Hi everyone
This is how to unlock and install TWRP (root too) the Huawei Honor 2
The root in this process is a partial root....since Xposed and some other root features wont work because the stock Jb roms are odexed.
Warning...this process was not tested on B8xx aka emui 2.0 firmwares
It will succesfully work on :
B1xx
B5xx
B7xx
Also....you cannot flash official firmwares with unlocked bootloader...so you need to relock it in oreder to reflash a rom with dload mod
Check "HOW TO LOCK/RELOCK BOOTLOADER" bellow
So first :
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE
COMPLETLY DESTROYED YOUR SD CARD
OR SIM CARDS NOT WORKING
....Do this at your own risk
Links Bellow.
1/Unlock Bootloader
First you need the flash tool : Here (not my tool...only sharing)
You will also need the usb drivers. You can install Hisuit and it will automatilcally install the drivers you need.
When everything is ready...enable Usb debugging on your phone
Connect the device to your pc via usb and run the tool.
---Select option 1 (so insert 1 and press enter) to install the new fastboot partition, which is able to unlock your device if you install an unsigned kernel / recovery.
---Select option 2 if you haven’t enabled usb debugging, or if you have previously flashed an unsigned partition and now your device isn’t booting.
---Select option 3 to flash a custom kernel you have previously renamed to boot.img and put on your desktop. Do NOT use dd dumps : which means do NOT use boot.img you can find in flashable rom zips.
---Select option 4 to flash a custom recovery you have previously renamed to recovery.img and put on your desktop. Do NOT use dd dumps neither here.
---Select option 5 to check if bootloader is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Congratulation...your phone is unlocked !
2/INSTALL TWRP AND ROOT
TWRP Recovery : Gdrive
Alternative TWRP Recovery : Gdrive ( Use Ctrl + S) to download and keep them in the same folder
Now after unlocking the bootloader close the unlocktool and reboot the phone in fastboot mode
After that :
1/ IF you used the first link recovery Rename the file to recovery.img ...put it on the same folder and use the unlocking tool to flash it
2/ IF you used the 2nd link (Alternative recovery) you can just run flash.bat and it will do the work
after installing recovery :
go to wipe menu...then advanced and wipe only dalvik cache
now reboot
if your phone is rooted choose do NOT root and reboot
if yours is not rooted :
hit reboot button and the phone will install the root....now all you need to do is to update supersu from the playstore
DONE

HOW TO “RELOCK” BOOTLOADER
After your bootloader status is “unlocked”, if you want to flash a stock rom with dload method , you need to flash chinese recovery (not another one), then flash any of batty86 roms (or any other rom with both boot.img and reserved.img), let the device boot at least once, and the bootloader will be “relocked”; then you can install the original recovery and use the dload method again.

