translate from Huawei web instructions):
Step 1: Preparation Work
1. Install the phone driver is properly on a PC, driver download Huawei Terminal official website.
2. Download the ADB toolkit provided by Google and installed on your PC, such as the installation to D: \ adb_tools-2.0 directory, make sure the directory with fastboot.exe file.
Step 2: Unlock Operation
1. Put the phone into fastboot mode:
First phone off (note need to be in the setup menu, close the "Quick Start" feature, or unplug the battery after shutdown, more than two seconds and then re-inserted), and then press the power button and the volume down key (flat simultaneously Press the volume keys and power button), and maintain more than 10 seconds, you can enter the fastboot mode.
If this does not enter fastboot mode, try the following steps:
Phone off (note need to be in the setup menu, close the "Quick Start" feature, or unplug the battery after shutdown, more than two seconds and then re-insert), then insert the USB cable, followed by pressing the volume down and power button key, holding more than 10 seconds, you can enter the fastboot mode.
2. Connect your phone and a PC:
Use USB cable to connect your phone and PC, open the PC command line window, enter the ADB installation directory, make sure your phone and PC is connected, confirm method in the command line window, type fastboot devices, you can see the normal connection information, such as: 9e42530e fastboot.
picture 1
3. Perform the unlock command:
Enter the PC command line window fastboot oem unlock ****************, * No. 16 unlock code, for example: fastboot oem unlock 1234567812345678.
picture 2
4. Wait for the phone to unlock:
After entering the unlock code, the phone will automatically restart, if you enter the correct password, the phone will enter restore factory settings mode. Restoring the factory setup is complete, the phone automatically restart, enter the standby interface, complete the unlocking operation. If the user enters the password information is incorrect, the phone will prompt an error message, and enters the standby interface.
5. Test if the phone is unlocked sucesfully:
Repeat steps 1 and 2, and then enter the fastboot oem get-bootinfo, phone bootloader will display the current status information, such as the PC command line window "Bootloader Lock State: LOCKED", indicates bootloader is still locked, please re-unlock operation or confirm the password is correct and then conduct; If "Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED", means that the phone has been unlocked, you can brush machine operation.
picture 3
Note: After unlocking success, if you want to re-lock the phone, follow these steps: First, upgrade via SD card, will be restored to Huawei mobile version of the official release version; then, enter fastboot mode, the command line at PC Enter the command fastboot oem relock ****************, * No. 16 unlock code. The phone will automatically reboot, bootloader converted to "RELOCKED" state.
Part 2: Install custom recovery
All credits go to Chinese developer Wang Hao, who invented this procedure, I’m only the interpreter.
Go to the site: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=1067948446&uk=3020839592, use password: nwae and download the file. Extract and open the map: 荣耀7root工具包. Make sure that you have proper USB driver installed and ADB debugging enabled. Start command line in map 荣耀7root工具包(shift + right click of mouse simultaneously): Power off the phone and connect it with USB to the computer. On the phone pres volume down + power simultaneously. It will boot to the fastboot. Then type in the command line on the computer:
fastboot devices
if your device is recognized, type in the command line:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
when process is finished, type:
fastboot reboot
You’ll boot the system. You’ll have installed TWRP recovery in CHINESE LANGUAGE and you won’t understand anything. Luckily there is not much to understand. Configuration of the recovery is the same as in English:
picture 4
Find an English description of TWRP if you want to use more functions. For the beginning we want to root the phone so the instructions is be only about installing the SU.
Part 3: Root your phone
Copy zip file BETA-SuperSU-v2.49 from the map荣耀7root工具包 to the phone internal memory or sdcard if you have one (wherever, just remember, where it is copied) and boot to recovery: turn down your phone, wait a few secs, simultaneously press volume up and power buttons. If you can’t do it, turn phone off, wait a few secs, connect it to the computer with USB cable and press simultaneously volume up and power.
In TWRP press install (first button up and left), select zip file, where you put BETA-SuperSU-v2.49 and press the only button for installing. Then go back to the main TWRP screen, find reboot (lower right button) and boot the system (upper left button).
That’ll be all. Install Play Store from web if you don’t have it already, Busybox and one explorer with root capability (i.e. Root Explorer) for desired modification of the system. And most importantly: ALWAYS MAINTAIN AN ESCAPE LINE. DO NANDROID BEFORE ANY MODIFICATION OF THE SYSTEM.
Accepting OTA requires restoration of the original system and flashing stock recovery. Stock recovery could be flashed following procedure for TWRP flashing and could be obtained from ROM for your respective phone from the site: http://www.needrom.com/?s=honor+7&sa=search&scat=0, following procedure described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 thanks to the developer worstenbrood.
Serious advice: Don’t try to accept OTA with modified system or custom recovery installed. In first case OTA will be refused, in second case you might experience TWRP bootloop.

