For an easy way to Unlock, Root & Decrypt your Mate 8 here are the steps you need to take. This has been requested by a number of you so here it goes:
1) Unlock your bootloader. There are three steps you can take. The first is free. The second method requires you to pay a few dollars but it works and is the fastest way. I would highly recommended this method. This is confirmed working on all models.
Option 1: Make a Huawei ID on your phone and stay signed in for 14 days and go then online to unlock your bootloader and it should work on the website.
https://uniportal.huawei.com/accounts/register.do?method=toRegister
Option 2: If you want to unlock your phone immediately and don't mind paying a few dollars this method works. Visit here:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy
- Download the DC Unlocker Software
- On their site buy 4 credits. I used PayPal. It cost me around $4.38 USD.
- Follow the instructions in their tutorial. Choose "Read Bootloader Code" in DC-Unlocker to get your bootloader code. It was pretty easy.
- Put your phone in bootloader mode (plug into the computer and hold in power and volume down with the phone off) and download the Android tools from the link at the end of step two. Extract them to a folder on your desktop and open a command prompt to that folder and type in fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx where x is your bootloader unlock code the DC Unlocker program gave you.
2) Download the TWRP recovery of the EMUI version you are currently on (5.0 ,5.1, 6.0) from here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5I_q70mNuR4Vmo5LUUyU2t5TWs?usp=sharing
Then put your phone into Bootloader Mode (plug phone into computer and hold in power + vol down) and fastboot flash the TWRP recovery file you downloaded. Here are the Android tools you need to fastboot flash. Extract them to a folder and put the twrp recovery img file inside the folder as well and open up a command prompt to the folder and type in fastboot flash recovery TWRP-ENG-XXX.img (where XXX is the version of TWRP you downloaded) Then type in fastboot reboot. When your phone reboots shut it back down and then hold in volume up and power until it turns on and keep holding in volume up until the phone boots into TWRP recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4UzdkeERRZExnUVk/view?usp=sharing
3) Root your phone.
In TWRP flash SuperSU:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4OWlXeTJuTjdoS0k/view?usp=sharing
After flashing you will be rooted and on TWRP successfully.
4) Decrypt your internal storage.
You must decrypt your internal storage so TWRP can see it or if you want to be able to flash a rom. If you're getting an unable to format data in TWRP then you know you need to do this. Boot into TWRP then go to Wipe then Advanced Wipe then Format Data and type in yes. This will wipe and decrypt your internal storage. BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE before you do this if you have anything important on it. (Pics are at the bottom of this post) Then either flash one of my roms or decrypted boot.img to keep the internal storage decrypted. If you boot with the stock boot.img installed it will encrypt your internal storage again and you'll have to repeat the process.
*To take an ota or do the dload method you don't have to relock"
does flashing supersu through twrp directly work? in my case i needed to flash the decrypted boot image first, otherwise id have a bootloop after rooting...

It works for me when i'm on stock B137.
good stuff, maybe it was because of a different supersu version which phone do u have? AL10 or L29?

I believe so. I'm not too familiar with the International firmware. I saw it posted somewhere so I saved it in case anyone needed it.
yep thats correct, B137 latest chinese and B133 latest international rom
thanks for the info, i had some problems with flashing supersu, but once i flashed the decrypted boot image my bootloop and partition mounting troubles in twrp were gone no idea what exactly was the culprit there but i guess ill stick to flashing the decrypted boot.img first before continuing with rooting a firmware...

I made it two days ago and it works with mate8.
Does this now mean we are likely to see numerous custom roms & kernels being developed in the very near future for this awesome smartphone ?
i sure hope so especially since huawei seems to have publicized its kernel source for the mate 8 just recently in the end it depends on the interest of the devs, though, and the overall popularity of the mate 8! im staying optimistic that itll be better than with the mate 7

Don't worry, it works with the Mate 8. You're doing something wrong if it didn't work.
Say we do unlock BL and then root... Than I guess we cannot get OTA updates right? Also does the BL re-lock?