Flashing ROM with QFIL:
Getting ready:
Download and install on your PC:
vcredist_x86.zip
QPST_2.7.422.ZIP
Qualcomm_USBDriver_2.1.0.5.zip or Qualcomm_USB_Drivers.zip
Turn off your Vibe P1.
Hold Volume Up key and plug in USB cable conected to PC.
Open Device Manager on PC (press win+r and type "mmc devmgmt.msc" without quotes) then seek Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in COM & LPT ports.
If you can see Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008, you are ready to flash!
Flashing ROM:
Downoad QFIL ROM ( for exampe one of this: https://yadi.sk/d/hY3kNWJGrnpCU?ncrnd=5389 ) and unpack it.
Find QFIL in your Stary menu and launch it.
Select Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM*) port by using "Select Port..." button
Click "Browse..." near "Programmer patch" field and select prog_emmc_firehose_89**.mbn file from the ROM's folder.
Click "Load XML…" and select "rawprogram0*.xml" file and then select "patch0.xml" file.
Press "Download" button and wait untill it ends (reboot or "ready" message).
If "ready" message appears and device does not go to reboot, then hold Volume UP + Power buttons for ~12 sec.
Flash unlocked bootloader & recovery:
Read "Flashing ROM" manual
Download P1a42_S272_160506_ROW_QPST (+uBL +Recovery + Root +region ) and unpack it.
If you have different ROM installed, then flash S272 (by selecting rawprogram0.xml) otherwise go to the next step.
Flash unlocked bootloader (by selecting rawprogram_unlock.xml) and reboot into ROM.
Open developers options and select "OEM unlock".
Also you can check Bootloader status by rebooting to bootloader and typing "fastboot oem device-info" (without quotes), if it still locked, then type "fastboot oem unlock-go" (without quotes).
After (and only then) bootloader will be unlocked you can flash custom recovery by one of following ways: by QFIL, selecting rawprogram_twrp.xml or bootloader (fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img).
When recovery is flashed, you can get into it by holding Volume UP + Volume DOWN keys while booting or using "adb reboot recovery" console command (without quotes).
Advanced flash unlocked bootloader & recovery:
BootLoader unlock:
Download file: emmc_appsboot.zip
Unzip.
Add listed files from QFIL-ROM to the same folder:
prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn
gpt_main0.bin
gpt_backup0.bin
rawprogram0.xml
patch0.xml
Run rawprogram0-fix.bat
Flash using QFIL, by selecting rawprogram0_aboot.xml.
Sometimes you need to do extra staff:
Open developers options and turn on:
ОЕМ unlock
USB debugging
Download: unlock-bl.zip
Unzip.
Plug USB cable and run unlock-bl.bat
wait until "Ready!" or the window disapire
Ready!
Custom recovery (TWRP):
Method one, fastboot:
Download: TWRP-FB.ZIP
Unzip.
Run rec-inst.bat
Method two adb(Root needed):
Download: TWRP.ZIP
Unzip.
Run rec-inst.bat
Root (SuperSU):
If you suscesfully unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery then you can:
download latest SuperSU
Put it to you sdcard (do not unpack it!)
Reboot to recovery and install ZIP.
Region:
To find out which region is set dial ####5993# or ####59930# using stock dialer
To change region:
Put easyimage.zip to root of SDCard
Dial ####682# using stock dialer
To get back to stock (for updating, etc.):
Flash stock ROM with QFIL.
You can use s272 listed above, but you also need to download, unzip and change rawprogram0.xml file before flashing to get stock recovery!
Is this the chinese version or the ROW? As far I know VIBEUI is for China.
If it's ROW I'll try it.

You can't install root on 6.0 without TWRP, but if you don't need it, woy also don't need to unlock BL, so you cat just flash ctock ROM.
Do I need to wipe my data or not? (I'll still get a backup, but ya know, just to get a titanium backup done.

You don't need to do any backup. But if you come to 6.0 from 5.1, you better do!
I flashed ROM everything went good, next thing I flash twrp, works, installed supersu and now I'm left with a phone without OS. I cannot get into download mode using the volume up + usb method and also I can get into the recovery. What can I do?
EDIT: After about 26 hours of just non-stop searching I finally got it flashed again.It was a painful experience but if somebody wipes the /system partition, don't hesistate to pm to help you come back on track.
Thanks for the great tutorial !

You can root only 5.1. Unlocked bootloader is the only way for 6.0 ROW ROMs.
Is there a way to lock it back or it's permanent?

You are not unlocking bootloader, you just flashing already unlocked one. So you can just flash it back!
I must say that after Marshmallow update, Vibe P1 is the best smartphone I had ever
Smooth working, great battery life, no problems at all.
After flashing TWRP and applying super su I am struck at Lenovo logo tried clearing cache and dalvik cache too still same

Yes! And I'm using it on rooted ROM and with unlocked BL. But there is one little caveat: you can't unlock device with your finger for first time after reboot (it is MM feature). But after first time it working fine!