It's real. I did it, turned back to stock, flashed the new rom and rooted it again. I have 16 GB PLK-UL00, but the method is universal for all Honor 7 models.

Please help, the model of Honor 7 is not listed in the models so i can get the unlock code. which model should i use?
You can find your respective phone model in -settings-about phone-model number. Just register and follow the procedure at: https://hwid5.vmall.com/oauth2/port...huawei.com/en/source/plugin/hwlogin/login.php
To make procedure easier, I'm attaching the TWRP recovery img and SU zip file. If you have android platform tools already installed or can find them somewhere else, you don't need to seek them on pan.baidu.com, you can flash TWRP.img from any platform tools following the description above and flash SU.zip after from TWRP.
I'm not able to obtain unique unlock key because there is not listed our cell on that web site. in the list of all models.

OK. Let's start from the very beginning. Do you know what model of the phone you have? My is PLK-UL00 and I'm deriving instructions on this model. So: go to http://emui.huawei.com/, change language to English (picture 1). You'll get to http://emui.huawei.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload. Enter your phone model and you'll jump to the menu: http://emui.huawei.com/cn/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail (picture2). Now enter requested data. In first column choose smartphone. In second enter your model. In third the product serial number as marked on the box containing your phone. Next enter IMEI of the first SIM. Then product identification code (dial *#*#1357946#*#* and you'll get it (picture3)). Enter Captha as seen at last column and enter submit. You are done and you'll get unlock code.
Use google translate on pages to understand the text. If you are unable to follow instructions you can still write Huawei for code to email address seen in attached picture (mobile.huawei.com).
Hope I helped. Good luck

Hi,
I also had this problem - the site does not seem to list my model (PLK-AL10) on the english language one. It does list it on the Chinese one, but gives me a cryptic error and wont give me a code.
I've emailed support but no response yet.
I'll update here if I get a response from them

I tried and i don't feel that you can't obtain the unlock code. Did you register correctly? I found that your model is listed as well in drop down menu, just credentials, which logically I don't have, are to be entered.
My model is PLK-TL01H, the site doesn't seem to list my model. I've found it in chinese version, but my IMEI is not connected with my Huawei cloud account. I'll try it tomorrow again. Thanks for advice to try Chinese version of site.

I am 100% sure that i have entered the right info.
It seems that i have to send an email to Huawei support to gain the unlock code..
I'm not able to received unique unlockable code. It's because my phone number is not connected with my Huawei IMEI. I can't do it manually because in the list of countries isn't my country code and is not possible to enter my own. so I'll try to write to support. Probably I would have to try it later or another method.

Many thanks for info.
I'll write them ASAP and let you know a resolution.
Your phone is PLK-AL10. And such is listed in all forums and producer's site.
It's Chinese, the last one. I put the instruction how to handle it. As far as I know in English exist only CWM for now, but CWM appeared always less reliable in the last time.
Always nothing for plk-al10 ??

You have to use version in chinese language. For me in my country is that gateway probably blocked with my model PLK-TL01H. In Chinese version it almost worked but my phone number is not connected with IMEI of Huawei cloud because of lack of my country code in list of countries in entering form for phone number.
All Honor devices currently shipped with a locked bootloader. As long as manufacturers provide a way to unlock, then we're down with that - it helps keep your device secure and means that if you lose it, it's harder for people to steal your data (the process of unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone).
There are two ways to unlock your Honor phones bootloader, which will then allow you to install things like custom recoveries, custom kernels / ROMs etc. The first is using the official Honor method, which is free, and the second is using a third party, which costs €4 Euros, but may be the quickest option if the official method isn't working for you.
The official method
In order to unlock your Honor device using the official method, complete the following steps:
Visit https://www.emui.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail and either create a new account or login with an existing Huawei account.
In the form displayed after logging in, enter:
Your phone model (PLK-L01 for the Honor 7)
Your phone serial number (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
Your phone IMEI1 (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
Your phone product ID (to find this, open the dialler and enter *#*#1357946#*#*)
The captcha code
Press the 'Submit' button.
At this point you will either be provided with a code, or you will receive an error such as 'The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.' If you get the error, you will need to use the unofficial method below.
Open a command window on your PC / Mac, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the Huawei site.
YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
That's it! You're done!