You should still get ota updates if you're unlocked and rooted. Yes you can relock just make sure you fastboot flash or do the dload method to get back to stock before you relock.
it's the code in first line, cofusing

Hi guys I get this phone from not much time so i decide open this thread for explain the basic and necessary
1. How to unlock bootloader?
As all know Huawei web page for get unlock code not is working an also email assistance so how you can get the code,
well follow this:
- You must stay in a firmware less of 4.4.2 or 5.1.1 not 6.0 in my case I use this firmware "MT7-TL10C900B326" *If you're in 6.0, so must downgrade.
- Then to install or stay in a 4.4.2 or 5.1.1 base, download and install Kingroot (Phone will said u that could damage your phone but install it, no problem with it)
- Now open Kingroot and follow the instructions for root your device
- When all has sucessfull now install HonorTurner that can get in this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/unlock-code-via-honortuner-t3217651
- After to install grant the root access permission and go to this tab " Hardware Info" and look this line "WVLOCK" (This is our unlock code, so copy the code in a secure place)
- Now go to "Developer Options" If dont have enabled go to about phone info and press sometimes "Build Number", and enable "USB debugging and allow all and be sure that have installed huawei suite in your pc for get the drivers installed
- Now download the "SRK Tool" from this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-beta-02-20160501-t3369990
- After to download connect your phone to your PC, dont press nothing in the usb options, only connect
- Now run the SRK Tool and press 1. Unlock bootloader, will ask if you have your unlock code (that we get it with HonorTurner) so press Y, and will start the adb service and will ask for our code, after to add the code, the phone will reboot automatically and u can go to fastmode and look that your device know is unlocked
2. How to install recovery?
* If want install MM before of all u can do it, only be sure that have your bootloader unlocked
* For enter to bootloader mode press Vol + then Vol - and Power at the same time with the phone turn off
- Donwload latest recovery for your variant, in my case M7-TL10 (You can found it here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784)
- For M7-TL10 download this --> https://mega.nz/#!9kBWnY7T!ybhARn5UNXAyxrdQZ1ytKks24eCyzxkgdVhEza6zwFQ
- Connect your phone and be sure that have enabled USB Debugging option and have unlocked the bootloader
- Run the tool and select the recovery that want install
- Wait that the tool finish to install and will reboot automatically, and enjoy!
NOTE--> For enter to recovery mode press Vol + and Power at the same time with the phone turn off
3. How to root your phone?
For 4.4.2 and 5.1.1
- Download and install KingRoot from this link: http://king.myapp.com/myapp/kdown/img/RushRoot-CafeUser-release-nolog-sdk-lc64E08B246F910AF4-b220-svn372160-201609012210b_protected_signed.apk *(Phone will said u that could damage your phone but install it, no problem with it)
- Now open Kingroot and follow the instructions for root your device and wait
- And your phone will be rooted!!
For 6.0
- Download and install a custom recovery *Is necessary unlock your bootloader for it
- Download SuperSU with/without apk from here --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668276376 or https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668276377 and copy to your phone, if both zip dont work so use this one https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=601296195406528565
- Go to recovery mode (Turn off the phone and press Vol + and Power at the same time of 5-7 seconds)
- Now search and install zip "SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" and wait that the installation finish
- Reboot and enjoy of your rooted phone in MM
I do this thread and guides in 1 place because I see that some info in the others threads are wrong or one in place and other in other place, so for this I decide do it, If any want another guide let me know and I'll add it in this thread, so enjoy of your Mate 7!

Updating guide
Hello friend. Sorry I write you here but it seems that you are good in rooting and I need some help as I am really desperate since I can't backup, and use the apps I need without root access. I always have been rooted in any phone but since I received an OTA update, around 1 giga , giving me the Version Android 6.0 on my phone MT7-TL10C00B561 (Chinese) I lost root.
I tried some guides for uncloking the bootloader but I get the msg like it has not been used for 14days or smth like this.
Can you(or someone) please help me as this phone is out since 1 and half year and I still can't get the root.
Thank you in advance.
Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-TL10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Do you try downgrade to first mm and then to lp??? Try do it and use kinguser to root and honor apk to read unlocked bootloader code
send from ? if I help you you can buy me ?
Thanks but I had it with KitKat than lollipop rooted (without locking the bootloader) after I updated to mm (by ota) I lost the root... :/