You need to go back to full stock, it's the only way to get OTA.
Please look at "To get back to stock (for updating, etc.):" at first post (just updated it)!
First of all, sorry for my awesome English.i am praticing my writing
if u understand Chinese,congratulations!these is the Chinese version:
Notice:
A. Warning! Flash phone might get it bricked. I am not responsible for it.
B. Phone is already Oreo firmware.
C. i cant guarantee these is no needless steps , but at least , i execute the steps from a to m, and i succeed to root my mate9 oreo {MHA-AL00 8.0.0.334(C00)}
-----------------------2017.12.07 update---------------------------
sorry for so many needless steps of the old method.
root mate9 emui8 now only need 2 steps (so please neglect the old method).
new method:
1. reboot to fastboot mode . and fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk this
2. reboot to recovery mode. flash supersu 2.82 sr5 mod. (download link)
done!
ps: i have compared the "supersu 2.82 sr5 mod" to official supersu 2.82 sr5
the only different is:
the 683th line of file: "/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary"
official package is : TRY="boot_a BOOT_A $TRY"
and the mod package is: TRY="ramdisk_a RAMDISK_A $TRY"
so the the mod package can be trusted i think.
that's all !
as the Chinese popular saying goes： 无图无真相！( no pictures! no truths ! )
but i dont know how to upload my picture, imgur?tumblr? anybody teach me?
HOPE THE ABOVE IS CLEAR.
GOOD LUCK
----------------------------------------------------------------
old method ( too many needless steps, please read the new method!):
Prepare:
1. FunkyHuawei Mate 10 Root/Rebranding tool (find lastest release here)
2. TWRP 3.1.1-0 for Mate 9/EMUI 8 (click me)
3. HWOTA8 Package ( get it from this post)
4、update_data_public.zip & update_all_hw.zip for the corresponding version you need (mine is MHA-AL00 8.0.0.334(C00), you can find wat u need at here)
5、supersu 2.82 SR5 (donwload link ,we only need the superuser.apk in /common.)
steps:
a. Unlock bootloader (backup all the data you need before this step)
b. Decompress the HWOTA8 Package on ur PC.
c. Copy the TWRP 3.1.1-0 to this folder (created by Decompression ),and rename this recovery img file (TWRP 3.1.1-0) to "TWRP8_3.0.3.img"

Phone reboot ---> appare the warming interface ( it said:your device has been unlocked and cant trusted blablalba..... ) ---> appare the huawei welcoming interface -----> suddenly, phone reboot. notice!: please keep USB cable disconnecting from ur Phone. and after phone reboot suddenly , keep holding the Power + Vol up as fast as u can to reboot to recovery mode. (ps: why do we hold the keys as fast as u can? because it will prevent ur rebooting phone enter the huawei welcoming interface again. if the huawei welcoming interface appearing we cant execute the step l following)
l. flash the update_data_public.zip & update_all_hw.zip in TWRP. and reboot to system .
m. if supersu is not installed, please install supersu 2.82 SR5 manually.

/recovery has a new name "recovery_ramdisk" in mate9 oreo
if you want to flash stock recovery , you should execute " fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk xxxxxxxxxxxxx.img" in fastboot mode.
"RECOVERY_RAMDIS" may be refer to "recovery_ramdisk", so try to execute " fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img" in fastboot mode.
i'm not sure.