}
The unofficial method
In order to unlock your Honor device using the unofficial method, if for example you receive the '14 day' error from the Huwei site, complete the following steps:
On a Windows PC, download and install DC-unlocker from https://www.dc-unlocker.com/.
On your phone, enter Manufacturer Mode - open the dialler and enter *#*#2846579#*#*. In the app that then opens, select Project Menu -> Background settings -> USB ports settings -> Manufacturer Mode.
Download the Huawei driver pack from https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/88D4A98C154D4E19AF9D4A1EF09BA620.
Install the Huawei driver pack by extracting the file you just downloaded (using WinRAR or similar) and running 'DriverSetup'
After installing the driver pack, connect your phone to the PC. In Device Manager, after the automated driver install, you should have no 'Unknown Devices'.
Launch the previously downloaded DC-unlocker application.
From the drop down lists, select 'Huawei Phones' and 'Auto Detect Model'.
Press the magnifying glass icon - the app will then search for your phone.
You should see an image like the one below showing your phone is found. At this point, press the 'Buy Credits' option to set up your DC-Unlocker account and purchase the 4 credits required for code retrieval (this will cost €4). You can also do this directly from the DC-Unlocker website.
After your credit purchase is complete, click the 'Server' section and enter your new DC-unlocker login details. Press 'Check Login' to validate the details (if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts).
Click the 'Unlocking' section, and click 'Read Bootloader Code'. Do NOT click 'Unlock'. Again, if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts. The white area of the app will now display the bootloader code. Screen grab this just in case!
Open a command window on your PC, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the DC-Unlocker process.
YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
That's it! You're done!
Did anyone succefuly try the 2nd method with a PLK-AL10 (64 GB) version?
I think it should work. Let us know if you try!

Unofficial method works for 16GB! But be very careful to click on the right button when you retrieve the Unlock Code from the DC Unlocker software.
I spent an additional 4 euros just to get it right the second time. You need the bootloader code unlock, not the unlock codes.
After that proceed to this link to root the phone. Works even when you have the latest B180 EMU rom too!

same with me..haha
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I read it on the official Huawei site, they will drop the warranty if I ask them for the unlock code. So my question is, if I unlock my device using the second method, will Huawei know that? DC Unlocker get the code from Huawei? And can I relock the bootloader to get OTAs and unlock it again using the code that DC gives me?

YES, they will be able to see that! And no, if you relock your device it is relocked and not locked! You will have a notification about that if you are in fastboot mode! Maybe that HUAWEI deny there warranty but you should have 2 years EU warranty anyway. And last but not least: no risk, no fun!

The steps I followed:-
Step 1. Download the Mi Unlock app to PC, and sign in with your Mi Account;
Step 2. Shut down your phone manually, and hold Volume down key and Power button to enter Fastboot mode;
Step 3. Connect your phone to PC using USB cable and click "Unlock"
Unlocking process stops at 50% and shows "Сouldn't verify device. Current account is different from the account info on the device".
P.S I didn't send any unlock request to xiaomi but my mi account is eligible for unlocking (as per Mi unlock tool).
I'm a diamond member.
Using redmi note 3 snapdragon variant(India)
Also signed in to i.mi.com and verified the device.
My sim card is activated and synced with mi account
anybody who solved this problem?

Well I tried various rom's, linking my mi account each time with the device and even doing things like making sure 'Find my device' showed I was outside China etc. I did try various unlock tools, But once the developer ROM came out it worked straight away with the MiUnlock 017.1 version.
Note: I had applied and received the SMS from Xiaomi to say I could unlock my bootloader.

If in phone settings ---> Mi Account your device shown as activated and linked to your mobile number then it's really strange.
As an option I suggest to try newer version of this tool. 1.1.0317.1.
For me switching to 6.3.31 china dev rom finally helped.
Account activation -> finding device on i.mi.com -> applying to Xiaomi for unlock -> waiting about 2 weeks -> switching to china dev rom -> successful unlock.

