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.

Hi everyone,
This guide is intended for only snapdragon version of Lenovo devices which supports QFIL (Qualcomm Flashing Tool). For MediaTek Devices, you need different tools.
However, please understand that the device which I had to test in length was LENOVO K5 PLUS and thus, recovery, stock images and development is for K5 plus. As long as you have stock rom, custom recovery or custom rom of your specific device which you own, you can follow this guide for any snapdragon device but booting your device into DIAG mode might need different commands.

IMPORTANT :
I suggest you start this guide by directly going to POST 5 BACKUP FULL DEVICE before you intend to do any experiments with your device. Make a FULL BACKUP WHICH IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED OR YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE OTAs LATER) Requires no root
DRIVERS ARE MUST HERE
You can simply download all the drivers from post three and install them all. In case you have troubles, you can refer HERE for more details.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. DRIVERS
2. USB DEBUGGING
3. ADB
4. TOOLS & STUFF (all in attachments)
5. Little Common Sense
6. Zero Skills
USB DEBUGGING ON
1.Activate the Developer options (Settings> About phone> Device Information> to tap 7 times in Build number)
2. Enable USB debugging (Settings> Developer> USB Debugging)
3. Enable OEM unlock (Settings> Developer> Unlock OEM)
4. Done
SETUP A WORKING ADB
Download platform tools from here in attachment
Extract them to any location.
Navigate to the location where you have extracted platform.zip
Hold crtl+shift on keyboard and then use your mouse to right click on an empty area of the folder.
Select open command prompt here
An cmd window will open
You are ready to go
Alternatively,
if that does not work for you. Simply download the platform.zip and extract it to C:/platform-tools.
Rename platform tools folder to adb
Go to cmd from start menu
Type in these commands until you see C:\> in cmd.
You will need to type twice most probably.
Code:
cd..
cd..
then type the following once you are at C:\>
Code:
cd adb
You will be in ADB folder, which will be now like C:\adb>
Now you have a working adb
RECOVER YOUR BRICKED DEVICE
There are actually 3 methods in theory to recover your phone. However,I also found that sometimes you can not flash your device using download mode and in this case, fastboot mode is the only route which means you will need to use TWRP or find a method to go into EDL from fastboot. So after you brick your device, your device can present in the following states.
No recovery or download mode but fastboot mode
Download mode
Recovery mode
Phone goes into download mode on its own
Possible Solutions
TWRP Method if you have a custom recovery or only fastboot(tested and works)
QFIL (tested and works) if you can boot into download mode
Lenovo Updater (untested)
ONLY FASTBOOT ACCESSIBLE NO DOWNLOAD/ RECOVERY.
Phone goes directly into download mode but QFIL unable to flash at all. Need to find a way to boot into EDL. Currently under working. Check this here Gold for those who need to boot to edl from fastboot
Fail with status when trying to flash using QFIL
Code:
Download Fail:System.Exception: Failed to Switch to Emergency Download mode
at QC.QMSLPhone.Phone.QPHONEMS_SwitchToEDL()
at QC.SwDownloadDLL.SwDownload.SwitchToEDL()
Download Fail:Switch To EDL FailSystem.Exception: FireHose Fail
at QC.SwDownloadDLL.SwDownload.SwitchToEDL()
at QFIL.Tech.DownloadTech.SwitchToEDL()
Finish Download
Two ways possible. Flashed TWRP and it worked by restoring previous backup. Works like a charm
Fastboot to edl needs some work. If that could be achieved. It will be brick proof.
TWRP METHOD
Pre Requisites
Fully working TWRP with root (preferable)
backup of your device (highly recommended) or download stock flashable roms HERE
STEPS
Boot into fastboot mode (bootloader) by switching off your phone and then press volume - and power
Flash TWRP recovery using fastboot commands HERE
Flash your previously made backup using RESTORE function in TWRP
To flash recovery partition, you will need to select flash IMG instead of preset ZIP when you navigate to INSTALL. You will find it on lower left side
DOWNLOAD STOCK RECOVERY FOR YOUR DEVICE HERE
You will need to unroot your device as well from supersu settings if you want to return to FULL STOCK
In case you only have fast boot mode and no recovery AND no download mode
Pre Requisites
You must have a fully working TWRP and possibly rooted
flashable zips of your stock roms or any previously made backup
STEPS
Simply place your update.zip in your sd card if you are using stock images
Or you can copy your previously made TWRP backup in sd card
Restore using TWRP if you have a backup
or flash via TWRP if you are flashing stock Images
Done
I highly suggest you wipe your device in TWRP including system
QFIL METHOD
Download stock image for your device. Make sure you choose the correct file for your device or you can hardbrick your device
Install QPST and QFIL software from attachments.
You may need to install Microsoft Tools which are provided in attachment for QPST to work
I assume that you have already proper drivers installed
Extract your device stock images in any given location of your choice but prefer it like D:/stock images etc
Open QFIL from start menu
Refer to image attachments 1,4,5,6,7 for the next steps
Browser Programmer Path and navigate to where you have extracted stock images.
Select the file with the given extention .(firehose)
Next load XML file and select the image.
It will ask for another file which you will be able to locate in the same folder\
Connect your device and see if the port is detected as QD LOADER
Select DOWNLOAD under LOAD XML
Sit back and enjoy. It should take 5-10 minutes
NOTES FOR QFIL
Bootloader Method does not seem to work. Even after changing drivers and replacing them.
Works with keys too. Hold Volume + and power after switching off device and select download!
Requires EDL method
Lenovo Serial driver required
Adb reboot edl
Then install drivers for Qualcomm port
Flash as instructions
Erase Misc after flash
Wait for device to turn on
STATUS : COMPLETE
Last updated 26.08.16
EFS
Pre Requisites
Installed drivers. ( See Next posts for detailed guide.)
Enable USB debugging. See first post
Working ADB (Download from attachment)
You will need to move to the location where you have extracted adb.zip
Hold crtl+shift + mouse right click and select open command prompt here and then you can give commands.
Root
[*] Recovery
TWRP BACKUP
I find this method most superior to all others.
Download recovery from this forum. All credits to the developer to make it possible
DOWNLOAD IT FROM HERE. TWRP WITH EFS BACKUP AND MORE
After downloading the recovery, using a working adb. Enter commands
Does not require root
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot LenovoA6020_TWRP-3.0.2-r3_7M.img
You will boot into recovery with Russian translation. Change translation to your local language as shown in attachments TWRP 1 and TWRP 2.
