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.

This Thread is discontinued so i decided to update the unlocking methode one more time
Problems with rooting, loading ROM then recovery & download images -some solutions
I started with stock LG v20 T-Mobile H91810P and followed this step by step & the original threads. I loaded the latest stock Oreo from H91820H from here instead of latest Nougat H91810U - Pie & some other versions had too many things not working.
In the process there were a few problems -the major ones are following with solutions, some from here:
1) The file H91810p rom (H91810p_00_0717.kdz) downloaded from here.
2) I lost root several times, but had TWRP. So I used adb sideload like:
Boot/start TWRP and the start ADB Sideload
Download Magisk-v16.0.zip and copy to adb directory.
On Windows PC connect Cell with USB and in CMD window type (copy/paste):
adb start-server
adb sideload "Magisk-v16.0.zip"And never update migisk after installing from above or will lose root. Also no need for SU.
3. Camera did not work and people could not hear me nor could I hear them when I picked up a call - A reboot/restart fixed it.
4. No need to download UPPERCUT (that is hard to download), because LGUP works fine without UPPERCUT.
I have 4 problems remaining -any help for solutions here is appreciated - especially exact type help please:
1) On LAF/Boot (original download) partition: Vol+ & connect to USB caused the download mode to come on for about 2 seconds and then TWRP (however I am glad that TWRP is here) -Prefer this to be the original download mode.
2) On Recovery patition: Vol- & connect to USB causes fastboot to come up. Flashed the recovery-twrp-h918-2018-10-18.img (renamed to recovery.img) to recovery partition using flashify and TWRP unsuccessfully. -Prefer this to be TWRP.
3) TWRP cannot access the Data partition. Rebuilt and reformatted Data from TWRP without success. -Prefer access to Data from TWRP.
4) At boot time: I like to get rid of the warning that my bootloader is unlocked. -I can live with this one.
After thoughts: Now that I am rooted on the latest stock Oreo H91820H -I am not sure what I want to load that I could not before?! overclocking the CPU or changing the hue on the display is not a big deal for me at all. & Yes I will uninstall some bloatware - but that is not so bad on this phone anyhow. Any good ideas or a better/later rom than H91820H that has all things working, do please let me know. I am glad that I rooted, ahh the challenge, but if I have no other reason such as to load a program then I think I will revert back to stock and unlock the bootloader & let the ROM updates come from T-Mobile & LG.

You can restore download mode by flashing the zip in the original lafexploit thread, but make sure you have twrp on the recovery partition. Make sure you are on the latest version of twrp, when you flashed twrp, you were supposed to format the data partition before flashing the rom.
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
For access to Data in TWRP: In the original thread there is nothing about formatting, but in step by step guide there is and I followed - however it does not specify what partition to format. I also ran ./step2.sh script per instructions.
Anyhow as I mentioned above I rebuilt and reformatted the Data partition and that did not give me access. I am on the TWRP 3.2.1-3. What partitions do I need to reformat anyhow?
To flash recovery: I used TWRP and flashify to flash recovery-twrp-h918-2018-10-18.img and it flashes but does not work - I get to fastboot with Vol- & USB.

I had this same situation and ended up bricking the phone, can't get into recovery, stuck in boot loop. This was months ago, just got another v20 and ready to try again. Previously I'd successfully done 3 v20's.
I guess this is a bit late for a proper upgrade thread with a proper guide, but better late than never. I have an FRD-L02 and I'm using 8.0.0.513(C675) without any major problems. Without further ado, here's how I did it. Make a full backup before you start.
Perquisites
1. Unlocked bootloader. Huawei doesn't provide the codes now but you can still get them using DC Unlocker.
2. TWRP. Use this link - http://https://mega.nz/#!8xcyWTyT!OpMvPzMUAGPehDiqihi_gu6LViEltVECSIR743-KgrI
3. Firmware files - Use Firmware Finder from TeamMT. I downloaded them on PC. Makes life easier. You'll need to download three files -
i.update.zip
ii.update_full.zip (this can vary)
iii.public.zip
The links vary for different models so I'm just giving you a rough idea. If you are on PC you can just check in the common base for your device.
4. HuRU updater - Use version 0.4 http://https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
5. Stock EMUI recovery - Extract the update.zip and use HuaweiUpdateExtractor to extract recovery.img from update.app. Make sure verify header checksum is unchecked.
6. SD card or USB-otg to load the files.
7. A PC :laugh:
The guide :
USB or SD card prep
1. Rename the following files -
i. update.zip remains same
ii. update_full_FRD-L02_channel_in.zip becomes update_all_hw.zip
iii. update_data_full_public.zip becomes update_data_public.zip
2. Make sure all the following files are in one folder -
i. HuRUpdater_0.4
ii. recovery.img (this is stock EMUI recovery)
iii. update.zip
iv. update_all_hw.zip
v. update_data_public.zip
Flashing firmware
1. Reboot to bootloader and ensure that you have at least 80% battery along with Phone and FRP unlocked.
2. Enter the following commands -
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img or fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (depends on current android version)
fastboot reboot
3. Immediately press and hold volume up so that you boot into TWRP.
4. In TWRP, you'll probably get errors if you try and wipe straight away. Do a factory reset and reboot directly back into TWRP.
5. Do the necessary wipes - Dalvik, cache, system, data, internal storage. I was able to avoid many errors when I did a complete wipe.
6. Go the folder we prepped earlier and run HuRUpdater_0.4.zip. You'll have to press volume down to start flashing.
7. It'll take a while and after it's done boot into the system.
8. This method removes TWRP once you boot into the system and we are now on stock recovery. You will most likely encounter a bootloop on first boot. Don't worry, simply press and hold the power button to
power off and immediately press and hold the volume up button once the screen goes off to enter recovery.
9. Perform a factory reset by following the steps on the screen. Reboot!
10. You're done. Voila. Enjoy.