They do not want us to unlock the bootloader...
They say, "due to security reasons" our customer should get unlock sms, need to use account on unlock tool, use same account on device , try various roms ( including chinese ! ) , blah blah blah...
They want to lock with their OS, monitor customers and make customers into part of their product. Yeah, literally Xiaomi is selling/will sell us.
Thank you Xiaomi.
I successfully unlocked it officially in one go .

Step 1. Download the Mi Unlock app to PC, and sign in with your Mi Account;
Step 2. Shut down your phone manually, and hold Volume down key and Power button to enter Fastboot mode;
Step 3. Connect your phone to PC using USB cable and click "Unlock"
Unlocking process stops at 50% and shows "Сouldn't verify device. Current account is different from the account info on the device".
P.S I didn't send any unlock request to xiaomi but my mi account is eligible for unlocking (as per Mi unlock tool).
I'm a diamond member.
Using redmi note 3 snapdragon variant(India)
Also signed in to i.mi.com and verified the device.
My sim card is activated and synced with mi account
anybody who solved this problem?

I had the same issue with my RN3. Re-checked everything again and found a silly mistake. Before booting into fastboot mode, enable 'Allow OEM Unlocking' from developer options. Then retry the same method by Mi Unlock Tool.
Hit Thanks if I Helped You!!!

It could be that your phone number doesn't match with your Mi ID. I would suggest you to login into your Mi account using your *phone number* and check whether you have the permission to unlock the bootloader on that ID (associated with your phone number) after login. As for unlock tool, it should be able to unlock bootloader on China Stable/Dev as long as it is original MIUI ROM.
If you're getting error at 50%
1. Factory reset the phone
2. Don't set up the Wireless network and Mi Account on first boot
3. After initial setup turn on Developer options, then turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking
4. Reboot the phone
5. Set up the wireless network
6. Go to Developer options > Mi Unlock status and click on Add account and device then set up Mi Account using account Id (accept every pop-up)
7. Reboot into fastboot and try to unlock your phone
Introduction:
Honestly, this is not my work, even not my text. But it fits in this forum and i am going to update this until i can confirm, everything will work (for my device: FRD-AL10). I am not a developer, just an experienced (?) user. From now on, you can only find quotes. if there is anything written italic inside, i have changed these informations. You can find the original informations by using the given links. If i violate against the rules, i want to excuse my behavior. This thread is created to help everyone, making it easier to get a nice experience with our Honor 8.
Summary:
1. get your Bootloader Unlock code
2. Install Custom Recovery (TWRP) + SuperSU
3. FAQ
1. get your Bootloader Unlock Code
first step:
quoted from @paulobrien
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-how-to-bootloader-unlock-honor-7-t3328603
The official method
In order to unlock your Honor device using the official method, complete the following steps:
Visit https://www.emui.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail and either create a new account or login with an existing Huawei account.
In the form displayed after logging in, enter:
Your phone model ("FRD-AL10" for the Honor 8 4 GB Ram / 64 GB Rom // or maybe "FRD-AL00" or "FRD-L09" etc)
Your phone serial number (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
Your phone IMEI1 (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
Your phone product ID (to find this, open the dialler and enter *#*#1357946#*#*)
The captcha code
Press the 'Submit' button.
At this point you will either be provided with a code, or you will receive an error such as 'The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.' If you get the error, you will need to use the unofficial method below.
Open a command window on your PC / Mac, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the Huawei site.
YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
That's it! You're done!