just downgraded to B358 and i just lost ALL my important Data, photos, screenshoots (very important) , app datas , configurations ,,,,ALL !! I did not expected to loose the data...as i did not lost any data when i upgraded... but also i could not do any backup as i was not rooted so i could not save the app data etc... I am really sad !
Just hate this phone! Will try unlock bootloader and see if i can get root and update to MM.
So, by your guide i rooted with KingOroot the Lolipop.
Than the Phone got some updates by OTA and now i have the version B561 (all the log is in chinese)
So now i dont have the Root anymore.
I tried the recovery you have uploaded over, twrp 3.0 but when i enter recovery it does not askes me to update but only : reboot, wipe/reset , cache . (with emui logo)
so i guess i still dont have a costum recovery ?
How can i Root it with supersu if i cant choose the zip file with the supersu ?
doubt, and sorry for the silly questions :
- what is the better firmware? the asian version or the european ?
wich one should i use?
and, what about the ota updaes. how can i get them ? do i have to put the huawei recovery again after the root so i can get them ? right ?
and do the same procedure : update- installing costum recovery - root again and install again the huawei recovery ?
thank you !
waiting to root the MM as i have now unlocked bootloader.

Hi,
It seems it didnt install. Perhaps try again? Did you run the tool mentioned in the OP?
I'm not sure what the difference is between asian and european firmwares. I've jumped between middle-east and european roms, and didnt notice much difference.
If you are rooted, and you want OTA updates, you need to first un-root (can be done in the SuperSU app) and install huawei recovery, then you will receive updates.
Then you can just re-flash TWRP and SuperSU, and you are rooted again.

Install a custom recovery and wipe caché or data if still in bootloop

Hi to everybody
I'm doing this thread because I've seen that there's a lot of confussion about how to install all this things properly, and I think that concentrating the wide-spread information could help you to get rid of this. First of all I have to thanks @aaawqw and @Moyster for their great efforts.
This is going to be a recopilatory of several sources and personal tips to help you to do this the easiest way. I'm not responsible of bricked phones nor your personal problems.
Please, read the full tutorial before doing anything, to avoid bricks and those things.
PREPARE THE RECIPE
Download these files:
- Unlocking bootloader tool: HERE
- TWRP image from Moyster (creator of LOS14 for our device): here
- If you want to install a modified version of FlymeOS, use this one from Romul35 from 4PDA: here. Original post
- Last LineageOS 14 build: from this thread. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO THANK THE DEVELOPERS
- GApps: here I recommend the nano option. Choose ARM64 and Android version 6.0.
Put those three last files into your internal memory. If you've got an microSD card, I recommend you to put them into it (it's safer and easier).
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
To unlock the bootloader go to:
- Kevin.MX @aaawqw) post: here
Finally we have a guide to unlock the bootloader of Meizu m2 note. We need Mediatek SP Flash Tool, MTK phone drivers and the images/bin files for unlocking. No modaco superboot, no fake tutorials any more
Now here's the guide:
1. Download the files I provide
Then unzip it. You'll get a folder with FlashTool, Phone drivers and unlock images.
2.Install drivers for Mediatek platform.
3.Flash the temp-unlock-secro.img via Flashtool. (secro row)
4.Flash secro.img, lk.bin, preloader_meizu6753_65c_l1.bin via Flashtool. (secro, lk and preloader rows respectively)
5.Disconnect USB data cable and power on the phone. If you see the "=>Normal boot" sign(it's quite small.......) in the left bottom cornor of the screen, then the unlock is done. You can now flash things in whatever way you like. The guide is over~~~
The full tutorial is here
The unlock tool is here
Thank you for testing&trying!
If you've seen this spoiler and didn't thank Kevin, please go to here and thank him. This motivates him and gives him the recognisement he deserves.
- Robot Hijau 97 Youtube video: here It isn't in English, but may help if you find any problem or get lost during the unlocking. Leave him a like if it helped you.
This unlocking guide only works for M571 model. If you try this with a M571C (China Telecom) model, you'll get a bricked phone (very useful if you like paperweights )
THIS METHOD DOES WORK FOR M571H MODEL. DON'T WORRY, THE ONLY ONE THAT GIVES SOME ISSUES IS THE M571C.
The great user @aaawqw states "And Meizu M571C should use the same method of meizu m2 (mini), a shell script for frp unlock. But no recovery images yet…Different hardware and partitions"
Tips to unlock the bootloader easily:
- If you're going to do it from a Windows 10 or 8 pc, have in mind that to install unsigned drivers you'll have to unlock the feature in your pc. A guide to do this: here
- Select the images to flash and hit the Download button before connecting your Meizu (pressing Vol Down button). This will help you if it turns on and off and makes the flashing impossible.
- Download the guide or see the video to correctly follow all the steps. You don't want to lose your phone, don't you? Don't try to mix guides, because you may skip a step and brick your phone. The video and Kevin.MX guide are the same procedure, they both are safe.
INSTALLING TWRP
Once done this part, we'll proceed with the installation of TWRP recovery image. There are two ways, choose the easier to you:
- Flash TWRP from SP Flashtool (original idea from @widagdag. The post: here)
+Turn off your device
+ By using your pc or laptop, extract the TWRP zip for meizu m2 note, there's a file "recovery.img"
+ You can flash it via SP flash tool (clicking the recovery, then select the file)... then click Download, wait until finished!! (Check symbol)
+ You can reboot ur device now, unlocked bootloader and installed twrp!
*The profit is u didn't need to root first and install any flash tool such as Rash, FlashFire, Flashify, etc. saving you some time
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Flash the recovery image from Flyme:
+ Get root access (if you do, skip this step). You can get it downloading Kingroot: here. Just install this apk and follow the steps
+ Unzip TWRP zip into a known folder
+ Download Flashify from the Playstore
+ Grant superuser access
+ (Optional) make a backup of your current recovery going to backup tab
+ Tap Recovery Image
+ Choose a file
+ Find TWRP img that you unzipped before and flash it