Hey guys, Today I am creating a Guide on How to Convert Mi A2 to Mi 6X without triggering ARB.
This guide is based on Guide by @yunusasik(Telegram : @dejavutr ) so All credit goes to Him.
First of All Download the Convert.zip from here
All files needed to be replaced have already been replaced in convert.zip.
Then, Follow the Following Steps to Flash Mi 6X Firmware on your A2
First Make Sure you already unlocked bootloader flashing and flashing critical ("fastboot flashing unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock_critical")
1) Install Qualcomm Driver (next next next) (Also Windows update can do this trick when you plug )
2) Install QPST (use setup from the QPST Alternative folder. )
(find QFİLL on start menu or qpst installed directory), open QFİLL from start menu or opst installed folder.
3) Select Flat Build Mode
Select Programmer File prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf ( already changed no arb risk )
Select XML files rawprogram0 and patch0.xml
4) Put the phone on the edl mode
navigate to ADB Folder and Open tikla.bat, it will open command windows in that directory.
Use "fastboot oem edl" command to Enter "Emergency Download Mode ( EDL )"
Press Download
When install finish. Power up the phone.
MIUI 9 Ready to BOOT (First boot may take time you can hard reset via pressing vol up - down and power together )
5) You dont need to setup miui 9 just go fastboot again (vol down + power ( when phone closed ) )
From this section you can either install MIUI 10 (OREO) or Custom ROM ( Which one you want )
Guide will be Resume about flashing MIUI 10 ( OREO )
Flash TWRP
" fastboot flash recovery twrpwayne.img "
" fastboot boot twrpwayne.img "
If twrp start chinese you can set language on that screen
6) Wipe / Advanced Wipe
7) System + Dalvik + Cache + Data + Internal
8) Flash MIUI 10(no arb).zip via adb sideload (put file into adb folder and use adb sideload MIUI 10 (no arb).zip) or put file on the
storage via mtp, if its works
" No need for gapps "
If you want root Flash Magisk.
Welcome to MIUI 10 without arb
You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit only this one works good others may stuck sometimes and risky because if you unplug when installing you have to use test point method for saving phone.
You can enable camera2api with "Camera2api enabler" on play store (ONLY MIUI 10 OREO)
If qfill installation somehow corrupt use "QPST Alternative" folder or Miflash from above
You can Download Newer MIUI Releases from here
Just make sure to delete the "firmware-update folder" using winrar etc.
-------
UPDATİNG TO MIUI 10 PIE
Download MIUI 10 PIE from here (if you are in mobile press "try download anyway" )
Open zip file and delete "Firmware Upgrade" folder from the zip (Most İmportant)
Boot into TWRP
Go Wipe / Advanced Wipe
Wipe "System + Dalvik + Cache + Data"
(Make sure you are using ext4 file system on Cache and Data partition)
Flash MIUI 10 Pie zip
Flash Hex Kernel download from here (We need this because we are not using fw update folder for updating kernel etc (because its trigger arb 4))
Flash Magisk if you want root
Reboot to system
Welcome to MIUI 10 Pie
You can check new mıuı eu updates from here.
For enabling camera2api on MIUI 10 Pie you have to edit build prop download this application from play store
Give root permissions
Search for HAL3 then change boot of them 0 to 1
Restart the phone.
For stable gcam use this
------
Converted Mi6X Indian Variant Camera FİX
1. Flash any custom ROM or MIUI 10 ROM firmware-update folder deleted.
2. Flash the zip from here via TWRP.
3. Reboot
------
Convert Back to A2
Download latest a2 stock rom.
Put phone to edl mode again (fastboot oem edl)

It does take a long time than Mi Flash. I check from time to time where it stopped and it does move a bit, like a snail's pace kind of slow.

I remember reading a thread related to sensor issue. There is already a post regarding this sensor issue in this forum. probably u need to re-flash the persist .img from fastboot but dont do it just blindly. rather search the forum and refer to that thread before proceeding.

TWRP and root guide for 5S and 5G on Android 10 only - (these steps will NOT unlock your bootloader) - these steps use a bypass method to install a recovery without unlocking bootloader. the command below is to allow flashing of partitions. bootloader status is still locked during and after process is complete.
Note. if you already have ADB and fastboot drivers installed, this folder will work as is. if not I put an installer in the folder too to install a mini adb fastboot setup. which needs windows driver signing turned off (windows 8-10) this can be done by going to advanced startup and choosing to boot without driver signing.
1. Download zip file found at the end of this post
2. Extract to root of C: drive
3. open CMD prompt with admin privileges
4. CD to the ADB folder you extracted. (CD = Change Directory)
5. Connect your device in Fastboot mode (power off. hold volume down +Power until it vibrates. then release power but continue to hold volume down)
6. Once in fastboot mode, with cable connected to the computer run these commands
7. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J (this allows you to flash the device partitions)
8. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-xxx.img (xxx being the version number of the TWRP image you choose to install)
9. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_skip.img
10. reboot to recovery (from the fastboot menu) it should load TWRP
11. if TWRP does not ask you to keep recovery from being over written, go to advanced and choose disable replace TWRP. to keep TWRP as your recovery, and stop the system from re writing the stock recovery.
12. Reboot to system for the first time and complete the initial setup. this is to create the user space partitions data/media ( preferably do not make a pin or pattern at this stage)
13. once in the rom, connect to PC and copy over the Magisk zip to the internal memory. then reboot holding Volume up
14. once back into TWRP (if you created a pin during setup TWRP will ask you for your pin to access data) go into install and flash the Magisk.zip you moved in step 13 then reboot. once back into the rom, you will see a Magisk app, tap it and allow to update, the APK will install latest version of the manager.
More NOTES.
this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.
its also recommended to have an update.zip of your current rom (which you can download from the post above), incase you need to reinstall the rom after flashing the new recovery or VBmeta.
OEM unlocking in the developer options is NOT needed. since you are not unlocking your bootloader. this step can be ignored.
I'll update this tutorial with newer steps if needed.
Thanks to those that created all these great tools.