Make EFS and all other backup and keep it safe.
I suggest you copy this to your PC before you plan to do something else with your device.
Done
Enable DIAG MODE on your device using adb.
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Once your phone is in DIAG mode, you can utilise these methods for QCN.
QCN is a file that holds all your data regarding your signals, bluetooth, wifi, imei etc
If you lose it without a back, it may be very hard to fix your phone.
For first two methods, you need to be in DIAG mode. For the last two, you can make a backup on your mobile. All four methods require root.
QCN EXTRACTION BY QFIL
Simply open QFIL on your PC.
You will see
QPST>Tools> QCN backup and Restore.
Select Backup in your desired location
Done
QCN backup by QPST other tools.
1.First time you are trying to make a backup of your QCN using this method, you will need to add DIAG port which you enabled via adb commands in QPST.
For that , go to QPST>BIN>QPSTConfig. You might need to go to show all ports before you are able to add it.
2.Next go to, QPST > Bin> QPSTServer.exe
3.A globe would appear in taskbar. Click on it and select software download from the tab
4.Select port of your diagnostic mode in backup tab of software download.
5. Once in software download, backup your current QCN
4. Done
Backup by blocks
This is a better method to make a backup. You can either use adb commands or simply download PARTITION BACKUP APP from play store. This will automatically backup your partitions.
PARTITION BACKUP TOOL PLAYSTORE LINK
XDA FORUM LINK FOR ANY QUERIES
These are ways to check your device for partitions manually. You can make backup of these yourself as well.
Detailed guide is given here
Code:
adb shell
cat /proc/partitions
[B]OR[/B]
adb shell
ls -al /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name
make sure you replace dw_mmc with your device partiton. (I have not checked it yet)
[B]OR[/B]
adb shell
cat /proc/partitions
adb remount
adb shell "su" "" "mount -o remount,rw /system"
adb push parted /system/bin/parted
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/parted
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
Backup by tar.gz and Img
For this method you will need to download EFS BACKUP from playstore and then you can make a backup. I recommend make backup in all three formats.
EFS BACKUP PLAYSTORE
XDA FORUM LINK FOR THE APP
That's all you need for a good EFS Backup. Good Luck!
DRIVERS GUIDE
On Windows, it will automatically detect all drivers.
Make sure your device is attached to PC, before you install these drivers.
You may need to download drivers for ADB and QDLOADER which are all provided in Lenovo Usb driver.
So Installing these driver will be enough for you and you may need to manually select drivers for rest from lenovo folder
For ADB drivers use LENOVOUSB DRIVER 1.1.16 if your device is not detected by Windows.
For QHUB drivers use these in attachment named QDLOADER HS USB DRIVER.
Simply Install them and you are good to go.
INCASE YOUR DEVICE IS NOT DETECTED
All drivers are contained in these folder C:\Program Files (x86)\LenovoUsbDriver on your PC.
Go to My computer> Properties? Device Manager and see if you have any unknown devices like shown in attachment.
If you have, then I suggest you install manually.
Select unknown device and go in its properties.
Next go to drivers tab and select update drivers
Select Browse my computer for drivers
Let me pick from the list of devices
Select have disk
Move to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\LenovoUsbDriver
You will see that there are many folders.
ADB contains all ADB and Bootloader drivers
Use ADB folder if you are installing drivers for adb / fastboot/ bootloader.
Make sure you have usb debugging and device connected when you are installing these drivers. You have to be in normal mode for adb drivers
.
You can check if you have working adb by typing
Code:
adb devices
To download fastboot / bootloader drivers, simply first boot your device into fastboot.
Turn off device
hold power and volume down
Now try to install fastboot drivers
Serial Contains EDL drivers (Download mode drivers)
Select unknown device and go in its properties.
Next go to drivers tab and select update drivers
Select Browse my computer for drivers
Let me pick from the list of devices
Select have disk
Move to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\LenovoUsbDriver
You will see that there are many folders.
Use Serial if you are in download mode / EDL mode.
Working adb is required for this
You can go into EDL mode directly from adb commands by
Code:
adb reboot edl
OR
You can power off device
hold power and volume up
Select download mode and you are in EDL/ Download mode.
Now you can install drivers from above method
Make sure you select QDLOADER 9008 while installing EDL drivers.
How to enable QHUB drivers if no unknown/ undetected device is seen
Sometimes, your device is not detected in QFIL and you have all drivers installed and there is no unknown device in my computers> device manager.
For this, you will need to attach your device first.
Go to Device Manager by going into my computer properties
Look for ADB Interface drivers in device manager.
Update drivers for ADB interface and replace it with QDLoader HS USB driver.
If it asks for any permission, allow it.
In case your windows do not allow you to install these drivers , you need to turn off Digital Signature Verification in windows
run cmd as run as administrator
Type in these commands
Code:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
Restart
Then try again to reinstall drivers
To re-enable device verification on Windows
Code:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Good luck
ROOT AND TWRP
HOW TO ACTIVATE USB DEBUGGING
1. Activate the Developer options (Settings> About phone> Device Information> to tap 7 times in Build number)
2. Enable USB debugging (Settings> Developer> USB Debugging)
3. Enable OEM unlock (Settings> Developer> Unlock OEM)
4. Connect the phone with the USB cable to the computer
5. Install the drivers that come on the CD cell partition.
TWRP:
Download TWRP from HERE or TWRP WITH EFS BACKUP AND MORE
Copy it to the folder where abd is installed.
On working adb, type in these commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery LenovoA6020_TWRP-3.0.2-r3_7M.img
OR
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-k5-3.0.2-r2_shreps.img
This will permenantly flash twrp instead of Stock recovery.
If you just want to boot it once. check backup guide by using this command instead
Code:
fastboot boot <file name>
ROOT
Download the ZIP file SuperSU v2.76 and save it in the micro SD card.
Restart the phone in recovery mode:
Turn off the phone, then turn it on while pressing the volume up button. a screen appears with various options and choose "recovery".
You can even boot by adb commands using
Code:
adb reboot recovery
[*]
When opening the recovery, select Install and locate the file you downloaded just now.
Confirm execution flashing, restart the phone and voila!