INSTALLING CM AND GAPPS
We're close to the end of this post. The final step: installing your desired ROM and GApps. I will flash CM from the thread whose link is at the download section.
I hope you've put it into your memory (internal/external) as we said
Ok so:
- Turn off your phone
- Go into the TWRP recovery (Vol up+power)
- (Optional but recommended) Make a backup of Flyme, just in case you don't like the new ROM and would like to go back to Flyme. If it takes up too much memory, move it to your pc after making the backup.
- Go to Wipe menu
- Go to advanced wipe
- Select these:
+ System
+ Cache
+ Dalvik Cache
+ Data
- Swipe to do the wipe
- Go to install.
- Select your zip image (in my case the cm13 I downloaded).
- Install also the GApps zip file you downloaded
- Restart to System, and check what you've done.
Some final tips:
- Make the backup, seriously, it takes 10 min and you'll have a Flyme backup if you don't like CM.
- If you want to transfer all your apps and their data from Flyme to your new ROM, use Titanium Backup.
- If you want to install Xposed Framework, it's the same procedure: enter into TWRP, tap install, select the zip and swipe.
- This won't delete your images or videos, but I would recommend to transfer them to a microSD card or your PC.
- Yes, you need to do all this to install a custom ROM. Yes, even unlocking the bootloader. Don't try to skip a step if you aren't sure about what you're doing.
I think that's all, I'll update this post if I lost anything.
I hope this helped you to move into CM world. If you have any doubt don't hesitate to ask.
I know this seems exhausting, but trust me, it worths it. Welcome to the custom ROMs world in your Meizu M2 Note. Let the magic begin.
ADDITIONAL GUIDES
RELOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
If you want to relock the bootloader just follow this simple steps:
Flash the original recovery image from Flashtool of from Flashify (the steps are the same as installing TWRP). You can find this image here
From there, install an update.zip (download them from the official flyme web: here and put it into the storage )
Now you have flyme again with a locked bootloader.
INSTALLING FLYME WITH TWRP
It's very important that you don't install an update.zip from the original Flyme page, because you will cause a bootloop. To get the flyme updates, you can follow one of these two methods:
METHOD 1: 4PDA
-Download the modified zips from 4PDA: here]. Translate it to English. It's on custom firmware>Flyme
-Flash them from TWRP
METHOD 2: DO IT YOURSELF
-Download the update.zip file from the Flyme page
-Open it and remove the preloader- files
-Flash it from TWRP. It will give you an error: IGNORE IT.
Reboot and done, you've got Flyme and TWRP.
UNBRICK A PAPERWEIGHT
BIG THANKS TO @numpea FOR THIS:
This just a firmware that has all the partitions and can be used to unbrick to device using SPFlashtool
Here is the link:
FIRMWARE
- Flash temp_unlock_secro.img with sp flashtool like you do when unlocking the bootloader.
- When done, disconnect the device and add the firmware to sp flashtool. You need to select "format all+download", click on "Download" and connect the device. The flashing process will start. After it finishes, the device will start again.
You wil notice that you lost your imei number you can add it back by:
Using MTK Engineering Mode (does not requires root)
Open engineering mode » Click on Engineer Mode (MTK) » Swipe left to Connectivity » click on CDS Information » Radio Information
Click on phone 1 if you want to change your sim 1 or choose Phone 2 to change sim 2 IMEI, follow this guide:
For Phone 1: “AT+ EGMR=1,7,â€YOUR NEW IMEI NO†(make sure you add a space in between AT+ & EGMR)
For Phone 2: “AT+ EGMR=1,10,â€YOUR NEW IMEI NO†(make sure you add a space in between AT+ & EGMR)
Using Chamelephon (requires root, but much more easier)
Just copy the IMEIS from the phone's box and put them into the app.
hope this is helpful