I'm working on a process that will update to Android 11, through TWRP and root, without losing data. Much like a stock update.
I will update the thread once my tests are complete.
Hello. I can not flash (i cant even copy) the zip via TWRP. I see the storage device on my windows laptop. I have wipe data cache and dalvik, but it does not copy it and i can not restore my device. Help will be appreciated

Try putting update zip on a USB key and connect via OTG and flash this way. Moving files with TWRP for some reason corrupts or does not complete transfer.
Make sure to factory reset. If you're coming from a used update, backup your data partition and wipe everything. Then check to see if the partition is in fact empty. ( I noticed sometime my data partition did not erase)

Working fine after full data partition wipe.
I have an additioal question regarding further updates, and i would not want to open a new topic. so, after flashing the zip, i "lost" TWRP but i already have root access. I wonder if is possible to flash upcoming updates with the default recovery built in on the phone, if not, i would assume i need to install TWRP again.in any case, will side loading update make any problem with the current system? i hope my question and context is clear
As these are official ROMs, they will replace the recovery and remove root from the phone.
If you do not have root, flashing these zips from the system menu local update should work. But if you have root or TWRP it's better to flash through TWRP.
You could just flash TWRP again after flash, but I personally modify the zip and add the recovery to it to save me going into fastboot after each update.

I've spoken with another EU rom user, that has the same issue before. it seems it was an error in the stock rom.
reinstalling 7.07 from the links above should fix your problem.
both 7.07 (the EU rom) and 8.07 (the US rom) are exactly the same. the only difference is the languages from what I can tell.
I have a silly question. Unfortunately i unlocked bootloader and i lost the fingerprint capability. I have tried many times to do the calibration without success. I wonder if a factory flash (EDM or any nubia tool) can restore the capability and then use this guide to do the rooting? Thanks

No it wont.
There is a specific step by step that is required to get it functioning again. And it only survives until your next full wipe, which i assume you will do more often flashing non official roms.
I can grab the steps and edit this post for you.
Edit -
Prep.
have a black / very dark brown leather. (belt, wallet, etc)
a soft gel plaster / Bandaid
(something skin textured and in a pink / light beige colour) texture and colour are important.
First step is clear data in the infingerprint app in app info and remove permissionfor data memory - (you need to show system apps to find it)
- digit in call phone code:
*#9959#
(android 11 use Activity launcher (playstore) to enter fingerprint menu)
- uncheck performance checkbox , check only calibration checkbox
Steps -
1. Press start then wait.
2.Press next and with plaster / bandaid press on circle
3.Press next and use wallet / belt ( the display becomes black for black calibration)
4.Press next and use gel plaster / bandaid again but pinch it in so only the part with your finger touches the circle.
If you are lucky see success alert in green color
In system app in setting In-Display-Fingerprint allow access to data memory then reboot device.
Enjoy your Finger Print once more!
P.S. = do this procedure in a very dark room to improve the chances of it succeeding.
Thanks to qtr1st (Salem) and mikekrunk (Mike) for the steps and information.

if you have not removed your pin before flashing any of the roms. it asks you for YOUR own pin that you made when you setup the phone. so use your own pin.
the process of rooting your device, clears a security partition. (the VBmeta partiton)
this deletes the encryption you had on your phone. so the devices partitions are unaccessable and need to be wiped before you can boot to system.
you need to clear data. all data. then check in TWRP file browser if your data partition is clear. .. if you see folders with random letters its not been formatted correctly.
so, in the wipe menu on TWRP you should go into advanced and change the partition type to ext4 then back to f2fs to clear the partition of data.
once your phone is clear you should be able to wipe cache and davik then reboot to system for it to start like a factory reset.