BACKUP GUIDE
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO BACKUP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE YOU NEED TO EVEN ROOT YOUR DEVICE OR FLASH TWRP . IF YOU FAIL TO DO THIS, YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE UPDATING YOUR PHONE VIA OTA ESPECIALLY IF YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE
THIS IS MUST AS YOU CAN ALWAYS EASILY REVERT BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL STOCK STATE IN CASE YOU NEED IT.
Download TWRP from HERE or Download recovery from this forum. All credits to the developer to make it possible DOWNLOAD IT FROM HERE. TWRP WITH EFS BACKUP AND MORE
YOU DO NOT NEED ROOT
I suggest you use the second TWRP as it supports more partitions than the first one.
Open working adb
TYPE IN
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot LenovoA6020_TWRP-3.0.2-r3_7M.img
OR
fastboot boot TWRP-k5-3.0.2-r2_shreps.img
You will be booted into recovery.
Select Read only mode
Go to backup
Backup all partitions by selecting all of them
Swipe to confirm.
Make sure you have about 6GB for a full backup
You can skip user data if you do not want user apps backup
Nothing will be changed unless you enable system modification. So on first boot, simply do not enable system modification and go to backup and then backup all partitions. Keep these safe in case you need them.
Keep it in a safe place

Just to remember you guys, these methods DON'T WORK on A6020l36. Don't try this on your phone if it's this model, but if you did (like me), here is how to unbrick your phone.