https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
The "new" unofficial method. You have to pay 0,99 € to get your unlock code. (Google play)
DC Unlocker created some apps:
It seems, this one is created to read your bootloader code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dc.huaweibootloadercodes
Follow the Tutorial posted above, but instead of installing DC-Unlocker you can use this app.
Confirmed by User @nudi (Post 38)
There is also an unofficial method. You have to pay 4 € to get your unlock code.
The unofficial method
In order to unlock your Honor device using the unofficial method, if for example you receive the '14 day' error from the Huwei site, complete the following steps:
On a Windows PC, download and install DC-unlocker from https://www.dc-unlocker.com/.
On your phone, enter Manufacturer Mode - open the dialler and enter *#*#2846579#*#*. In the app that then opens, select Project Menu -> Background settings -> USB ports settings -> Manufacturer Mode.
Download the Huawei driver pack from https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/88D4A98C154D4E19AF9D4A1EF09BA620.
Install the Huawei driver pack by extracting the file you just downloaded (using WinRAR or similar) and running 'DriverSetup'
After installing the driver pack, connect your phone to the PC. In Device Manager, after the automated driver install, you should have no 'Unknown Devices'.
Launch the previously downloaded DC-unlocker application.
From the drop down lists, select 'Huawei Phones' and 'Auto Detect Model'.
Press the magnifying glass icon - the app will then search for your phone.
You should see an image like the one below showing your phone is found. At this point, press the 'Buy Credits' option to set up your DC-Unlocker account and purchase the 4 credits required for code retrieval (this will cost €4). You can also do this directly from the DC-Unlocker website.
After your credit purchase is complete, click the 'Server' section and enter your new DC-unlocker login details. Press 'Check Login' to validate the details (if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts).
Click the 'Unlocking' section, and click 'Read Bootloader Code'. Do NOT click 'Unlock'. Again, if the server is busy, this may take multiple attempts. The white area of the app will now display the bootloader code. Screen grab this just in case!
Open a command window on your PC, which needs to have 'adb' and 'fastboot' installed from the Android SDK.
Enable USB debugging by tapping the build number in Settings -> About 5 times, then going back and selecting the option from the Development menu.
Enable OEM unlock in the Development menu.
Connect your phone to the PC and approve the security prompt on the device screen.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'adb reboot bootloader' to enter fastboot mode'.
In the command window on your PC / Mac, enter 'fastboot oem unlock [insertnumberhere]', of course using the number provided by the DC-Unlocker process.
YOUR PHONE WILL WIPE ITSELF AT THIS POINT!
That's it! You're done!

3. FAQ
I cannot start recovery after installing TWRP
>> ( @X04D ) Use "Power + Volume Up" to get into TWRP Recovery.
>> ( @Kikito94 ) Try to restart into recovery without USB cable connected
>> ( @spotting ) In my case both tips did not help. I've tried this image:
>>> USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK <<<
I've also re uploaded the version of HRT-Team from Huawei Club:
http://workupload.com/file/mAWV8Uq
I cannot use SuperSU / install Busybox
>> ( @spotting ) you have to "Trust" SuperSU. Open your settings, go to permissions manager, find SuperSU and activate the option Trust this app
After Unlocking the bootloader, i see a new screen at startup: Your phone is not safe ... Can i disable this screen?
>> ( @spotting ) no
After Unlocking the Bootloader, i am not able to login into my Huawei ID. For Example i am not able to download a new Design.
>> (@ ???) Huawei is offering their services to a specific location. After a you have unlocked your bootloader, the device has made a fullwipe. After a wipe, you have to reconnect with your Huawei ID >> from your registered location <<
Install ""VPN1Click" from playstore. Go to "airplane mode". activate Wireless Lan. Start VPN1click and connect to your registered location. (for example Hongkong!). Login to your Huawei Account ... disable VPN, disable airplane mode ... everything is working now.

Once DCUnlockr supports the Honor 8 (which it may already) you'll be able to unlock with that (unless Huawei sends you the unlock code but a lot of users never got an email) Then simply fastboot flash the TWRP made for your Honor 8 (it's Multilanguage) and then do a data wipe (format data, type in yes), then reboot recovery and flash SuperSU 2.76. Then you'll be rooted. I'll modify the boot.img if you guys want so it doesn't force encryption so when you go back to stock you won't have to wipe your internal storage every time.

I do not think it actually support it...I'm charging up at the moment. But indeed, honor has not gotten back to me regarding unlocking my bootloader. Have it on charger now will be trying out DCUnlockr support here in a moment.
Update:
I stand corrected, seems it was made compatible with DCUnlockr 8/18
Thanks everyone, that's kinda of exciting, I can't wait see what the future holds for this phone, thanks all of you guys for your time and efforts.
I cannot, for the life of me, activate my Club Huawei account to move beyond the first step. The account is created as it shows to currently exist when attempting to register, but logging in does not work, nor does attempting to activate the account from the automatic email after registering. Not a good start for this accustomed Nexus user.

Try using the Chinese version of the same website with Google translate.
I have had success doing this, for some reason, Huawei's US portal is disabled.
I will get my Honor8 tomorrow.
I am not able to find download-links for TWRP and Supersu
Has somebody downloaded yet and would upload them here, please?
So I can try root shortly and give a reply, if it will work.
Thanks.