Pretty much covered all, just state the Armv7 Android level API 21 64bit, 5.1 Micro or Nano for gapps. They might get confused on what to choose.

Thanks nice guide... Very useful for everyone who want play and modified the M2 note.

Thanks for your guideline , it helps a lot !
Great work lol
Another thing is…ShevT's recovery has no problem in cache partition.Only my broken recovery did… So remove the cache fixing partAny problem just send me a private message. I'll check when i have time.

And Meizu M571C should use the same method of meizu m2 (mini), a shell script for frp unlock. But no recovery images yet…Different hardware and partitions…
Another thing is, Kingroot is not suggested. It cannot be detected by Flashfire and some other tools. And cannot be replaced by SuperSU. So Kingo Root+SuperSU might be better.

A brief Intro.
Starting from the 7.1.2 ROMs most of the developers decided to follow the process of checking modem version at the time of flashing the rom. Many peoples ended up in
"Error 7- assert(xiaomi.verify_modem("MSM8976.LA.1.0.c3-30041-STD.PROD-1.77504.1.83742.1") == "1")"
The main reason for this is the outdated firmware or it is happened to those who had unofficially unlocked the bootloader.
Some more info..
1. You must be on MM build bootloader. If you are unofficially unlocked bootloader it will give you ERROR7.
@TheStrix have alreday given a short information about it in his Official LineageOS thread. If you are unaware of it read it here
2.Outdated Firmware.
Your firmware must be from from MIUI Global DEV v7.5.4 or above.
Get MIUI Global DEV v7.5.4 from here
or the latest firmware from here
NB:-
- Iam using the MIUI Global DEV v7.5.4 firmware. All working fine including Volte. I dont know about the second one,you can give it a try.
-If you are unofficially unlocked ,MIUI Global DEV v7.5.4 will re lock your bootloader you will end up in bootloop.
- I will not be reponsible for any damages.
Solution 1 [Permanent Solution] ..
1. So if you are unofficially unlocked, i will suggest to clean flash the latest MIUI Fatboot Rom. Kenzo users get it from here.
2.Flash it using MIFlashTool ,and officially unlock it.
HOW TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER OF REDMI NOTE 3?
PART 1 : REQUESTING FOR UNLOCK PERMISSION
Step 1 – Open up your favorite web browser in your computer (Chrome is recommended) then go to this link
Step 2 – You’ll see the official page of “Unlock Your Mi Device”. Now simply click on the blue “Unlock Now” Button in the middle of the page.
Step 3 – You’ll see a login page in the next page which is in Chinese. If you use Google Chrome to open the page, then you can simply use its built-in Google Translate feature.
Step 4 – Once logged in, you’ll see the Unlock Application Permissions page.Now simply fill in all required fields then click on that green Apply Immediately button.
Step 5 – In the next page, you’ll need to enter a verification code sent to you via SMS. Check your phone for any SMS verification sent by Xiaomi server. The code is usually valid for only 5 minutes so you need to enter it immediately.
Step 6– Once you have submitted the 6 digits code, you’ll then be redirected to another page saying that from the point toward all you need to do is just waiting for Xiaomi Developers to review and approve your application. Once approved, you’ll get another SMS which normally arrives in 15 min(Atleast for me. For some it may take time). The approval process is manual so just be patient on this.
PART 2 : BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING PROCESS
Requirements for Bootloader Unlocking :
-An active Mi account linked to your device, your phone number and it has permission to proceed with bootloader unlock (follow previous steps above)