Well, I have not tested this with a XIOAMI device with QFIL. In theory it should work, but I have always preferred MIFLASH as it is designed specifically for Xiaomi devices. Most of snapdragon devices has an emergency download mode.

What do you mean ? QFIL should work on all lenovo devices (snapdragon) provided you have proper stock images which are specific to your device. Google is your friend ? TWRP and development is not currently my aim for any device yet. As i did all my experiments using a K5 plus so I could write in length about it specifically.

Well, I have not tested this with a XIOAMI device with QFIL. In theory it should work, but I have always preferred MIFLASH as it is designed specifically for Xiaomi devices. Most of snapdragon devices has an emergency download mode.
Do you want me to add it to the guide ? Which region is your device from ?
What do you mean ? QFIL should work on all lenovo devices (snapdragon) provided you have proper stock images which are specific to your device. Google is your friend ? TWRP and development is not currently my aim for any device yet. As i did all my experiments using a K5 plus so I could write in length about it specifically.

Thank you for your time man! Twrp does not work with my phone (I mean, I can install it, and root/flash some stuff, but it definatelly does not work for flashing any of the images uploaded here, including the backups or the pac/cyanogenmod roms, they all give the same compatibility erros as the roms were not made for this phone). I followed the instructions, wiped system/data/dalvik, tried to flash, compatibility erros. There is no way of backup too, since it crashes at the ending. I'm starting to think that my phone is not the a6020l36 (even though it says that on a label under my battery, on my phone's setup and also on the box), but some variant made for my country only. And I know that are brazillians that claim to make it work on their phones, but since there's no way to guarantee that we really have the same phone, I don't now what to do. The QFIL stock rom (that I got from another place too, the ones uploaded here don't work either (another reason to think that my a6020l36 is different from the ones people claim to work here)). Thank you again for your time.

I have s433 firmware android 6.0,
1. if I just want to install twrp ( without rooting), do I need to flash boot.img
2. if want to install custom ROM and still don’t want to root, do I need to flash boot.img
3. after a litte bit googling i found i need to have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery for flashing custom rom ,
how do i unlock bootloader ( is boot.img fot that )
How to Unlock bootloader + flash twrp recovery + root and install SuperSu in Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon) without waiting for permission on the Latest MIUI 8 - V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG. (as of 22-11-16)
Here you have the step by step procedures to successfully unlock your Redmi Note 3 SnapDragon global variant with latest global stable rom MIUI 8. Please follow the steps carefully.
The rom used for this procedure is the latest global stable fastboot rom MIUI V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG.
This is the working guide for the Xiaomi redmi note 3 (SD) on latest MIUI 8.0.6.0 as on 22-11-2016. I did lots of experiments, bricked my device several times to find this working guide for latest rom, however you are free to link to this page for reference.
You dont need to apply for official unlocking and wait for a month or more to get the sms confirmation from xiaomi to officially unlock the bootloader, the problem with the official method is many users have reported that they did not receive the confirmation sms from xiaomi, even if they receive the confirmation sms the unlocking process stucks at some percentage and fails to unlock the bootloader. So for everyone here is the easy way to Unlock bootloader + flash twrp recovery + root and install SuperSu in Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon) without waiting for permission.
First of all take a backup of all important files from your phone to your PC before starting. Because all data will be formatted while flashing the rom.
I have simplified most of the procedures and complicated works for this guide. A good part of the credit goes to some other developers because their works were helpful to me for experimenting to find this working full unlocking guide for the latest miui rom for redmi note 3 (SD) as of 22-11-2016.
REQUIREMENTS:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (SD) Mobile
Micro USB data cable (or) compatible usb cable
Desktop or Laptop (Widows based)
Download all the tools, rom and other files from this androidfilehost folder link and keep all files in one folder for easy access:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=137618Files List:
1. AnF.zip
2. fastboot_edl.zip
3. Fastboot Rom: "kenzo_global_images_V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG PreRooted by SUBI.tgz"
4. MiFLash_v2016.08.30.0.zip
5. minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4_setup _working.exe
6. MiPcSuiteSetup_v3.2.1.3111_2717.exe
7. Root Checker Basic v5.9.7.apk
8. SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip
9. twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo for Redmi Note 3 _SD.zip
10. ADBdriversetup.zip (alternate use, in case device specific drivers are not properly installed)
***Carefully remove your sim card & sd card from mobile (if inserted) before you begin and do not connect to internet until all steps are completed, because the phone would automatically sync with Xiaomi servers at first boot and may cause problems.
Make sure your phone is charged 60% and above.
The complete video go through of step by step procedures in this guide is available in this YouTube video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj4gVMk3y0o
FOLLOW THE STEPS CAREFULLY, IF YOU FACE ANY TROUBLE, START OVER AGAIN FROM STEP 1, IF YOU FACE ANY OTHER ERROR OR BOOTLOOP OR STUCK IN LOGO LOOK AT THE TROUBLE SHOOT SECTION AT THE BOTTOM.
Step 1:
Enable Usb Debugging, if not done before:
Open Settings in your device"Redmi note 3 (SD)", scroll to bottom in settings and click on "About phone" and now tap on MIUI version 7 times, it will show a message like "You are now a developer" and Developer options will be revealed.
Next go back to Settings main screen and then -> Additional settings -> Developer options -> Enable Developer options, Enable OEM Unlock, Usb Debugging.