We currently do not have a TWRP compatible with our device. I am going to take a look at that more so over the weekend after some homework (my work schedule is currently jacked up and driving me bonko).
If I make any progress I will PM you with instructions
Hi everyone, seen that this topic talk about root, etc...
Can we expect there will be a multitool for this 8 too ?
It will be great for debranding
Thank's

Flashed it and it's working so far! Just doing a backup to verify.
I tried to flash both TWRP via fastboot to my H8-FRD-AL10.
Data transfer is working fine, but always when I reboot my phone I have still stock recovery.
Since I unlocked yesterday bootloaders appears always a new information screen, my device is unlocked and can't be trusted.
Here i have to choose, what I want:
1. Press Power to continue
2. Press Vol-Up for 3 seconds to enter erecovey and restore my device
Any ideas?
Hi there,
I am openning a new thread about this subject, because all the other threads are seem to be outdated.
I have tried below approaches:
Installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot to PC. Tried to install TWRP, but had an error because the phone is locked.
Installed KingoRoot to PC and phone. Tried to root from PC, but had an error possibly about the phone is locked.
]Installed DC Unlocker to PC and phone, paid for 4 credits. Tried to connect from PC, but unable to connect to the phone because the phone is using Android 8.
E-mailed Huawei and asked them to send me unlock code. No luck.
I have found a thread where if the phone uses Android 5.0, the owner of the thread says unlock code can be fetched from the internal files of the phone by running sudo codes from adb shell. However, had no luck downgrading the phone to Android 5.0, possibly about the phone is locked.
I appreciate if anyone can make an up-to-date suggestion.
Thank you anyways.
As far i know, there is no way to do it free. I never tested but there are sites providing paid unlock codes.
Part of them are using bug before security patches (maybe DC Unlocker too? And it's why it's not working).
The sites promise to unlock even after patches, so you can always try it. There is probably no other option, but i don't know if it works.
You can't downgrade android and do anything with phone, because phone is locked as it says - so verdict is easy - you are stuck.

Thank you for the response @Donio3d.
I have downloaded official stock rom with Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0 and will try to install it via Huawei recovery (volume+, volume-, power buttons). If I could successfully install this ROM, I am expecting DC Unlocker to work because it is clearly saying on the app that it is only working with OS below Android 8.0.
Huawei recovery shouldn't let you downgrade EMUI, but try it and post results

If it has found the working port and said, for example, "COM 7" that means the connection is successfull. Because of Android 8, some features of DC Unlocker is not working. You can try to get Bootloader code as soon as you get the application port.

I can confirm the procedure by yenerunver works. My phone was on the latest build: WAS-LX3 8.0.0.370(C605).
This was my output from DC-Unlocker version 1.00.1422:
Code:

As you can see, I tried detecting my phone a couple of times. And only when "Phone not found !" wasn't shown anymore then I proceeded to read the bootloader unlock code.
My suggestion is to disable HiSuite from opening upon phone connection and to close it completely so that it doesn't switch the "Manufacture mode" back to "HiSuite mode".

I'm stuck on detecting the COM port. Phone is recognized as always, then after turning on Manufacturer it shows in Windows explorer as "CD Drive" and in device manager as "WAS-LX1" tripple times and one time HDB Interface on "other devices" sections. Any ideas? Phone is recognized by minimal adb, but still not by DC Unlocker. I also tried reinstalling Google ADB drivers and allowing debugging in charging mode.

Do you have the latest HiSuite installed? You might want to reinstall it, the included drivers were the only ones I needed.
1 install latest hisuite
2 open developer options and enable oem unlock and usb debugging
3 open dial pad and enter this code*#*#2846579*#*# and in background settings >usb port settings enable manufacturer mode but dont go back just stick to this menu and connect to pc and open dc unlocker and it should detect your phone.
i unlocked mine with this method with same 370 version.
I'm impressed, because it actually worked... I just needed to reinstall HiSuite and buy 4 credits for 4€.
Hi
Sorry for a basic question, i am very new to all this
1) What does this method do? Does it provide you a code to unlock bootloader or do you have to already have a code from somewhere else to use this?
I have a noob question, after aplying this procedure, is there a way to unlock the device to make it work with other carriers than tho one it's blocked in?

I think you can use the option in DC that says "Read Unlock Codes" not "Read bootloader Code".
When unlocking mine, I clicked there and it gave me some unlock codes (Lost my 4€...).
Asked to DC and they said that the codes are for unlock the network of the phone.
Cheers!