Hey, dear Forum Users!
Prerequisite things:
Install HiSuite, it has the proprietary drivers needed to operate ADB and Fastboot.
You need to unlock your bootloader, get them from dc-unlocker, it's 4 euros.
You need the following:
The 2018 kernel and vendor image: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aFTTMSArwBuF5tsJBkWJ7f_d7IQc7zyy (credits goes to Boki, @deadliestPixel on Twitter)
You need this TWRP to boot up: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-y6/development/guide-backup-current-partitions-t3853831 (thanks to @leepicstitch on Twitter for finding this)
You'll need to flash this TWRP to recovery_ramdisk: https://www.mediafire.com/file/7nyab3whb6bp7r8/twrp_3.2.3_atu.rar/file
Choose a ROM that will suit your needs from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-y6/development/index-list-roms-y62018-t3854167 or try other GSIs
(I recommend Resurrection Remix with gapps and su)
So if you have everything, let's do this.
Before we start everything make sure you have a microSD card that has the VENDOR.img and the system.img you downloaded.
So, we need to make a backup of our current recovery_ramdisk for later, you can follow the TWRP XDA post above to do so.
After you've done that go to fastboot and flash the older kernel with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash kernel /path/to/KERNEL.img
Flash the recovery you downloaded with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/recovery.img
Now boot up that screen flasher recovery you had before. If you booted it up just reboot the phone to recovery with
Code:
adb reboot recovery
, the Y6 Prime 2018 recovery should boot up.
Now go to Install -> Change Storage -> Micro SD -> flash image -> choose the vendor.img and flash it to the VENDOR partition.
Do the same for the system.img file.
Go to the main menu and go to wipe, then wipe dalvik/art cache, cache, data, internal storage.
go to the main menu and go to reboot, then bootloader.
Now we need to flash our stock recovery_ramdisk back, because eRecovery will complain about a damaged data partition. Do a low level data format, type yes, and when the emui recovery pops up, do another data wipe.
Now, just hit reboot and the phone should boot into the ROM.
Turn off the phone and reboot back into fastboot and flash back the Y6 Prime 2018 recovery just in case if eRecovery wants to do something weird.
Now just reboot your phone and enjoy it.
If you need any help send me a DM on Twitter (@miklos_akos) or on Discord (miklos_akos#0001).

One question, I have to flash the system.img as a vendor?... (BECAUSE YOU SAY ABOVE THAT WITH THE SYSTEM. IMG WE MADE THE SAME AS WITH THE VENDOR)

System.img goes to the system partition, obviously.
This worked flawlessly, the only difference is that I couldn't flash Kernel.
The ROM I used: PHH Treble 9.0 github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v117
The steps I took:
- Factory reset phone
- Backup stock recovery_ramdisk
- Download kernel (unused) and vendor
- Boot fastboot
- Flash twrp in recovery_ramdisk
- Boot twrp
- Flash vendor, flash system
- Clean caches
- Reboot fastboot
- Flash stock recovery_ramdisk
- Reboot
erecovery did not complain, everything was ok there

Since the ATU-L21 and L22 is the same hardware wise it should work without any problems.
i keep either getting a black screen or vendor not mount or system not mount if not vendor ( ATU-L22 Y6 2018 )

Still trying to flash a custom system.img to my Atu-L22 after weeks of no success but flowing thru with countless amounts of tutorials, Anyone have any ideas for this phone, any help much appreciated haha?
I'm stuck in a boot splashscreen... This phone is really not easy to work with x(
edit : Narrowing it down, apparently, I don't have a vendor partition to flash the vendor to... I am starting to loose hope.
I need stock recovery_ramdisk.img . Anyone have? (Im sorry for my bad English )

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.

Link ADBmini - zip updated with Magisk 21.4 zip
MD5 for ADBfastbootmini.zip: 0ad97a9ae1539b26ef78c849b169e807
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.
Is it possible to install the US rom on a device with EU rom?
in the EU version I can't set the frame rate to 144 hz.

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.

reboot to bootloader by... power off device -> press and hold volume down and power button until you see the logo -> connect device to your computer then do the steps 7 to 12
also once you are in TWRP make sure you ... 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.

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.