Note: After that when you connect your phone to the Pc to execute adb commands, a prompt may appear on your phone with computer's fingerprint key, you should confirm it when it appears. In case if you already done this for your computer with proper adb drivers installed, you don't need to bother about this.
Step 2:
DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT IN YOUR PC:
You now have to disable driver signature enforcement in your PC, to do this you have to open the settings window by pressing the shortcuts"Windows button + i -> Update & Security -> Recovery -> Advanced startup -> Restart now. Now the system will logout and show Recovery options, from there select Troubleshoot -> Startup Settings in Advanced options -> Restart. Your system will now reboot and show the "Startup settings" screen, a list of options will be available, you have to choose option number 7 to disable driver signature enforcement. Then the system will boot into the OS with driver signature enforcement disabled. After that do not restart your pc until all the below steps are completed, in case if you restart your pc for any reason you need to redo this step again because system reboot might enable driver signature enforcement again. That's it. Refer this video if you need further guidance.
Step 3:
To install ADB, Fastboot and other drivers in your PC:
Install the " minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4_setup _working " file downloaded from the link I provided above. If any security prompts appear on your screen, allow all prompts.
Install the " MiPcSuiteSetup_v3.2.1.3111_2717.exe " file downloaded from the link I provided above. If any security prompts appear on your screen, allow all prompts.
Install the " MiFLash_v2016.08.30.0.zip " file downloaded from the link I provided above. If any security prompts appear on your screen, allow all prompts.
Step 4:
Extract AnF.zip file and execute the commands:
Now extract the "AnF.zip" file downloaded from the link I provided above. Connect your phone to Pc using the Usb cable. Open the extracted AnF folder and double click on the cmd.exe file, which will open a adb command window from there.
Execute the below command through adb command window to check and confirm the phone is connected via adb interface. If connected properly it should show device serial like "******** device"
adb devices
Incase if your phone shows a prompt for computer's fingerprint key approval, allow it. Then execute the command again. You should see your phone serial number as shown in the image below, which means your phone is properly connected via adb. Incase if the device is not connect properly via adb, disable and enable USB debugging on your phone. If that also helping to install the phone's adb drivers, extract and run the"ADBdriversetup.zip" downloaded from the link I provided above to install the specific drivers for your phone.
Step 5:
Reboot the phone to EDL mode:
Now you have to reboot your phone to edl mode aka Emergency download mode. To do this execute the below command via adb window with phone still connected to Pc.
adb reboot edl
Your phone will now reboot into blank screen or edl mode and new driver named "qshusb qloader 9008" will be installed in your Pc, now only red led notification light will be blinking on your phone. Once the driver is installed properly, the phone is now connected in edl mode. Now close the adb command window.
Step 6:
Setup MiFlash Tool & Flash the ROM:
Open the MiFlash tool (MiFLash_v2016.08.30.0.zip) application you installed earlier, click refresh button and your phone will be visible as port number (ex: COM10) in MiFlash tool. Exe file is in this path,"C:\Xiaomi\XiaoMiFlash"
Now extract the "kenzo_global_images_V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG PreRooted by SUBI.tgz" fastboot rom file downloaded from the link I provided above. In your MiFlash tool window, click the Browse button and locate the extracted fastboot rom folder. Then select "clean all" button at the bottom of MiFlash window. The flash tool is now configured. Now click the Flash button.
Wait for few minutes for the flashing process to complete, once the process is complete and MiFlash tool window will show task finished. But do not disconnect the phone.
Step 7:
Reboot to Fastboot mode & execute Fastboot commands:
Now while the phone is still connected to your pc, reboot your phone to fastboot mode by pressing Volume down button and Power button simultaneously until you see the boot screen and release, the phone will now enter into fastboot mode.
Now double click and open the cmd.exe file from AnF folder you extracted earlier to open the command window. Then execute the below command.
fastboot oem device-info
This command will show you the current bootloader status. The bootloader status shows "Device Unlocked: False", execute the below command in command widow, it will Unlock the bootloader.
fastboot oem unlock-go
Your device might restart now, if restarts press Volume down button and Power button simultaneously to reboot phone to fastboot mode again to check your bootloader status again by executing the below command. It should show "Device Unlocked: True" in the command window. Which means the device's bootloader is unlocked.
fastboot oem device-info
Now to flash TWRP recovery and Supersu for root permissions, jump to step 8, or if your aim is to unlock the bootloader only, you may restart your phone and skip all below steps.
Step 8:
Flash TWRP:
Now restart phone to fastboot mode by pressing Volume down button and Power button simultaneously until you see the fastboot screen.
Extract the "twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo for Redmi Note 3 _SD.zip" file downloaded from the link I provided above to the AnF folder.
Then open the AnF folder, double click and open the cmd.exe file, paste the below command in the command window to flash twrp recovery.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img