-Please backup your data for just in case scenario.
-Again, if you are not fully aware of flashing custom ROM, then you better stay away of unlocking your phone’s bootloader.
Download Mi Flash Unlock tool for Windows here, and install it on your computer / PC.
Step 1 – On your device, please login to your Mi account.
Step 2 – Put / reboot your device into bootloader mode. To do that, simply turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume down ( – ) button at the same time.
Step 3 – On your computer, open MiFlash Unlock tool you’ve just installed. Click on the Agree button when asked.
Step 4 – Login to MiFlash Unlock tool with the same Mi Account.
Step 5 – Now connect your phone to computer using its USB cable.
Step 6 – Once your phone is connected, the Unlock button will become active. Next, simply click on the Unlock button to start the process. The unlock process will take about 10 – 15 seconds to complete. That’s all.
After unlocking your phone’s bootloader, you’ll be able to flash TWRP and other custom ROM. Enjoy..
Please take these as your concern upon unlocking bootloader :
One Mi account could only unlock one device within 30 days.
If you see a notice saying that “current user is not logged in connected device” then please reboot your device normally then login with your account in the device (see Step 1).
Unlocking bootloader will wipe all user data especially if your device is encrypted. That’s why you’ll need to create backup before going to proceed.
Neither Xiaomi or I will guaranteed if anything goes wrong during and as the result of unlocking. Proceed with your own risks.
Also, unlocked Xiaomi devices will be marked in the official service end.
PART 3 : Installing TWRP and Custom Rom.
Step 1 –. Get latest TWRP from here. Flash it via fastboot { I will not be explaining that in details}
Step 2 –. Take back up of EFS using Twrp. Wipe Everything including internal storage.
Step 3 –. Install Firmware-Rom-Gapps in order. Error 7 will be solved
Solution 2[Temporary Solution] ..
Only try this method if you are not able to officially unlock your device . Dont use the Firmware by Strix.It will relock your bootloader.
Step1 - Downalod the rom to your pc.
Step2 - Use any notepad. Suggestd one Notepad++. Get it from here
Step3 - Open the Rom.zip{dont extarct}. Navigate to META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script.
Double click on updater-script and open it with notepad++. Edit and remove this line from the file
Code:
assert(xiaomi.verify_modem("MSM8976.LA.1.0.c3-30041-STD.PROD-1.77504.1.83742.1") == "1")
Allow the file to save and close the zip.{Rom will recompress by itself}.
Step4 - Flash in order. Firmware -Rom-Gapps.
Some FAQ's ..
1. Iam not getting volte
Ans:- Restore the EFS. Try rebooting your phone 2 or 3 times. After Clean flash ,I had to reboot 3 times to get volte working. :fingers-crossed:
2.Iam not able to see FingerPrint Option?
Ans:- Your are defenitely on an old Firmware.Update to Latest Firmware It will work.
3.Iam getting Some other Errors. :crying:
Ans:- Post your Screen Shot Below.Will Check.
4.Iam getting some other problems in ROM.
Ans:- Report it with proper logs to the developer.Iam helpless.
5.I bricked my device
Ans:- I will Laugh at you. Always do everything at your own risk. :silly:
Some Advices ..
* At least use search once in your life time. From my observation its clear that no one ever uses search in the Rom Section. Even is there is a solution in every page you keep on asking same questions.
*Dont flood the thread.
*Dont qoute the whole op.
*Respect other members
If this was of help to anyone hit the like :fingers-crossed:

There's a problem with not updating the bootloader (aboot) and staying with a LP bootloader, you will most likely encounter bootloops. Say you edit that code line for the modem check, it will flash but it won't boot/work properly. You must update the bootloader in order to boot newer ROMs. And you need to update the modem and other stuff so you won't face issues. You need to offcially unlock no matter what you do, it's very easy.

you must format your phone (not wipe) using twrp then install fw-rom-gapps...use fw by strix from above method(permanent)
I flashed v8.5.1.0 using MiFlash and it said flash completed successfully. However now it is stuck on the Mi splash screen with "powered by android" logo at the bottom. The dots are moving so I assume it is loading but it's been on that same screen for the past 10 minutes now.
Previously, the bootloader was officially unlocked but some stuff broke as I tried to upgrade to a new ROM and that's why I decided to flash v8.5.1.0 in order to go back to stock and start from scratch.
Edit: It works!

I'm on Marshmallow boot loader (flashed faatboot ROM) and officially unlocked & formated data.
Yesterday I did a update RR ROM (9th july) then I got error 7.
at the time of flashing I was on latest firmware 7.7.6.
So reflashed 7.5.4 firmware and it's worked.
So we should always stick to 7.5.4 firmware ? For avoiding error 7?

In theory it should work I guess? Assuming you used the guide from @khajiit here you should have a MarshMellow bootloader, as the MIUI version linked there is based on MM (kate_global_images_6.11.3_20161103.0000.00_6.0_global_16db0fc5fa), so it shouldn't relock. Can't try myself since I unlocked mine recently.

Hi
If you want to unlock bootloader, you have to:
- downgrade to the first version of Android provided by Huawei
- root it with one of the dozens of one-click-root tools (personally I use Kingroot)
- do what mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/alternative-method-unlocking-bootloader-t3799294
- done :highfive:

- shut down the phone
- boot up the phone by keeping pressed all the buttons (Power + volume up + volume down)
- wait until the process ends
- then delete the "update.app" from your phone and replace it in the same "dload" folder with the "update.app" file from the SECOND link unpacked folder

Hi
first of all, is your bootloader LOCKED? Do you have stock recovery (=no TWRP)? (I know you are trying to get unlock code, but maybe you had brick problems and lost code)
If yes, try firstly the easiest things:
Delete update.app
Delete dload folder
Reboot
Connect phone to PC
Download again with your PC the first zip and extract it (in your PC), and then copy the dload folder in your phone
Try again
If it still doesn't work, let me know
My P8 lite has locked bootloader (technically it's my mother's phone, I want to flash it with custom rom coz it's really slow and unusable on it's stock rom). Do the bootloader was never unlocked, I do not have a code to unlock it.
What's steps should I undertake to flash it successfully?
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root
3. Flash twrp
4. Flash rom
Is that correct? How do I unlock bootloader while Huawei stopped providing unlock codes?
I really appreciate your help in this post, thanks faby.

You have to downgrade it first to Android 5
Root it with Kingroot
In your PC, install this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 if you don't have access to ADB commands
Do then what mentioned here (after connecting your phone to your PC and enabling "USB debug" inside developer options in your P8 lite) https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...ve-method-unlocking-bootloader-t3799294/page1
Unlock bootloader with the code you got from the above step (just follow what written in the link)
Flash TWRP
(If you want, flash custom ROM or updated stock ROM)
(If you did it, boot the ROM and then reboot to TWRP)

Hi
"Rollback" (or downgrade) is the contrary of update. So, when I said "rollback to Android 5" I meant "downgrade from Android 6 to Android 5"
You can't downgrade because you HAVE Android 5, so you have just to BACKUP EVERYTHING (because unlocking bootloader you erase all data) and follow the step-by-step guide I have written above, skipping the "rollback" step :highfive:
Less things to do :good:

Hi
Enable usb debugging inside developer options, then try again until it works (cause it works).
If it still doesn't work, download Kingroot for pc and connect phone to it.
Else, try with other one-click-root tools (as Kingoroot, there is not much imagination for names :laugh: )
Done the root, the procedure is much easier.