After flashing the recovery image reboot the phone to TWRP recovery by pressing Volume Up button and Power button simultaneously until you see the boot screen. It will boot the phone into TWRP recovery, on the front screen just swipe the slider to mount system as read only. That's it now to flash supersu proceed to step 9.
Step 9:
Flash SuperSu:
While the phone is in TWRP recovery connect the phone to Pc, it will be detected as mass storage device, just copy the "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip" file downloaded from the link I provided above to your phone's mass storage device.
On the twrp menu click on Install option and locate the "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip" to install via twrp, now swipe the slider to right to install supersu to have root access in your phone's OS and then wipe dalvik cache using the button below in twrp.
If twrp shows any read/write error while flashing supersu, on the twrp mainscreen choose mount option and click on system in the next menu, then go back to main screen and try again to install.
That's it, now supersu is installed, to check the root status follow to step 10.
Step 10:
Check root status:
After completing all the steps successfully, reboot the phone into the system normally and complete the initial setup without Sim card, the first boot may take a little more time to boot into OS, In case if the phone stuck in boot screen for very long(10+ mins), go to troubleshoot section at the bottom and start over the steps. Otherwise you are good to go.
Connect device to Pc after initial setup completes, now copy the "Root Checker.apk" file to your phone and install it, open the root checker app and click on verify root, you will be prompted by Supersu for root permission, allow it, your root access will be verified. Voila, you have successfully rooted, flashed twrp and installed supersu on your Redmi Note 3 with latest rom installed.
That's it. Now you are ready to rock.
KNOWN ISSUES:
No issues found so far, in case if you find any issues after successfully unlocking using the above method, kindly let me know.
After successfully unlocking your bootloader, incase if you update your rom via official updates, your will lose root access and twrp custom recovery and may end up with locked bootloader again, if you face this situation by some reason, you may start over and follow this guide from step 1 to revert back to unlocked bootloader. Do not update the rom and turn off automatic updates in settings as a precautionary measure.
Troubleshoot:
If your device gets bricked or Stuck in Boot logo, try this,
Reboot your phone into edl mode by following below step.
If you are stuck on bootscreen, you may not be able to enter into edl mode using the normal method above because of bootloop or Stuck in Boot logo, in that case try this method to enter into edl mode from fastboot, download "fastboot_edl.zip" file from the link I provided above, extract the zip file and open the extracted folder, connect the phone to your Pc in fastboot mode(vol down + power), double click and run this file "edl.cmd", the phone will automatically enter into edl mode if the phone's drivers and adb drivers are installed properly.Now follow step 6 and follow on from this step.
If QHUSB_BULK drivers are not properly installed while the phone in edl mode,
If QHUSB_BULK drivers are not installed while the phone in edl mode, your device may not be visible in MiFlash tool(ex:COM10) even after you click refresh button, in this case open the device manager in your Pc, the phone will be visible as QHUSB_BULK with some alert sign, right click on it and select Update driver software. Then click browse my computer and browse to the location of the driver files in path "C:\Program Files\Xiaomi\MiPhone\Qualcomm\Driver" and proceed and when prompted to Install this Driver Software anyway, allow it and complete the driver installation. Now open MiFash tool and click refresh button your device will be detected in MiFash tool, now you can flash the fastboot rom by following the steps above.
Does this work for Kate version also? OP doesn't specify
Will I lose my warranty by using this method of bootloader unlock?
This method still works for Global Snapdragon phone. Finally got it last night after 2 days of torture (I didn't sleep).
The important part is firstly the image with the modified file you are going to flash to the phone. Here he is using v8.0.6.0 which is the newest (and now last) update for android 5.1 (which is needed, phone will not flash 6.0 without a proper Cache and data clear). I ended up using version 7.3.2.0 which is 1 patch before the version my phone came with (7.3.7.0). Then I replaced emmc_appsboot.mbn with the one from here then flashed the file in EDL mode.
After the flash is done is just as important I found. You place it in fastboot mode (power button + vol down) and run a script. I wasn't able to manually unlock the device via cmd line 'fastboot oem unlock-go'. Instead I found a script that worked from here called 'Root_Folder' (this site also has majority of the files needed). You use the script called 'Root' in the folder to finish the unlock. Notice there is a 'recovery.img' in the folder as well, I replaced it with ZCX TWRP.
Now run through the script after the flash in fastboot mode. Follow the instructions from script, sometimes you take cable out or force phone back into fastboot mode. The key goal here is to have the script boot into TWRP in the end. If this happens you can do all that's needed now.
Another thing I noticed was you have to give debug permission to computer your using and save permission. Debug mode/oem unlock - connect cable, on phone you should get a prompt to accept PC and save permission. If you don't get this prompt make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
Important steps are:
1. Phone connect to computer via debug/oem mode.
2. Flash correct modified ROM with MiFlash in EDL mode.
3. Once flash is done hold power and volume down button for fastboot mode.
4. Run script to attempt to unlock bootloader and/or install TWRP.

You would have to look it up for Kate specifically. If anything at all that changes it's the Image you use to flash the phone.

Don't think so. You don't 'officially unlock it' and you can flash a stock image that relocks the phone automatically.
Thank you works 100% !!!! :laugh:
After booting to TWRP it's asking me for a decrypt password and I cannot mount any partitions. Then I tried rebooting but phone is stuck on MI logo.

Can you boot back into TWRP? If not you'll have to reinstall from EDL mode and try to unlock bootloader again.
A decrypt password to access any of the internal storage? Did you have a password with last install of MIUI? Also boot into fastboot and see if your bootloader is unlocked with 'fastboot oem device-info'. If your bootloader is unlocked, you might have to reformat data files on phone, which will wipe system completely and remove encryption.
Oh you probably also need to put a SD card into the device to use to flash from, if your flashing a new ROM. You have to wipe main system with advance wipe, wipe everything but internal storage and micro sdcard (in TWRP).

Yes Praw Zoll, you can use this method for your device, I have tested this method working on Redmi Note 3 pro or Kenzo or Snapdragon variant.
You can also refer this miui thread for this same method with images and video, en.miui(dot)com/thread-461694-1-1.html

This method is for Redmi Note 3 pro, (Kenzo) variant.
can i use it for global stable 8.2.3 ??
The heart of this - the unofficial bootloader unlock - are taken from: http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html (It's generally polite to link your sources).
This _does_ work on `kate`. However, this is using a modified 'emmc_appsboot.mbn'. If you flash an original emmc_appsboot.mbn, you may well find your bootloader no longer unlocked and you needing to reflash your device back to stock.
Also, for those wanting to use it on kate (because Xiaomi seems singularly incompetent when it comes to supporting the official bootloader unlock for that devcie): your device will identify itself as a kenzo, so you may have trouble flashing things like the 'miuifirmware_x.zip' updates for kate. Also, those 'miuifirmware_x.zip' files often include the emmc_appsboot.mbn, so be careful.
On another note, if anyone has an actual infallible method to get an official bootloader unlock for the kate device, please let me know.
Can I use this method for 2GB / 16 GB version of Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon)?
Thanks
Works Thanks
Tested On 18/05/17
This method works But You are stuck on a older rom with no OTA/Later Updates. Method Does not work with MM Roms.(Maybe with different emmc_appsboot.mbn it would work.
Some Pointers
I was on MIUI8 before using this.
1. This downgrades your ROM from the latest ROM, therefore Points to follow.
2. Use This Method Instead Works with latest firmware as on date.
Works, Simply Nicely Perfectly Done, Just follow the steps things will never goes wrong. :highfive:

You have flashed a recovery rom and that's why you are in bootloop.
Try to flash in EDL mode a fastboot rom.
PS: Hope you haven't tried to downgrade already because you can loose IMEI and baseband.