Please read whats the state of my realme x2 pro so that you can understand what I have done.
I purchased the realme x2 pro 12gb/256 in the uk , it is shipped with the android 9, there was some OTA update and I had done that and the phone was still in Android 9 with some bugs fixed. Again I recheked the software update for Realme ui update but nothing was found.
So I headed to realme uk website and downloaded the Android 10 realme ui ozip , copied to the phone and updated. Now the phone was in android 10 with realme ui.
The software update is good but I don’t like the finger print animation and also I noticed a sight battery drain,but I am not sure if it was same like in android 9 , I mean the batter life. So decided to go back android 9 . so after so many tries and all finally downgraded to android 9 with the bootloader locked and widevine to L1 and google pay working. Now all stock and all finger print this and that working !!!
Downgrade procudure :-
Backup All the things that are required, All will be wiped.
1.First thing is to unlock the bootloader in Android 10 because of I updated to android 10.
Follow this link below , download the deep testing apk and unlock the bootloader.
https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1253651898825703424
2.Make sure you all had the proper working adb drivers in pc and android bootloader drivers,
After completing the 1st step , Download the twrp from the link below:
I downloaded the one in this name TWRP 3.3.1-13 Unofficial by mauronofrio
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...covery-unofficial-twrp-realme-x2-pro-t3997879.
How to flash twrp in realme x2 pro follow this guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/guide-unlocking-bootloader-to-getting-t4010189
follow the procedure above and until flashing recovery and don’t flash vbmeta and all
3. Download the Android 9 firmware with stock recovery , this was the lastest one I dowloaded from xda
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/rmx1931ex11a-10-available-t4059607)
4.Downloading stock recovery :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/rmx1931ex-stock-files/files/RMX1931EX_11_A06_GLOBAL.zip/download
download this zip file and use only the recovery.img after unzip , this is the only file we need from this folder
Second part:
I Assume the bootloader is unlocked , the device wiped and rebooted to os , copy the ozip in the and stock recovery in internal memory, we might need to use this for later.
now flash the twrp using the guide above and reboot to twrp recovery.
In twrp install the android 9 ozip that we downloaded in the phone memory , after it flashed don’t reboot.just go back and flash the (recovery.img) from twrp itself and choose the path recovery and flash , after that the phone will reboot and it will go to stock recovery. Then give a wipe in the stock recovery and reboot. Now you are back to stock android 9.
Now we are in android 9 with the unlocked bootloader. That’s all.
For those who needs to lock the bootloader read the information below
Check the stock recovery version number ( if it shows rooted near the version number) if it says rooted don’t relock the bootloader. From the phone just run stock ozip again and let it boot in to os, after that again check the stock recovery if rooted string is gone. If it is gone now you are good to lock the bootloader.
Because with unlocked bootloader the google pay is not working so for me locking the bootloder is important for me , also I checked in the device info that widevine is change back to L1.

Is there something wrong with Android 10?
Or why downgrade to 9?

- More battery long lasting on A9, perhaps more services are running in A10 rising power consumption or not well updated.
- In early versions of A10 call recording was capped due privacy rights. With the last update C.26 I can record calls but not tag the records accesing to the contacts list.
- Also in the last C.26 update of A10, you can take RAW photos in 'expert mode'.

Thank you for the info.
Just upgraded, first there was an odd connectivity issue, every GPS fix loss, deactivated mobile and WiIfi for 5 seconds
After turning Smart power savings mode off and on, the issue disappeared.
About raw mode: Odd raw mode that does not save in 64 MPix

Thanks bro...i downgraded to color os and now it ia running smoothly..
This method works with RMX1931 (CN version)? Because i see that the recovery used in the op is for RMX1931EX
Thanks for ur help But is there a way to get a stock recovery for Chinese version ?
Are you sure that we don't have to flash vbmeta.img.because somewhere i have read that if i don't flash vbmeta my phone will be dead
will still working on CN Rom based devices?
Even after installing the ozip from phone my recovery says rooted! Anyway to change that or remove the root?