I have already rooted my Sharp p1 so here steps for getting root(Magisk root only):
It is needed to unlock bootloader first:
1. Go to the Settings -> About phone, scroll down and tap on the Build number several times until you get message that you are a developer.
2. After that go to the Settings -> Developer options. Enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
3. Download adb drivers: k-tai.sharp.co.jp/support/developers/driver/index.html
4. Install them, don't forget to disable driver signature verification on your computer.
5. Download ADB zip archive and extract it in C:\adb.
dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
6. Open the Command Prompt as Administrator. Go to the adb folder with command: cd C:\adb
3. Enter your phone into fastboot mode: turn phone off, than press volume down and power button and connect USB in the same time.
4. Than enter this commands in command prompt:
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot erase userdata
After that it's possible to flash patched boot.img:
1. Download patched boot(for build number 00TW_1_190): yadi.sk/d/L7blgSOi3Rxpab
2. Place patched_boot.img file into C:\adb folder
3. Flash it with comand in fastboot:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
4. Download and install magisk manager on your phone
5. Install zip archive of magisk from manager
This is all. Good luck!
PS: All the user data will be erased after this. Also phone have to be updated to the last firmware. If someone don't want to update the phone (some people got broken wifi and bluetooth after update), he or she must use boot.img from their firmware and patch it in Magisk manager. Correct boot.img can be extracted from update file of their firmware: 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=882709&st=2740#entry70267350
Being root, do you know if it's possible to install another firmware image on the Aquos P1, like the one of the SHV34 (which is Android 8)? I believe both phones have the exact same hardware...
The trouble is, the SHV34 Android 8 update is OTA and there's no firmware file available for download.

No, I don't know. There are update files of Android 7 and 8 for shv34 on 4pda.ru forum, but it isn't full update. Only system, boot and vendor images are full, all other are patches. I think we need help of Android developer to create firmware from shv34 update, if it possible.
Few months ago one developer started making Lineage OS 14 for our phone, but developing stuck because there wasn't someone to test all new stuff and make logcats, like test new kernel. Also guys from 4pda started donating for the phone to send it to developer, but didn't donate full price by this time.

As I know, it is not possible to access fastboot on shv34, so the only way is to do something like this https://blog.tewi.love/?p=135
The same is for sh-04h and 506sh. Only sharp p1 has fastboot
I have softbank sharp aquos 506sh.
My build mumber is s1008, nougjat 7.0.
I want to update to oreo.
After net search, i installed japan vpn.
But when i try to update, it gives error that " this service is unavailable because can not read sim card".
I tried both ways inserting sim card. And removing it, but still get the same response.
Kindly guide when how i can update it.
Sim works fine in mobile.
I have trief factory resetting 2 3 times from inside settimg menu, as it do not boot in recovery,
Kimdly help me, because fighting with it ftom last 2 days to get updated

I also have 506SH, and im stuck on Marshmallow. Same USIM Error, the VPN trick dont work with this model!! and it dont have fast boot or recovery as far as i know. Is it possible you can dump a clean backup of ur OS 7. I just want to update my OS, not looking for root etc!!
dear if you can tell me the procedure, iwould definitely do it.
if even make a dump, how you would flash it without fastboot, root, recovery,
i am seraching from last week, but could not find any clues

I have found this method online "Using FlashFire App (Root users)" But it require a rooted set! and I believe to apply this dump the target set must be rooted too! I think 506SH has no root either!!
https://www.the***********.com/backup-android-device-guide/
I dont know why no1 ever backup the download OTA of the firmware and posted it anywhere!!
I will try this logcat method! and will report back!! i dont think it will work! I think there is some sort of SIM issue! because I notice in my phone! the baseband has no version! just 00 00 00!!

baseband 00 00 00 is beacuse you are still on marshmallow 6.0 , which was out of factory version, i am on noughat 7.0, my baseband is 1.00 00 00, and if i ever get oreo, it will be 200 00 00, every company has its nown symbols and styles
logcat method can work if ota update essage apperas, but unfortunately, we dont have that option still.
lets search on local olx for 506sh users, maybe some one has upgraded oreo or some methods . maybe whole sellers in karachi bringing sharp phones, have some clues,
When I reset My phone and setup first time! I get the Automatic update pop up!! I will try to logcat at this stage to see if it shows any URL!! in Karachi phone shop have no clue, they even dont know this phone has a 120Hz screen! the shop I bought my phone from was telling me if I found a working root method! he can give me the contract to root these sets!

that automatic update message which appears is just due to reset.
thing which i understand is that update process is not accepting wifi, and goes for sim data.
because in SOFTBANK website, they stated, either wifi or sim data required
